I believe there are two model 830 Bernina's. One is the older mechanical one that many people would love to own, and then there is the newer 830 that does everything but make your coffee. My guess is that you have bought the bells & whistles newer one.
Some people never bond with a new machine, and some don't try very hard. If you bought this new machine from a dealer, ask about classes and learn everything about it that you can. Discuss your reservations with the seller and let them "prove it". I've even been offered classes at a nominal fee for a machine I'd had for years and bought elsewhere. Meanwhile, sew, sew, sew.
