They must have changed the model name for this version because I can’t find any sewing.patternreviews.com reviews. However, similar Singer heavy duty machines are usually decently rated. Because they are made to sew through thicker fabrics, I’ve read that similar models do not do well on light weight fabric like chiffon, etc. You can find comparable reviews from experienced sewers here: http://sewing.patternreview.com/cgi-bin/topsearch.pl?search=6&tabletosearch=MachineReview&nofuzzy=1&MasterID=1319&extra=4423&StartDate=&EndDate=
Cannot find this model for review and comparison.
It might have previously been part of a combo.
