THIS machine is powerful, and to-the-point. The right machine for a very good price for my expectations.
Very straightforward machine. If you took home-ec in school, you can use this easily! I have owned "computerized" or digital machines in the past; they make me crazy trying to micro-manage my creativity! THIS machine is powerful, and to-the-point. Manual adjustment of stitch tension, length, and style. That's it. Pick your needle according to fabric weight, choose the right thread, TEACH yourself how to tension/loosen the stitches on scrap fabric that matches the fabric for your project, and the machine reliably and strongly does what you've asked.
I am just a "hobby" / mending / personal alterations type sewer, but I wanted to be SURE that when I went to hem some jeans or patch a heavy coat that I would not be stuck with a wimpy machine struggling to punch through many layers of sturdy fabric. This machine has delivered.
As for the "reconditioned" designation, the machine I received was COMPLETE with everything it originally came with, original instruction manual, in original box, and in all ways appeared and works like a NEW machine.
I have not been compensated in any way to write this up; I just give credit where credit is due and this is the right machine for a very good price for my expectations.
