Echoing all the praise for Brother and Janome. I have one of each in that price range. (Actually bought two Brothers--one mechanical for $30 --the seller had used it once and sewing wasn't her thing-- local online yard sale find--and the other I bought was electronic and only $75 -- brand new!--at a yard sale. I ended up giving the electronic one to my DIL as a Christmas present and she loves it. Lots of fancy stitches she uses on baby gifts and home dec stuff.
My go-to brand is Janome, which I've upgraded because of the 11" harp space, but I took my mechanical Brother to my sister's in KY and purposely left it there for when I visit again.
