gawk!
I was thinking how much sewing machine could improve over the decades, it ain’t macbook or cell phone…
now I am embarrassed that the model I offered OP is Sears Kenmore, my pooled-moneyed wedding gift 20-sh years ago …
and
look at the low Amazon price! seriously? I bet the first US machine I had which my friends thought needing replacement badly (totally unnecessary but what can you do with those “shower” occasions loving people?) that Woolworth store-model was at least 100 bucks, am I dreaming?
now
At our job, we swear by Bernina, but it might be just like HYPS myth that my (our? G?) fav parent poster always ranting about in IVY thread.
“there are equally great, more fitting elite schools (machines) that works for your kid if only YOU, the parents know better, if you aren’t pathetic ignorant gullible prestige monger!!!”

We’d use industrial heftties for fury sewings.
either Juki (from Japan, roughly translate “heavy machinery” in Japanese) or Brother (as is, thought it sounds cool and modern, I bet. the company was inherited by the founder’s brother. also from Japan. we are big on machines.)
Our seamstress from other continents would use industrial machines for everything, they know how to use all attachment and tension nobs (yep colcon) and have bag of tricks each with the tools for baby hem (1/8 inch finished double hem satin, I am not kidding) foot for invisible zippers etc that they would carry around with them and won’t leave them unattended, like chef’s knives.
They have been sewing professionally ever since before we were even conceived. It is not worth trying to be like them, but be friendly and ask casual questions, or just spy how they do it.
Doesn’t mean I could never ever do it myself and in this way, we all have jobs.
where was I?
No
I have no idea how good this machine is. but if sewing machine got more than 700 reviews, it must be good/hot item?
I don’t see why machine had to have brain where more chance of going wrong and need fixing when we really really need one more stitching, but if it wasn’t for the Mac, I am not writing this, am I?
so… for that price, give it a go? seven different buttonholes. gawk!!!
