Need info about the gray Janome 8900
I知 looking for information about the Janome 8900 in gray. I was wondering anyone knows when the gray one was no longer available? Janome came out with a blue 8900 that was improved over the gray 8900.
I bought a gray one over the weekend and I知 trying to figure out how old it is. Also, can anyone tell me how to look up how many hours use it痴 had?

I have the "red" one. I think at that time they were also selling "grey". Seems like the colors were limited editions in that year/model, but I don't think the machines themselves are actually different. I bought mine in 2015. On sale. I think it may have been a 2014 model, hence the trying to get rid on them sale.

The light blue is indeed a slightly different/more featured machine - easy-set bobbin, acu-flex, different needle plates, and I think different lighting.
