I am a Pfaff girl, have the 7570 and the 2170,. as stated by the others, they are fantastic and easy machines to use. I have had Babylock and Janome and kenmores - but keep going back to the Pfaff. I also like my 221 featherlite. if you do not use it for embroidery, don't go hi end look into a used 7570 Pfaff. good luck with whatever you choose.
