I have a Pfaff that I have had for about 22 years. It still works great. I have never had any major problems with it just needs cleaned and oiled occasionally. I also have a Janome Horizon which I got a few months ago. It has the 11" harp which is really great for free motion quilting. It has a lot of nice features I love. the new Pfaff has most of these features, as well. The Janome is my primary machine but I still use the Pfaff to take to quilt group.
