I've read this whole thread and ppl are being put off buying Janome by some of the comments here and that isn't fair. Properly looked after and maintained, it's an excellent machine.
WOW!! That's a little harsh, don't you think? I didn't see any one saying they wouldn't buy Janome. I don't use "cheap supplies", in fact, I too use only Janome bobbins and Aurofil thread. Let's lighten up??
