I purchased a Janome 6600P a little over a year ago. It does have all the bells and whistles. I have had some trouble with mine. I just think I got a lemon because all I hear are good things about them. I live in a remote area and I have had trouble getting good service on the problems I have had. I contacted Janome and they didn't really care that I had been given poor service. When it is working I love it, but like I said I think I just got a lemon and poor service. I don't think you would have problems with one, but I think people should know that Janome does not stand behind their product or service.

If you can find a used Memorycraft 3000, that machine is a work horse and one of the first computerized machines that Janome made. I've had mine for over 20 years and not a lick of problems with it.

I recently saw really nice looking brother machines at WalMart. JoAnne's is also selling very budget machines. A friend of mine bought a brother from Costco. It had a strange threading mechanism but sewed like a charm and lasted years!

I have a lightweight Janome that I take to class and it is great. Also have used DIL's Janome - an older model- when visiting. My other machines are all Vikings with lots of bells and whistles. I think Janome's are great value for the money!
