I have the Duetta, I have had mine about 4 years. I love my machine, I also have the quilting upgrade too. I have embroidered,quilted and made lots of things on this machine. I have never had any trouble out of it either. It has 4 hoops with it. I use the 5x7 and 7x12 the most. It is very user friendly and I love that I can wind a bobbin while I a I'm sewing. It also beeps and stops when your bobbin is low. Good luck on your decision, You can check out other machines for that price and compare them to what they do, and what you want to do.
