Pros: Inexpensive, ease of use, workhorse.
Cons: Small design area   4x4 only.

I bought this little gem five years ago.  Used it on occasion and loved it.  Now that I am  semiretired, well the little gem is a workhorse.  I sew a lot and always can find freebies online to embroider on what I make.
I use the Smart Box with it.  They make a great team.  I have saved over 3,000 designs on my pc and it does a wonderful job stitching them out on whatever project I try.
I would recommend it to anyone starting out new to machine embroidery.  I would also recommend it to the seasoned sewer.  I have been sewing since I was 17 and it makes me happy to use it.  Try all the neat built in designs to get a feel of what its all about then your bound to continue on to bigger projects.
Just a little after thought.  I happened to be at the right place at the right time.  It was the floor model on clearance and I got it for a steal.
