I have never used a Bernina so I can't compare, but I love my Janomes. I have a Magnolia 7330 to take with me when I go somewhere to sew and I have a Janome 6600. I am very glad that I bought my 6600. The only problem that I have had is a blown fuse on the 6600. The dealer replaced it for free.. so that made it no problem at all
