Type of review

Great machine with good value for money. Easy to use, with useful features without overpaying for them. Reliably and qualitatively made, for three years of work did not break. With its pros: Build quality - a combination of ceramics and metal in the working part of the machine. The vertical arrangement of the shuttle "the old fashioned way", for those who are used to Soviet cars. Smoothly starts and stops. Without pulling the fabric and thread. Gives out a smooth straight seam without wobbling…

I'm only 12 years old, but I'm good at sewing. I experiment every day! It is very interesting! Now everyone wants iPhones and tablets, but I really like to sew! I sewed until 12 at night on the first day of receipt! I sewed a bunch of pockets and an apron. I read the instructions and try. Maybe many people get married, but I advise everyone! Not much expensive (7,300 thousand) We bought in St. Petersburg, we didn’t order via the Internet, a sewing machine, an individual thing, we must try DO…

Pros
  • Excellent Model! Many different seams, hard case, detailed instructions, good quality of the seam, easy filling of the sewing machine, needle threader (very convenient!), many paws!
Cons
  • A bit noisy, but I don't know, I have nothing to compare with. It didn’t work with the loops . But then I found the reason. Check the bobbin compartment, threads can get stuck there, after this cleaning everything works with a bang!

Nice price, good quality.

I've been using it for 5 years, not as often as I would like. But I can say for sure - he clearly wants repairs, I feel that the gear rack is pressing too hard on the foot, this leaves traces on thin fabric. Therefore, I don’t sew anything serious on it until I show it to the master. Different pros: It sews any fabric, more than once it was saved by an additional raising of the foot and a nozzle for threading the needle. The pedal is obedient, there is where to put the bobbins and threads. Has…

The best thing for the money, Im glad I chose this option.

A wonderful machine for the home! It sews everything: leather and artificial leather; I altered the sheepskin coat and made a cape for the stroller for the child; I sewed a lace wedding dress. Everything is fine, but I often sew a lot of speed already (. I bought a machine in 2022, the main thing is proper care. If you are sewing rough fabric or leather, do not forget to choose the right needles ! And also adjust the tension of the fabric! But for light fabrics, needles are required for light…

Pros
  • A large selection of stitches: + semi-automatic buttonhole, buttons can be sewn on. Convenience in hemming jeans, as the sleeve is removed. Sew: - dublek, chiffon, knitwear - an excellent function is fabric tension!
Cons
  • Noisy in sewing, for me it sews slowly, if only more speed!

A great option for this money, I definitely recommend it!

I bought it for myself and ordered another one for my mom as a gift. Excellent value for money. When choosing, I was looking for a machine with a vertical shuttle, the number of operations - from 20, adjustable foot pressure on the fabric (for sewing thick or very thin fabrics), with an automatic buttonhole, overlock, elastic, blind stitch, and heavy - from 7-8 kg , so that the table does not jump at high sewing speed. Janome 5522 satisfies all these requirements. Plus - it's easy to buy…

Pros
  • An excellent machine for beginners, those who sewed at school years ago and do not understand modern sewing machines. I chose for a long time. I've read the forums and lots of reviews. This is the only machine with the set of functions I needed that did not cause serious complaints from users. Vertical shuttle - like in old typewriters. Clear and no difficulties with the tension of the lower thread (they write about horizontal ones that they are more difficult to set up). There is not much noise from it - in the evening, in complete silence in the apartment, you can not hear it in the next room. Adjustment of stitches and choice of lines - well, not the maximum, of course (not 500 pieces), but quite sufficient and pleasant. In my (5522-modelka) there are a little more of them: 22 lines than in 5519). Automatic loop - very convenient! You just need to carefully read the instructions, because for its manufacture you need to find one more device in the machine, which is not striking. Case is hard plastic. There is a hole for the handle of the machine. And the pedal can be put in the same place where it lay when buying - on the work surface. Well, sewing a bag to the pedal is a matter of 5 minutes! Quick change of legs (with one movement the foot is removed, with another - a new one is put on), needle threader, thread cutter - convenient and easy! No problems, but a lot of pleasant emotions from use. The instructions are very clear and informative!
Cons
  • Even with a built-in light bulb, additional lighting is required. there is no overlock foot in the kit - I had to buy it right away.

A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Very satisfied with the purchase! Sewing on it is a pleasure. It also looks nice) I tried non-stretch cotton and jeans in three layers, I'm going to try knitwear, but I think I can handle it (the instructions indicate the settings that need to be set) Pros: Takes different fabrics, incl. multi layer jeans Build quality Large compartment for accessories Informative instruction Not strong vibration and noise compared to others Has some cons: When hemming, jeans did not take a seam folded in three

The quality is top notch, be sure to try it.

