Default Sewing Machines (of the non vintage/antique variety)

Not sure if there's a thread like this already but I just wanted some opinions and reviews and thought that it would be nice to have a general thread for folks to post and chat about their machines.

So hers my story. A friend of mine gifted me a Brother LS 1216 (or something close to that number). It's just a basic strait stitch, when I informed her I wanted to learn to sew. Ever since I owned it it has given me issue after issue with the bobbin. Won't feed the bobbin thread and more recently it spit the whole bobbin casing out at me after sewing up an entire project! So another friend took a look at it and said its probably to due with the tension. (I thought it might be a timing issue)

In the meanwhile she lent me her Brother XR6060. I had wanted a machine that could do a little more then a straight stitch. I'm trying to fix my mothers old touch and sew 758 for that reason but it's being a lot more difficult then expected. So today I set up the Brother and ran it through some test stitchs and Im kind of in love with the machine! It's so light compared to my other brother!

I just wanted to see if anyone else had any experience with this machine? (but feel free to post pics and reviews of your other machines too!
