this is my first sewing machine so I can't compare it to others, but so far it's working really well! I really like the singer app that tells you how to set up the machine to do various types of stitches for different purposes. threading the machine has been pretty easy and so far it's only jammed a few times and it's been easy to fix. the foot pedal is a bit touchy but I think it will get better as I get used to it.

Machine is much louder than other sewing machines. Product was supposed to be new just in a damaged box however needle and bobbin hook timing was off which was not too difficult to address. Then realized the dog feeds and needle timing were off preventing fabric from being pulled through as sewn, which was NOT an easy fix. Had to spend an additional $100 to get the machine “aligned” properly. And it’s still loud when you start sewing. Does not sew at a slow or moderate speed with the pedal - only fast.

I have been using this type of machine Singer/Heavy Duty last 9 years and it is a good machine. It can saw heavy thick materials. But as my previous one got older, it no longer could take thick fabrics and some other minor problems. It needs tune-up but it is not easy to find some person to do the job with reasonable price these days. So I got this open box new machine - which saw great but the position of the needle is too left sided (even i put it on the rightest position or middle) and it is not easy to fix this issue (factory set?). But it saws great so 4 stars.

Hums along. Easy to set up (recommend though that you watch a youtube video on how to do this for this model) and operate. The needle threader device even works. The bobbin threader is simple, but I have had a few problems when I try to wind too quickly. All in all, I am quite pleased. Have used it only for making face masks but think it would be good for other uses. Not sure how it would work with very thick fabric as it often stops when I am going through layers of mask "pleats." Very glad that I didn't get the cheaper Singer models.

I had a regular singer sewing machine earlier. The stitch length of max 4 on this new 4452 singer heavy duty electric seems a little shorter than previous machine but I can get used to it. I will also be using the stretch stitch. New is a walking foot. I have attempted to quilt layers together without that kind of foot. I look forward to trying this walking foot now. I do sew many types of fabrics and look forward to using this 4452 machine on them.
