I bought a new one in 2009. Just absolutley love it. Although I have not even touched the surface of what it can do. It is amazing. Worth the price I paid for it in Alaska. Got the embroidery module with it also. I had for 35 years a Kenmore therefore this is a way up step for me. I sewed on the new bernina 300 series and I do not like it. Will stick with the my 440QE.
Enjoy and jhope this helps.
