No matter what machine you decide on, you will have better luck going to a dealer. If you are looking for an inexpensive machine, find a dealer that takes trade ins and does reputable servicing of machines. He will more than likely have some sweet deals on a used machine that will fit your needs and your budget. The dealer where I teach classes, is very reputable and makes sure whatever machine he takes in on trade to put out for sale has been completely gone through, cleaned, oiled and adjusted so that it works as closely as it can to what it would have been out of the box. Happy hunting:D
