I have had my machine serviced at the local repair shop and they have not said anything about it being different than other Vikings.
Joann's also carries Singer in the same dept. I dont know about those machines.
Viking machines sold at JoAnn's are not sold by JoAnn's. They are sold by an authorized Viking dealer leasing space in the JoAnn's store. I too have purchased 2 Viking machines at JoAnn's this way.
