What LauraJ likes about this machine
I love the speed. I'm still learning to control the machine as I've only used it twice. I'm doing a lot of sewing for my new house.
My dad found the machine on one of his auction/sales treks and purchased it for a great price. I did take and have it cleaned and adjusted before moving it to my new house.

What LauraJ does not like about this machine
I've yet to find anything I don't like. I had a little trouble with the thread breaking but did get that working. And, my hubby noticed a small leak near the knee bar that I'm hoping is just the machine adjusting to use. If not, I'll call the sewing machine repair and talk to them.

It's nice to read about an industrial machine every once in awhile. Hope you update on it's performance after you've run a few projects through it!

I also use a Consew 230. Once you have a taste of an industrial, all other "home" machines look and feel like toys!
