Thoughts on the Singer 2662?
I started with a Janome Sew Mini, but have finally asked too much of it and messed it up mechanically. For the time being, there is a singer 2662 available on the local market, but online reviews have seemed... mixed. What are your thoughts?

I wouldn't bother with the Singer either. The new ones are pretty much pieces of junk. Sewing Machines Plus online appears to ship to all parts of Alaska and they carry a good variety of machines at reasonable prices.

Go with the Singer 2662. Yes, the Singers of today aren't made as well as they used to be, but I'm sure the machine will be just fine.

I bought a modern Singer several years ago. It only lasted me ten projects. Now it's a door stop. After that experience, I switched to vintage machines only. I have never paid more then $100 for a vintage machine and I know they won't fail me.
Since you are in Alaska, does Amazon ship to you? Maybe you could get a simple Brother machine for the same price as the local Singer 2662? Brother makes very good machines. Walmart generally carries Brothers too.
