I have one and I do not care for it at all. I find it awkward and heavy to lift in and out of the back of my SUV. I prefer to just carry my machine in its hard case. However, the only place I take my machine is to the LQS and there is ample parking right by the door into the classroom so I do not have to carry it very far. I guess it just depends on how far you need to carry your machine.
