Please tell me more about this battery operated machine. I would love to get one for my granddaughter! Also it would be good camping here in Maine. We have a popup camper with electricity etc etc

I bought my granddaughter a battery operated machine that we take camping. We rustic camp so no electricity for us. I paid $20.00 for it and it sews great, It is just a little thing but she likes to sew and I can even get in a few things while we are there. It is the first one in this picture.

Here is one similar to the one I purchased. This one is even cheaper and it says double thread so it is a lock stitch.
The one I bought I found at Rite Aid at christmas time.

I have 2 sewing machines, I have one that I take if I go to my quilting classes at the senior center and I also take it camping with me... You never know if it rain while camping I can alway do my quilting after I have my DH take me to the LQS.
