Everyone I know that has one and brings it to retreats and meetings and so forth, just loves them. I got to sew on one for a few minutes at a retreat and just loved it..been looking ever since. I have been watching Utube videos on oiling and threading and and... oh wait I was supposed to be talking you OUT of one..sorry, I want one too! The only thing holding me back is thinking of how much fabric I could buy with the price of the machine plus service that would need to happen. That's the only thing that keeps me from buying one. Good luck!
