I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

I recommend starting a friendship with a detailed study of the instruction manual, since the machine is very capricious in setting up for sewing, like all seamstresses. Master each action step by step, stock up on time, patience and a sufficient amount of junk fabric and thread. Before sewing each fabric, be sure to adjust the tension - for this, the corresponding sections of the instructions will help. Otherwise, there is a risk of damaging the product.
In general, the machine is controlled intuitively in most cases.
Pay attention to which foot the machine recommends for sewing. There are letter markings on the paws, otherwise you will be tormented to look for the reason why a "beard" suddenly formed from the bottom of the line.
There is no foot for a hidden zipper in the kit, you will have to buy it in addition, as well as a device for edging with an oblique trim.
From the point of view of ergonomics, the machine is perfectly worked out and made very soundly. The plastic is strong enough, the machine itself is balanced, the weight allows it to be very stable and not jump when sewing.
I can conclude that I am satisfied with the purchase. She expanded my creativity!

Pros

Large selection of decorative stitches, some have the ability to reposition and stretch. Four types of fonts, including one 2022. Automatic needle threader, automatic thread cutter. Optional standard thread cutter. Lots of feet included - 13 pieces, including top feed, free-motion quilting foot and the ability to turn off the bottom feed. Adjustment of sewing speed, sewing with and without a pedal. Positioning of the needle in the extreme upper and extreme lower position. The machine does not need lubrication, only cleaning. LED lightening. Automatic bobbin winder. It sews almost silently. Large side table, which is very convenient to use. Sleeve platform, storage compartments for equipment and instructions both on the machine itself and on a luxurious plastic case. The most frequent lines are made by separate buttons on the case. The set includes two different guides for parallel seams. 13(!) types of loops! Very very detailed and clear instructions. There is a foot for sewing on a thin cord.

Cons

Very tricky to set up. Decorative stitches should be sewn at a low speed, ideally without a pedal, otherwise it skips some elements of the stitch. Requires balancing decorative stitches, the regulator of which is located on the bottom of the machine, on its sole. He asks for "native" needles and bobbins, although I think that other manufacturers will also do, if only there was a fundamentally identical construct. Not all separately sold paws are suitable, it is necessary to select.
