This is without a doubt the best sewing machine I have ever owned and I have owned a few. The set up, which I had watched on YouTube several times to prepare myself, and which was clearly outlined on the instruction pamphlet, was easy! I managed to "self thread" the needle in the first go. Positioning the bobbin is very innovative: Just drop it in and pull the thread up. I was able to start sewing immediately and only needed to adjust the tension just a little bit a few times. This is a speedy, heavy duty machine, which easily sews through several layers of fabric, which I, as a quilter, appreciate a lot. I am impressed with the resources available on line to get acquainted with all aspects of this sewing machine. I am very glad I decided to buy it. Thank you, Singer! I know it was not easy to ship it out to me in the middle of a blizzard, and it arrived just in time for me to finish a major project. I highly recommend this machine to anyone!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love my new machine. Arrived ready to go. Would have preferred a paper instruction booklet. You only have an online one. I had an older version of this machine and some parts have been replaced with plastic like the bobbin compartment cover that you have to take completely off to insert the bobbin. Also the stitching guides are harder to see
I love the machine. Needed a heavy duty machine to mend my husband's and son's work clothes (heavy denim and duck cloth) and for home décor projects. My only complaint is that the automatic needle threader on the machine stopped working after about 2 weeks. It was great while it worked but then it just stopped. Glad my eyesight is still good and I can thread my own machine. Other than that, I have no complaints. It works well on all types of fabrics and comes with a large number of attachments.
Love this sewing machine! It is just has heavy duty as advertised. I have already sewn jeans and seat belt material to make costumes and it makes such quick work of it all! You can buy countless feet for this machine to fit any need you want. My two complaints with this machine is the thread cutter needs to have a bigger opening or needs to be sloped more so the thread slides into the cutter easier. Two, when removing the bottom cover to have closer sewing area, you can't reach the whole way under the bottom which can be an issue for bulky material. If those two design flaws were fixed this would be an easy 10/5 stars!!!

I am a professional seamstress and use this machine at the shop. It is a replacement for the commercial grade singer I had used for years. I am very happy with this machine, as I now have to take home only a few projects to use my personal industrial machine for, such as heavier leather and multiple layers of webbing. I believe this machine could manage some of that sort of thing as well. But I try not to stress out a lighter machine. I can say that it does jeans hems without a hiccup and leather like for gloves very well, and it also does very fine materials such as organdie and silk beautifully. I am sure I will get many years of use from this machine, running it as much as 9 hrs a day. For a household machine, I believe it would go better than ten years for an enthusiast, longer for a hobbyist.

Thank you for the 5-star review of the Singer Heavy Duty model 4452 sewing machine. Your satisfaction is what we strive for and your feedback is very important to us.
I wanted a heavy duty sewing machine so I could do upholstery projects. My first project with this machine was reupholstering an old office chair. It worked great! The tension was perfect and needed no adjustment. It was easy to learn how to use it. My experience with sewing is between beginner to intermediate.
