Review on Sewing machine Janome 5500, white-green by Barbara Przybysz ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I like the product very much, fully consistent with my expectations.

Great machine in its price range! :-) Pros: For 3,220 (I bought a typewriter on August 29, 2022) it’s simply not serious to find fault with anything . :-) The seams are even, the straight line does not irritate with a drift to the side (my small Juki HZL 12z was capricious on a straight line, I had to suffer with needles , nothing particularly annoying happened to Janome. straight stitching is really very decent, if that matters to someone). The maximum stitch width is 5 mm, but the double needle Schmetz 6 mm fits perfectly on a straight line, the seam is excellent :-) ) . I don’t know how it is for anyone, but a basic set of 14 lines is enough for my eyes. The machine is not capricious (however, it has not yet been tested on very thick fabrics), rather weighty (which is also not bad, it does not jump and there is hope for the presence of metal inside this plastic carcass). Cons below: Expectations, taking into account the price, justified everything and at least twice :-) I will sew a cover, I will replace the stupid plastic paw holder with a decent steel one and I will enjoy the home use of the unit (although what is already there, and with a stupid paw holder it sews well . It's just confusing.) Asking for automatic threading and a side thread cutter is again not entirely justified, given the price . :-)
