I have an old, 24 years, Bernina 910. Every time I sit down to sew on it, I want to hug it!! In all these years, I have never had to take it in, except to be cleaned. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that the new ones do, but it sews beautifully, is easy to use, I just love it. I will probably never get another new Bernina though, they are just too much money, hard for me to believe.
