I am considering to buy one when it becomes available at my local Ikea ONLY IF it is similar in construction & durable as my other present ones. I use & own 2 of those "plastic" sewing machines. They are both from Janome & retailed for about 100 dollars each. Remember the most important thing about those "plastic" ones. Do not be so "hung up" on the outer plastic casing. That is mostly for decoration and covering the innards. The most important is the innards attached to a metal frame within that plastic outer casing. If they are made up of mostly durable metal with minimal plastic, I buy. Otherwise I pass.

The oscillating hook is a important hint to it's make up (probably a metal one). I behooves me and adds a bit more incentive to examine & explore the machine a bit further whenever it arrives at my local Ikea.
