The ONLY reason I'm interested in the one I posted is that there are 5 of them and it looks like 4 of them haven't been out of their boxes. No jacking around.
Pfaff, Janome and Brother are the main machines that I service. I've never had one of those "Smarter by Pfaff" machines on my bench though. The reviews are mixed. Most issues seem minor and that they get fixed other than the one that said it was "un-fixable". I'm wondering if it's the same as the Bernette machines...
