Sewnoma there's been a black Brother and a black Singer in recent years. The chief complaint, and it's been pretty consistent from what I've read, is the black is impossible to keep clean. It shows every fingerprint, speck of dust, etc...
much worse than our old iron black machines. on a similar vein, I bought black kitchen appliances a few years back and the stove is a huge pain to keep clean. Every time I wipe it down I have to follow the wet cloth with a dry one or you can see every streak.
