Faulty machine
Bought for my daughter but faulty and never worked. Taken back and the store manager questioned how we had used it, although we didn’t even reach removing the test fabric. They agreed to replace it but when we asked them to test the second machine, there was the same issue with the power. Clearly a manufacturing fault, I would guess with the power supply.

Great for simple projects and crafting.
A good little sewing machine for simple projects. The overall feel of the machine is quite robust even though it is quite light. The light weight means that it's easy to get out and pack away when you need to. It has a tiny foot pedal which again is very light so doesn't always stay in place.

Hopeless!
Came threaded up with piece of fabrc in it, is that nirmal? Tried it out and after 1 second, the thread broke. Spent about 45 mins trying to thread the needle sgain. An ant with a telescope couldn't thread this! I had to remove needle to thread it with threader. Also, i accidentally loosened the presser foot, and after 2 hours, stll cant get it back on! Its going back tomorrow.

Unfit for purpose
I dont think i would buy this even for a child. Not suitable for sewing anything other than light material. Extremely small and quite challenging to mamage as an adult. The pedal is flimsy and not very sensitive. The backward stitch puckers the material. The material catches when it goes through. I wish id retained the box as i would have returned it. I bought it for simple mending jobs on split seams for example and it is absolutely unfit for purpose. The spools which come in the bundle don't fit properly.

Garbage!
Worked for a few months to be fair, but now just doesn't stitch at all! I've tried EVERYTHING to sort and i'm very tempted to throw it out of the window! Garbage!

Don't buy it!
It doesn't work. It's a waste of money.
The needles and thread keeps breaking

A good basic machine.
Good value for the price. Very pleased with the machine apart from the foot peddle which is so lightweight it moves all the time.

Not suitable
This was bought as a Xmas present, haven't used a sewing machine in over 40 years so was quite excited. However, struggled threading the needle, the small lightweight foot pedal kept moving, had problems with skipping stitches so tried changing the needle and the tightening nut fell out. Took it back to the shop. The assistant couldn't get it back in so was offered an exchange or upgrade. Went for an upgrade. Wouldn't recommend this as too fiddly and no room for doing fiddly tasks.
