It does come loaded with tons of features that I have yet to use and I think if treated with care it will last a while. I think it could easily break if you were not careful with it.
I can't say I really like how you wind the bobbins and again the plastic spool post is very fragile. I was really concerned about using spools of thread that would only fit insi de the thread cassette, but an attachment is supplied that snaps on top of the thread cassette that allows you to use larger spools of thread. The machine is easy to load and while I must say when you first turn it on with the embroidery module attached it makes a lot of noise on start up, but it does sew very quiet and smooth compared to my older machines. The thread cassette feels like it is very fragile too. There is a lot of plastic on the machine and I mean a LOT! Parts like the spool posts that are all plastic that feel like they would easily break. I have not embroidered with it yet but I did use it to do a little sewing and I do have some observations. I bought this machine for my wife and admittedly I will probably use it as much as she will. I'm not exactly sure were to start so let me try and keep it simple. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned I use my other machines to wind the bobbins since it appears from their tiny size and material, they won't last long (and will make a mess of the interior of your machine). If you are g oing to buy either of these models, it would do well to ask the seller if the bobbin winding mechanism is working.
I ordered the replacement tires from sewingpartsonline. The replacement tire is not standard, it's much much smaller than the usual tire, it is very specific to these models. In order to get to the bobbin winder tire, you have to take the machine apart and remove the computer mother-board. On both machines the bobbin winder tire didn't wear out, it turned to goo which dripped and smeared all over the interior. Post note: The downside to this model as well as the CS-80 (same machine w/o the embroidery function), is the bobbin winder tire. The speed control is useful (very slow to fast at a slide of a button).
Manual buttons are placed efficiently on the front of the machine, can be used without the foot pedal. It does a very nice job of stitching with a wide variety of different stitch types (haven't tried embroidering yet).
