Im loving this machine. It is a powerhorse but also very basic. Im used to having more options on my machines. Im using this one for all my mask making and utility sewing: bags, curtains, etc.
cannot believe i waited two weeks for plastic. very disappointed. might return
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry that you aren't happy with the plastic exterior of the Heavy Duty sewing machine. Please know that it is very durable and the inside is an all metal heavy duty frame. You have 30 days from receipt of the machine to submit a return request if you are not completely happy with it (free of charge). We have put it through testing against our high quality standards and hope that you'll be pleased with its performance.
I had purchased one for myself several months ago and my brother has been borrowing it to make masks so we got one for him. His granddaughters are excited to learn how to sew on it, as well. It has been very easy to work with and feels like it will last for years to come.
I got this machine (4452) to replace a much older sewing machine that was giving my wife problems for years. It was her birthday present and she used it that very day. She said that it was a great gift and that it worked so much better....being able to stitch through her double layer fabric (that was where she had trouble before). Also the self threader....she couldn't believe how much that helped.
My wife has been very pleased with her 4452. However, the lack of a manual with the purchase of an expensive machine is confusing and disappointing. Also appreciated would be how to videos about this new machine. Also confusing and disappointing.
I really like this sewing machine. I have been sewing since my teens and have ran through many brands of machines. This new Singer 4452 has already proven to be a winner. Thanks Singer for a great machine!
