Quiet, good price, free shipping and originally sold for $1500. I also have a Janome 5000 embroidery and a 10000 does everything machine. Love Janome!
I bought a 4000 when they first came out ($1000) and it's still a workhorse. I have a 6600 as my main machine and a 760 for classes/retreats. No problem with my Janomes.
