I have had my Bernina 830 LE for a year now and have never regretted it for one moment. In fact almost every time I sit down to sew on Ruby, I say a little word of thanks for the wonderful man in my life that got it for my birthday despite my protesting that it was an insane amount of money to spend on a sewing machine..lol...guess I must be insane, cause I love it to pieces!!!
