I have a Pfaff Tipronic 2030 made in Germany. I bought it around 2001. I love it and I only had to change the light during all these years. Just last month I bought the 2140 upgraded to 2170 made in Germany= this one is used but I didn't doubt it when the dealer showed it to me.
I will use this for embroidery only. I don't think I would buy another brand. My serger is also Pfaff.
