My feeling is, if they lie about one thing they will lie about something else, all for their own benefit. I had a dealer this last week tell me that the Bernina 1008 as a DC motor when, infact it has an AC. I will not be purchasing anything from her...period. Just my own feeling. It's a trust issue.

It's been replaced (if that's what you want to call an upgrade) by the Horizon. Reason being that sites once offering this machine not longer offer it for sale. ------ "Having to squeeze the last drop of utility out of the land has the same desperate finality as having to chop up the furniture to keep warm" -- Aldo Leopold "And no, now that you asked, I didn't enjoy that play one bit!"

The Horizon has been out since 2010 and actually did not replace the 6600P. ------ ~Diana~ ♥ Bernina 830E ♥ Bernina 1150MDA serger ✝The Lord is my Light and my Salvation: whom shall I fear?

Hopefully I will get a straight answer. ------ Janome MC6600 Bernina 240 Juki MO735 Singer 201-2 Singer 221-1 Singer 15-91

It's a great machine, a workhorse, so I hope they make it for a LONG time. ------ Berninas 820 QE, Artista 630 PQE, Aurora 440 QE, Activa 240, 930 Record, and 731 Baby Lock Quest Plus, Featherweight 221s...

I offered to buy the floor model as it was in perfect condition, like new. And since it was the one I tested, I had played around with it for several hours. She said "No that it would not do her any good, then she would just have to replace it with another floor model." That doesn't sound like its no longer being made, and they have run out of new ones to send to dealers. She would rather I had purchased the Horizon as they had one in stock.
