nicrn27.....hey girl...best advice is don't hurry into buying any machine until you are happy and you have tried them all out and they do exactly what you want......
My Dad has a Gammil it is wonderful...has so many cool things and has been great..... the price is high but depends on the use and problems one is having....and things do where out ..so metal is good....thoat distance to me would be important....Good luck decideing.... :D
