I,ve got the DC 2010 and believe me--I have put it through a lot of things since I got it. I have not had any problems with it except for the foot pedal and the dealer was right there to fix te problem.--Even gave me another foot pdal till He esolved the problem.
If I had to get another machine it would be another Janome.
I have even quilted a queen size quilt with mine--takes some doing -but i get it done.
