I got rid of one and have another one to get rid of. I'm not all that impressed with the one I have - the bobbin loads on the back - very hard to do even for my small hand. It sews a nice stitch. I think I like the long stitch length. I'm thinking it has plastic gears that could break. Mine is called Favorit - I think my favorite is a 403...
