I had a Singer 25U industrial machine....I loved it! It would sew thru denim & quilts easily. There was a lot of throat space, so I could do very large projects easily. I bought it used from a retired upholsterer/ drapery maker. It had a 2 cycle motor also, but it was maintainence (sp?) free...I didn't have to oil it. It really didn't take long to learn how to use it....you can get used to the speed just like on any other electric machine. I sold it for $385.00 back in 2009 because I moved & had no room for it in my new place. I miss using it! But...it was super heavy! Not all that easy to move around. The table was probably 5-6 feet long. The only con I had was getting it serviced regularly. Too heavy to take anywhere without disconnecting the head. I was fortunate...I found a semi-retired singer service / repairman who loved doing house calls. Lucky me!
anyway... good luck & test it first!
