I am not sure I could fall for those stories. AT least not the machine I have. There was no moisture inside and no rust. Excellent for that much use. And in use, I mean, sewing everyday. This machine was not one to sit with the cover on it. It was USED and used HARD! I would never trade it in. If I were to buy a new machine, I would continue to keep this one.
This is one person's experience and a GOOD REPORT on computerized machines. I love it!

Please, please, plese...
Don't put WD40 on fine equipment like your sewing mchine. Please.
I am going to have nightmares tonight.
Please.. use sewing machine oil like your user manual tells you, take it in to get 'fixed' when it gets too noisy.
Don't put WD40 on good mechanical machines.
Please.
