I have a Kenmore my husband bought about 7 years ago (before he was my husband) and it is my go-to machine. I love it. I have a Singer but I don't use it really. I just bought a Finness off of Craigslist about 3 months ago. Very simple but it purrs. It is so quiet I can sew when everyone is asleep and no one even knows I'm up. My mom has has her Kenmore for over 30 years and it still works as good as new.
