Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've only played with the machine for about 20 minutes (will post more once I've had some more time with the machine). Here are some immediate thoughts to consider. There is no storage case for the two screwdrivers, needles and tweezers that come with the machine. The machine cover is basically a fancy garbage bag. The upper knife really has to be pushed hard to then turn the knob. It's awkward to do. I do like the differential feed. It does lack a free arm. This doesn't bother me but some people might have a problem with it. The lower loopers don't appear to be any more difficult to thread than most sergers. Set up appears to be very similar to my 30+ year old Singer serger. The machine itself is bigger/wider than my older serger. Serges beautifully. Sewing is as quiet as any other machine I have. Switching to a rolled hem is a snap. Machine is heavy enough to be sturdy. The internal parts I can see appear to all be metal except for the knob on the cutting width. Update 5/17/16: This thing is more noisy than my older serger from the 80s when going at high speeds. The lower looper is a bit of a challenge to get threaded but it is not impossible. Still serging like a champ. Update 9/8/16: After using this for a few months, I still love it. The tension does manage to shake itself out of whack but it's easy to fix by just adjusting a knob or two. I think it's from the vibration of the machine. Still no major problems with the machine. Very happy with it overall. Update 10/10/18: This thing is a tank. Zero issues at all with the mechanics of it.
