Good Machine but Foot Control Issues

I really liked this machine! It was easy to use and the automatic thread snip + tie off features were great for me. I’ve only had the machine for a few months when the foot control stopped working. It would work here and there but then stopped. Seems like the socket is loose and messing with the connection. I thought, oh well I’ll just take it in for service under warranty since it’s 4 months old. I was wrong, the warranty is not so hassle free as advertised. You have to find a dealer & jump through hoops to prove purchase. I’m new to sewing and this was very sad for me so now I’m looking for a new machine because most repair shops charge 125+ even for a simple fix and have crazy long repair times. If this would have happened after a few years of owning, u would highly recommend this machine but since it is so new, I fear it’s an indication of machine quality lacking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've tried the machine on a number of projects, but when it came down to doing a commission to re upholster 4 chairs, it failed. The material was vinyl and it could handle the seams, but when it came to the top stitching the stitches were inconsistent. The needle would vibrate wildly at the extra layer and catch in loops on yhe bottom, as I tried to remove the knots at the bobbin, it took off on it's own sewing without touching the foot. I'm lucky it didn't sew through my finger. The customer was not pleased with the finish on the tops stitching. I removed it several times & re-sewed it costing lots of extra time. I may not get paid for all that work because of this. Yes, I adjusted the tension & ran a test on scrap vinyl. I was sent home with 2 of the chairs to re-do again. I'm very disappointed with this machine.
