I have a Janome HD3000 that's fantastic and also a Janome 2222, both are great!

I recommend the 2222 over some of the lower model Janomes cause you get a one step buttonhole and it's a great beginner machine with a nice big throat on it. you can get one on Amazon for $230. there's a Janome 2212 but it is $218 usually and you have a 4 step buttonhole with it and fewer stitches so the extra few bucks is well worth it.

I love my HD3000, it's what I use to make bags, it has a one step buttonhole too but what I love is that the foot can be pulled up extra high, I've made so many bags with my HD3000, however it's $530 now and you can buy a lot of sewing supplies with that $300 difference!
