I have had mine since last Monday. Once I found out it had a rotary hook I placed the order. It is a quiet running machine. My husband usually lets me know he can hear my machines running but he hasn't said a word. I am trying to get 2 quilts finished before I start another one and this machine is making the quilting part SO much easier because of the larger throat. I'm not killing my back and shoulder muscles trying to jam the quilt through a 6 inch opening. You will like it. If I had to come up with an issue it would be that the needle down isn't a needle up/down. If you have the needle set to remain down when the machine stops you have to turn the hand wheel to raise the needle - unless you are using the thread cutter. It is not a deal breaker. No machine is perfect - but this one comes darned close for quilting!
