I have used the one that comes with my Brother. It does work but as she said , you don't have the extrs strength you get with a serger. If your goal is just to finish the seams it will do what you want. I do have a serger that got quite a workout when i was sewing for my family. If you just need it occasionally the sidecutter should fill that need at a reasonable price.
The only complaint i had was that it didn't cut as smooth as my serger, that could have been the fabric or the blade.
