I have a Singer 20u industrial machine I bought in 1984 and I have never had any trouble with it. It's not fancy it does zigzag, but that's about it. I can't even begin to imagine how many "miles" I have on it

I have the 1222E and 2040. My Pfaff dealer just doesn't understand why I like the older Pfaffs better, he keeps trying to convince me that I need a new one rather than keeping the two I have now.

I have a number of 'old' singers and I love them all.. However I had a Touch and Sew (I think).. it had a gold colored front panel that I bought new in about 1969 or so.. It was fine for most things, but I was making men's custom silk and wool suits and that crazy machine would not top stitch down the lapel and front of a jacket. Wouldn't make buttonholes for me.. I wanted to throw it in the street! I traded it in for a Bernina 830 and I have never had another problem with a machine. My old Singers sew perfectly, I don't think I'd bother with newer ones. Just my experience, I'm sure millions have bought Singers and are fine with them.

I bought my first Singer in 1962. I loved it and wanted to get it repaired but the Singer repairman said they no longer made the bobin case which was the problem. I bought another Singer and I liked it but it didn't last nearly aslong. I did use it a lot. Anyway I went back to the Singer shop to trade it in and they no longer handle Singer because they told me another company bought them out (name and all) and it is no longer made like the old ones and they didn't want to handle them.

I have a Kenmore from Sears. Singer and Kenmore are from the same manufacture.(I was told) I have had mine for 4 years and love it! Even if it is just a simple portable sewing machine. You might want to look into Kenmore, but I would go to Sears.com, The Sears store iin Lafayette,IN. doesn't carry them in the store. Or they might have one on display.
