Lightweight machine to travel?

Lightweight machine to travel?
I am wondering what type of sewing machine people travel with to sewing circles or quilt shops. I have a New Home 8000, a Viking Emerald 118, and a Janome 12000. I am not thrilled with the idea of lugging any of these down the second floor and into the car. I think I would consider attending a class or a retreat if I had a lightweight. I love my machines and do not want to spend anymore than $200- really would like to spend only $100 or less. I welcome some guidance on this question. What do you travel?

I love my Project Runway little Brother. He does everything I ask him to do and weighs very little. He has a rough life and is often pushed to the limit but never fails to perform. You should be able to get him for around $135.00.

I will check out the brother machines. I am a bit concerned no let's say I have no knowledge of featherweights. I see pictures posted on the board of vintage singer sewing machines and wonder if those are the featherweights ?
Some are very pretty and some look as though they need to see an electrician and a degree in engineering when it comes to threading, winding the bobbin , and setting the tensions.
