I don't know if it was just bad luck,but I bought a europro shark sewing machine,a shark vaccum, and a shark iron and they were all nothing but trouble. The vaccum and the iron were bought locally so I took them back,but I bought the sewing machine online and have for some reason cannot get a straight answer from the company.For the last 4 months it has been nothing but a big paper weight. I wouldn't take anything in the EuroPro brand if it was free after these 3 lemons.
