This is probably not what you're looking for...but I got a Janome "Sew-Mini" in June. It's 5 pounds, very small, noisy, no light, and has only one foot. But it is a great sewing machine to cart to guild meetings and when traveling. I love it for what it is...a good little lightweight 'traveling' machine.

I had a Brother sewing machine that lasted me 6 years. Probably would have lasted longer, but either was dropped or something fell on it during it's summer journey to see grands. I replaced it with a higher end Brother, and am pleased with that so far.

I also have a Goodwill machine - a Janome New Home that is probably 30 - 40+ years old. All I've done to get it to work was clean and oil it. It's a tough, old mechanized machine and I truly enjoy sewing on it.

I don't think you can go wrong with a Janome, but Brother is a good machine, too.
