I have a Kenmore from Sears for over 25 years. I brought it in for service last week for the very first time as I thought it wasn't running correctly and all that was needed was a cleaning and oiling. ($62.00) I originally bought the machine to make clothing but now use it for quilting. You could check on-line at Sears. I sure their basic model is affordable plus if anything happens Sears is always there. Good luck
