I bought a cs6000i. its cheaply made, lightweight junk in my opinion..it lasted 3 months then the tension goofed up on it. My repair guy charges $79 to service any machine, this one was only $125. so not much sense in spending the $79 to have it repaired. Another gal here on the group said her sewing group had some of these machines donated to them. They are in the shop more than they are being used to sew. She said she thought they would make good boat anchors! I had a brother I got at walmart for $139 and it lasted over 6 years without a problem. It has the extended table which I liked. I just went to Joanns on Sat and bought a Singer 2520 on sale for $85 and it sews like a charm...good luck..crafty_linda_b
