Review on Sewing machine Janome 423S / 5522, white-blue by Gabriela Gutowska ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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 accessories for the machine. Very satisfied with the purchase

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.
