This is a great starter machine! I got one for my daughter a couple of years ago and was fine. Then something went wrong -operator error no doubt! But she took it back to Costco and took advantage of their hassle free return policy and got a refund. By then the models had changed but she just got the one being sold currently and she felt she got a
