I have 4 computerized sewing machines. The pc boards have went out on 3 of them twice. The cost to replace the boards are very expensive. But my vintage all metal machines just keep on going. I love the old Kenmore machines with the cams, the 401-500 series Singers. The Singer machines in the 401-500 do not take a belt, they are gear driven. Most have 3 needle positions, zig zag, cams, or builit in stitches, & drop feed dogs. A walking foot is easy to use on these machines. I guess it's everyones' own preference.

I keep a real close check on my machine. My brush is always handy. Clean, clean, clean. Some threads have more lint than others . I usually always use cotton, unless I am embroidering. After a project I always take my race, shuttle, bobbin case, etc. out and clean everything.

Kenmore doesn't make anything. Sears contracts out to vendors and whomever has the best price is awarded the contract. This goes for everything with the Kenmore label. That is why the quality isn't what it used to be, because the vendors change.
