Hi-
I am seriously considering purchasing the Janome Horizon, but was wondering if the $3k price tag is out of the ballpark? I was thinking that some people are purchasing them for $2500 or a little less, but maybe I am wrong? Please shed some light on this. Thanks! |
I got mine in Canada for $2499
|
I got my Janome 9700 for $1799.00
Love it . |
$3K is not out of the ball park, but you should be able to get the machine for closer to $2500. Depending on your local dealers, you might have to wait for one of the Janome special promotions though.
I know a few people have done appreciably better than $2500, but that seems to be the best possible price in my area. |
Are you any where near Houston Texas they will be having there BIG QUILT SHOW 3rd of Nov You can find some good deals there,
|
$3,000 is the full manufacturer's suggested retail price. my dealer sells it for $2,400. the next lowest price i've heard is $2,500.
unless your dealer throws in several years of "free" maintenance (as in at least 3 years) and a nice selection of the optional feet and accessories, i'd look elsewhere. |
Do a search on this subject, there was a post about a month ago, a gal found a vendor in TN that was selling it for $1800. You wouldn't get free lessons but it would still be new and come with a full warranty.

Hi Canmitch,
Can you tell me where in Ontario that you found this price? The dealer in Guelph, Triangle Sewing Centre quoted me $3000 and the new dealer in Maxwell (south west of Collingwood) wanted $3200 but that included the new table that just came out. I am interested in this machine but have been hesitating about the price. Many thanks. |
My lqs just participated in a small quilt show and let the show use at least 20 of those machines. She in turn sells them at a discounted price to anyone interested. It comes with the tutto case ($200 value) for free and of course she takes trade ins on certain Janomes and a free class to learn how to use it. But this is in Houston, Tx. Not sure where you are.

I got mine for $2495 at Alko Sewing Center. I wanted one but was not going to pay full retail of $3000. Told myself that I would pay as much as $2500 and if I could find one then I would buy it. $3000 is the suggested retail, dealers should be able to sell for what they want and still be able make a profit. The Horizon has a few more features than other lesser priced machines that are just as good, one just needs to decided if these features are what one really needs
Try a few out before buying is always a good idea. |
Shelbie I sent you a message.
|
You should do some more research on the best price possible. Every penny counts.

I bought mine in central BC for $2200 CDN (with the 12% tax it came to just under $2500)The dealer threw in the travel case as well. I didn't get the table though but I think I will end up getting it later on.
