I have two Juki's - the 98 & the F-600 - I've owned every brand and Juki is by far the strongest and best - that's mho.
I don't know where you heard about that motor shut down on Vikings (can't speak about the others) I have 3 Vikings; one is very old, one a few yrs old and the other one about 6mos. None of them have ever had a motor shut down and I know alot of people who work theirs harder than me and still have never heard of this. I don't know anything about the Juki's or the other machines but my Vikings work hard and never have an issue.
