UPDATE: after over 2 years of use, I can say that this is perfect for most small, home-sewing needs as well as for beginners looking to learn sewing, but not if you are a professional, or even an adventurous hobbyist. The biggest con I can find so far is that it is not suitable for sewing thicker than average fabric like thick cotton or denim, or delicate fabrics like satin, because the pressure foot cannot be controlled. Aside from that, it's great, and I haven't had to change any of the factory settings so far while working on cotton, rayon and some polyester mix fabrics. Works perfectly for mending jobs with common cotton or polyester clothes. I have also been able to use this to sew decorative edges on paper journal softcovers and pages without any problems.*********************************************Comes with clear instruction manual. All accessories mentioned in description were provided.Will update review after a few months of use.Fairly small and light, portable. Comes with a light near the needle that makes it easier to see the work as we stitch. Thread cutter provided on the side is nifty. Has all the basic stitches and presser feet (general purpose, hem, zipper and button) you'd need for mending and basic dressmaking/hobby sewing. Includes a plastic darning plate that can be attached for darning as well as freehand embroidery (a darning or embroidery foot, not provided, will make the job easier). Foot pedal is easy to use, and stitch speed maxes out at a reasonable, manageable level. Cable length too short for my liking.It's perfect for beginners, comes out of the box with factory set tension settings (both upper and bobbin) that worked right away on cotton, thin silk, and thicker rayon seams. Darning and zigzag will need the tension to be slightly lower than factory setting, but the instruction manual is very clear on recommended settings for different scenarios.Currently own an old mechanical singer machine (what I will still primarily use), can concur with reviews below pointing out that service is generally poor, but product quality is amazing PROVIDED all instructions on maintenance are followed to a T.Hope this one's quality is just as good as some of their decades old models, will update review after longer use.

My first impression, it is light and compact. Convenient when shifting residence or moving to another city.Don't let this get you you. Its a toy. I bought in June 2023.I've been sewing personal clothing. Today i sewed my first kurta and it troubled the whole day long of pulling the cloth in the plate. I called the customer care they asked me to open the plate below the needle and clean it. I did. But my issue was not resolved. I changed needles from 14-16-18, for sewing cotton batik. It gave big stitch marks and capacity to sew on 2 layer cloth is hopeless. Now everything we sew will have layers. Sometimes maybe a lace. The moment the density of the cloth rises the machine starts pulling the cloth in, crumpling it, clusters of thread will collect. I am scared to sew curtains or pillow covers, the machine cannot take the load.Its maintenance is expensive. The technician will come @550 for every visit.The demo technicians will not show the entire demo in one session and if you buy from Amazon there is no second demo.I have a lot of sewing experience. Best is to buy our traditional tailor models. Though big in size and needs space, they are worth the investment.This was a waste of money.Add on :So finally i managed for a technician to come and check the damage1. He informed me that if you intend to do jeans work, a setting needs to be done. This was not informed or adjusted on the demo visit and an internal part got damaged - though i has shown him that i intend to do jeans on it.The technician refused to replace it, just rubbed it with sand paper and says it is fixed.I was not charged for the technician visit.since it is in 2 years warranty.But the call centre guy told it will be charged ₹550 per visit.I am not happy with this unit and their after sales service.

It is good project can be effectively used for domestic use.

I have bought this for hobby sewing and small alterations that I can do at home rather running around for tailors. I found the machine ease to use. The instructions on the manual are clear.I quality of stitch is very good, and it has variety of stitches built in from which you can select, they serve most of the needs for hobby work.The bobbin changing is very easy, the mechanism provided to thread the bobbin is also easy to use, and helps stitch things faster.The quality of the build is good, and its heavy enough to stay stable on the table. The electric pedal is responsive and smooth.Initially I broke few needles and that was due to heavy clothes or wrong stitching, but they have provided some spare needles which saved my time from going to market again. In one or two instances my needle got bent, and I don't know how it happened, I had to replace the needle.I also faced some issue with threads getting stuck, and even needle getting stuck inside bobbin case, I had some hard time getting it removed.I have been using it carefully since then, and I did not face any issue.I would surely recommend anyone looking for a hobby sewing to go for this.

Should have given thread ,scissors etc
