not sure the price range you're looking at but Babylock makes great machines in a wide range of prices. Janome also has some great machines on the lower price range as well. I bought one for classes (for weight reasons) and only paid $150 for it....it's a little workhorse for a mechanical machine. I've had it for 3 years now and it's runs like a dream.

Yes, I have this one and LOVE it!! I bought it for a back up machine several years ago and use her all the time.
She sews well with ANY type of thread from metallic to embroidery to cotton, never a problem at all!

I have had 3 Kenmore machines and recently upgraded to the Janome 6600p. My last Kenmore-which has a Janome foot pedal is about 15 years old. I have never had a problem with it. I still use it and it is a computerized machine. I have found it very rare to hear of anyone complaining about these machines.

I also have the 19233; it is a great machine. Not finicky about using different types of threads; easy to maintain; just keep the bobbin are cleaned of lint. Plenty of additional attachments available. Has needle up/down button which I love. I have tried several of the decorative stitches; they work great. I got mine from sears so it was easy to get the extended warranty. Mine's been going for over a year now nonstop and I've had no problems with it. I has my reconsidering my old wants of owning a nice Viking embroidery machine to getting one from Janome since this kenmore/janome works so great. You should go to sears and check it out. I would definitely buy this one again.

I don't have that one; but think very highly of Kenmore machines. I have my older one that I will not part with and it has never been in need of any repair. My friend also won't part with her Kenmore that she bought just last year even though she has 3 others lol.

vintage for me - Singer 403 for me - sold the Janome - the slant needle is so much easier to see what I am doing. It does the same stitches and no plastic - no electronics - I can repair it myself if something goes wrong
