I own 2 Pfaff. One I bought new, very basic machine. Wanted the walking foot. LOVE it. the other one I bought thru EBay #1471. It has more features. It is computerized and it is one tough machine. I accidentally knocked it off the table onto the floor & after I picked it up & put it back & reattached any pieces that popped off, it still worked perfectly. Have had it about 3 years and have had it serviced once.
