Pros & Cons
Pros
The base and legs are wimpy but will get you started. I’d also recommend a wood holder that is removable for the bottom arm of the machine. You need it to be removable for when you sew shoes or bags.
Cons
The machine was covered in grease, and there was machine oil floating in the bag. I'm sure the grease is to keep the poorly cast metal from rusting, but the product arrived totally soaked in grease. The metal is so poor the machine pieces were chippin... Read More

Highlights
Quality
I ordered this along with the shoe patching machine
Excellent value for the money and seller backs his product
Fit finishin general the chrome plating quality is poor with much peeling missed spots contaminated surface not prepped and uneven
Overall finish quality is relatively poor but if you are willing to do some work yourself they are a great value
Price
It is incredibly picky and hard to deal with but i wouldn’t trade it for anything given the price
Shipping
Price was great shipping was super fast item well packaged
The large cell expanded styrene falls apart in shipping especially with heavy cast iron product
Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness
I sewed through 3 layers of 8oz leather which is a total of 38 thick without difficulty
I give it a 4 because after the kinks are worked out its a sweet little machine for the price
I also retapped screw holes and found better hardware
Not to bad that said you should plan on a bit of tweeking
