They're not an authorized Brother dealer (I found out when my serger died about 3 months after purchase). Also, buying from Amazon voids the warranty.

I bought one based on the Amazon reviews which were pretty good. It has skipped time on me twice (this is when the gears get out of alignment). Repair of that costs almost as much as the machine itself. The second time, I just sat it in a corner and haven't used it since. Another cheap Brother owner here.

In fact, I have sewn things by hand to avoid using it. (I also once kidnapped my mom's Bernina for 2 months - now that is a machine I wish I could afford!)
