I don't want to sound like a commercial but I have 7 Brother machines & love them all-from low end from a big box store to TOL Quattro & in between, some were inexpensive 2nd hand machines. They are all user friendly, even the TOL. Even my granddaughters (now 8 & 12) love them & have used them without problems for several years. The 8 yr old has proclaimed the 2002D as hers-she loves that machine.The 12 yr old loves the Quattro & does a lot of embroidering on it.
Why so I have so many, beside the fact I'm addicted to sewing machines? My children all live in different parts of the country, so I have to keep a machine at 2 of their homes for when I visit & I like a lightweight machine for travel & classes.