The model chose for a long time, read forums, reviews, reviews. I immediately decided on the manufacturer - Janome, but I suffered with the model . I was lucky, I stumbled upon the Vkontakte group, Janome Fan Club, Thank you, the organizers of this group! Thanks to you, I have my favorite assistant 5522! Never worked on an electromechanical machine. The last time I sewed on Chaika was 25 years ago. And on this machine, on the very first evening, I sewed reusable masks for myself and my family…

Pros
  • Heavy! And it's great, because when working with very dense fabrics and at high speed, it stands steadily and does not jump on the table. It sews all types of fabrics thanks to the presser foot pressure regulator on the fabric, 22 lines, automatic buttonhole and much more. The user manual describes all the features in great detail. The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot controller.
Cons
  • so far no flaws found

No minuses as such, comfortable to use.

BUT, trouble happened, it knocked, did not take the lower thread, took me to St. Petersburg (I myself live in the Leningrad Region, since it’s close to 40 minutes by car), there are no such workshops in our city. They called after the diagnosis and said that the repair would cost more than 5 thousand, I was upset, I didn’t even hear how much it was. This includes the shuttle drive gear (I looked it up on the internet - it costs 500-600), cleaning, adjusting the machine. She refused everything…

Pros
  • I sewed everything on my typewriter 423, everything is fine, but of course, who sews a lot, you need to lubricate, select the appropriate needles for fabrics.
Cons
  • I can't say anything bad.

I've been sewing on it for six months. Davolna completely. I took it not even for thick fabrics, but for stitching cardboard - she is a good girl, she stitches everything. But he also sews thin fabrics - what you need. I struggled with the choice for a long time, but I'm just happy that I settled on it. And I really like the design :) Pros: Obedient pedal. Quite heavy - does not jump on the table. Convenient hard case. Convenient threading! Cons: Those that supposedly flaws absolutely do not…

Matches the description completely, very satisfied.

Pros below: I've had this machine for 2 years now! Sews everything from thin to thick! Jeans in 8 additions is easy! Chiffon is easy! Got cons: No! While lubricating and cleaning the platform from dust under the foot, there are no problems!

A nice option for the money, one of the best deals.

A great case for a typewriter, but there is no place for a pedal in it and there is not even a cover for it. And so an excellent choice from the beginning of the mid-range price. They took mine for 6800 in January 2022, Zyy fell in price. Some pros: Quiet operation Sews thick and hard fabrics (Jeans, Canvas, Gunny, Vinyl leather) Good backlight, everything is visible and does not overheat the case Metal case (small vibrations, good stability, if nothing happens if the scabbard or something…

The main thing is to clean it in time and set it up correctly. Do not scold the machine, maybe you are doing something wrong, first check whether everything is configured this way. Its pros: I really liked the machine, they write there is nowhere to remove the pedal, it’s not true, wind up the cord and carefully put it in the center of the machine, close it with your forehead and everything is fine. Many lines, easy to set up, easy to use. After the old typewriter generally super! A hard case…

Has some pros: The line is even, different types of decorative stitches, the pedal is smooth, it is very convenient to adjust and do not need to adjust, great functionality is necessary for sewing! With its cons: A couple of times the thread got stuck in the shuttle, or gave it away, so to speak, on zigzag holes on jeans, I don’t understand why, maybe I didn’t adjust the fit correctly or something else. I do not rule out my fault, time will tell . But I hope that everything will be ok.

I bought this machine 6 years ago and am very happy with the purchase. I don’t know if the “Seagull” sews better (as it is written in one comment), but this machine is very quiet, it does not stop working and the thread does not break at the slightest movement (like the “Seagull”!). Got pros: There are all the necessary seams and more. I am very pleased with the presence of knitted seams (there are several of them) and different paws. For example, a foot for a blind seam, for sewing on zippers,

At first I thought I was doing something wrong. because the machine was jammed and the threads were tangled. it turned out that the bobbin is not held by the presser feet and pops out on the go. I had to rotate the clamps almost 360 degrees under the latches on the shuttle ring. either the clips on the ring are too high, or there are no grooves in the clamps for these clips and therefore they did not hold. Now everything is fine. marriage. I had the impression that someone had already returned…

Pros
  • All the features you need for your home are there.
