I've had my Viking for 14 years now ( wow, time flies) I have other machines but 99% of the time use my Viking. Bought the embroidery module with it so it does everything I could want a machine to do. I love that machine and am ( spoiled) by some of its features. The dealer/ customer service is great too. I had a whole week of free new owners classes when I bought it so I learned how to use each foot, stitch, feature it had to offer.
