I was looking for a sewing machine for a while, and happened to come across this refurbished unit on Gold Box sale. Needless to say with any Gold Box deal, the price was more than decent. I took a chance and bought it. To my surprise, the unit that I received was like new. It could definitely pass as new. I couldn't find a single flaw in it. No blemish, all accessories, and full warranty. I immediately tried out many of the basic functions and stitches. They all work. I am very happy with this purchase, and the Gold Box price was hard to beat.

Purchased on Gold Box Deal. Works great. Found defect in screen (1/8 x 1/4 whiter area) does not effect sewing. Shows up in white box around default setting for stitch length. Not really a big deal for this deal!!! Did notice dog feet tend to pull material to left for some reason. I Need to hold material straight. Previous machine my dog feet were worn down to smooth, so it is a big improvement. Tried twin needles and found type(brand) of thread is a big deal. Some thread tended to tangle before needle. No problems with other stitches. Would definitely buy again!!!

I'm writing this review on behalf of my teenage daughter who said she needed a sewing machine for school home economics class. This model was similar enough in nature to the one she had been using at school to where there wasn't much of a learning curve. I purchased this as a refurb unit and cannot see anything that would make me think that this wasn't a brand new product at about half the retail cost! I don't know how this would hold up with frequent, heavy usage but for our needs it was a great purchase. I also purchased a plastic carry case through another retailer to keep the unit stored in. I would highly recommend this particular unit (based on daughter's comments) for the purpose with which we purchased it.

This sewing machine is better than fantastic. It has far more options than one can imagine and makes sewing more fun, including creativity and professional results. Amazon.com provided an excellent remanufactured product in a "new, out of the box" condition. Their price was very affordable and I received the sewing machine with a fast turnaround from date of purchase to the delivery date. As with many previous purchases, I am extremely pleased with my numerous purchases.

I only have one concern. The machine was advertised to include the dust cover, whick did not arrive in the shipment. I have not received a response to the email requesting the omitted cover.

Overall, I am very happy with the machine and will continue to buy from Amazon.com.
