I have one. I would buy another one in a heartbeat. The only problem I had was the thread cutter un threading the needle every time I used it. I solved the problem by not threading the three hole bar at the top, just use the far right hole as a thread guide. That bar is there to add tension to the thread if more is needed. It took me forever to learn to use the auto needle threader. It's awkward but works every time now that I figured it out. I have taken the housing and bottom off the machine and it's easy to clean and inspect. Do not leave a spool of thread on the bobbin spindle. The loose end will start wrapping around the fly wheel and you won't notice it. Took me hours to unwind the thread very slowly. I've learned not to take the fly wheel end off. It's too tedious to get back in place. I oil it a lot. Be sure and use machine oil as machine oil is made to evaporate and not stay and get sticky and mess up the works. That's why machines have to be oiled a lot, the oil evaporates.
