HEAVY is what first comes to my mind. You can treadle them in a Singer cabinet, but you may have to make modifications to the hinge pins. Some folks love to use them for FMQ and prefer the Necchi over a Singer.
This is a Necchi VN that is a zigzag machine and straight stitch only.

A quote taken from a site that folks review their likes and dislikes on machines.
" The easy-to-spot differences between this model (BU) and its successor, the BU Nova, are the VN (for Vittorio Necchi) logo on the machine bed, and the plain chrome face of the tension assembly"
