Have you seen it in person? The hand wheel is chrome plastic and looks incredibly cheesy. It only has 24 stitch selections and is the same as one of the Singer Curvy line of machines. It also is missing a key feature of 'needle down'. It is a very base model machine all dressed up to look fancy. For the 399.00 to 599.00 price tag I have seen online, you can do a lot better for your money
