I have a bernina 1008 (very "vanilla" machine but it works well for basic stitching). I just traded in a Janome Memory Craft 200 and purchased a "gently used" Janome 11000. It has embroidery, sewing and quilting capabilities. I got it for a steal and I'm thrilled with it

A LOT! 9- 221"s including a centennial, a red s, one of the first 1933 edition, one of the first run after WW2, and a rare 1939 with the decal on the arm vs light. All my 221 machines are in near perfect condition. 1- 201, 2- 15-91, 1- 401, 1-301, 1- 500, 1- 127 (AllSinger), 1 Brother vX 970, 1 Brother innovis 1250D embroidery machine, 1 Brother Nouvelle 1500s quilting machine, 1 Pfaff serger. Have all I want and no I don't want anthing other than these. In fact I need to downsize my collection.

I wish Bernina wouldn't renumber their machines. I have a Bernina 830 - before the electronic ones. It's over 20 years old. I'd like to upgrade to a Janome MC 6500, 6600, or Horizon. I'm afraid to look at the prices, or even the higher models of Bernina.

I have a 40 year old Kenmore, still working and two Bernina's 180 and 440.

I have a Bernina Artista 200. It is about 10 years old. It was my "dream machine". I also have a Singer Featherweight. I love both machines. I would like a Bernina 830; but at my age, I do not think I really need it.

That is the very reason to buy it!! You deserve it! Might as well enjoy life. Of course the main disadvantage of that machine is the price, so it is a matter of what your budget can handle. When I was working I kept putting money in a sewing machine savings account for years that was just for me for whatever TOL machine I wanted for my 70th birthday. So I bought myself the Brother Quattro (first the Duetta then traded it in for the Quattro less than a year later)
Everyone falls in love with different machines, the Bernina 830 had also just been released, was so very tempting but I loved the Quattro more.

I have a Bernina Activa 230 Patchwork Edition - It is a great machine. I have had it for just over a year and I love it. My techie self wants to upgrade to another machine but my budget says no way.
