Or, are you asking my source for my thought that no company would purposely sell inferior product at one outlet...namely Walmart, and not inform possible purchasers of the fact that the product is "not new"? I do think there are laws against such selling practices, and I really don't think Walmart wants to be branded with that black mark, not to mention the legal retribution that might be attached......
and as you stated...your purchase was identified as refurbished...and I think that would be the norm, no matter who the seller is.

I had this machine for my travel machine and for the most part loved it! The only thing I didn't like was that t he needle was left homing. If I had a straight stitch foot on the machine and forgot to center the needle when I turned it on, I would break a needle when I started sewing. But if you are not one to use a straight stitch foot and use the foot that came with the machine, it would be a great back up. Be aware the harp space is small, also. That said, I sewed a lot of quilts and bags on mine!

I had the CS 6000i, loved it! Fast & quiet, did very well, I don't have it anymore because a granddaughter also loved it so I gave it to her.
I used it for a backup & travel/class/Stitch Camp machine. No problems at all but I do recommend putting it on rubberized shelf lining because it is lightweight that stops it from moving around.
I also have a couple of other Brother machines from big box stores that I keep at my daughters' who live out of state, when I visit I have reliable machines to use. I also use Brother TOL's as main machines in my home, love them all.
Several years ago I wrote to Brother Co asking if machines in the discount stores & machines at dealers that were similar had any differences internally with the mechanisms-they replied in writing, that no, there is no difference.
