I bought the Eversewn Sparrow 25. It was too tempting to pass up for the price. I have been using it since I bought it. It's sews beautifully. I have a 1 Bernina, 2 Jaonmes, Singer Quantum and Featherweight, and 2 Brothers so I know the comparison of them all. It has a metal frame which is the standard of any quality machine. Some of the very expensive machine do not have a frame.
