Did you check Amazon reviews? Here's a link:

overstock.com sometimes has machines and reviews too.

I have a Viking...wouldn't think about another machine.

I have a Bernina but want to buy a back-up machine. I'm not going to buy another Bernina because I want some features that would put me in a TOL Bernina and I am not paying the TOL price for a back-up.

Janome came out with a new machine -the 6300- that has everything I want. No embroidery, a larger throat, bobbin warning, knee lift, thread cutter, needle up/down, etc. Check it out - it might suit your needs too.

Good luck with the search.

I have a Viking Sapphire 830 with an 11" throat, had her for 4 years now. Just bought a BabyLock Quest 2. Both have their pluses, Both are excellent machines. I sew daily and FMQ a lot and need machines that can handle the constant use. I am not much for the embroidery...
