Does this machine move in a figure 8 pattern like the original Chi machine?

No, just back and forth. It seems to be a very well made machine and does have a speed control that is nice.

The Chi Energizer machine on here looks just like this, and advertises a unique elliptical movement with a vertical lift, rather than just back and forth.

I have had a Chi Vitalizer for about ten years, after moving to Japan I got a replacement since I left my first one behind. When I bought my first I am quite sure it was advertised to have a figure eight motion and on both my first model as well as the second I can clearly see the Chi Vitalizer goes up higher at each end of the back and forth motion. Easy to see if you take a good look.

Yes, all the machines that we sell are the newer models with the improved rolling action. Thanks, Oren Thanks, Oren

It does not but does come with a free motion foot. I love this machine for piecing.

Yes. They have a new tray for the old machine to make it into the full-sized one, but the inner workings of Spellbinders' original Grand Calibur were awful and didn't hold up very well. I'm on my second "new" machine, but only because I wore out the first one. It didn't break...it was just tired from all the die cutting I do and the pressure wasn't great anymore.

No. You get all the same pieces. I have two sets and make a big figure eight with curvy pieces in the middle

No, the one at toys r us is different. It moves more like a robot and wears cloths overalls.

Yes it does and it has a height adjustment. The machine works great. I am rather tall and I still get a great range of motion. Love the seated pull, almost as good as a rowing machine. The weights travel up and down a post. I applied lubricant to make the lift motion smoother. Went together easy if you have any mechanical ability.

No - it will move swivel side to side, but not up and down. For being a 1080p picture, I am disappointed with the quality of the image! My Sony 32" 720 Bravia has a better picture. Only buy if you need built in DVD!

Yes!! I have 3 different sets, basic, elevator and the figure eight. My kids mix and match everything. This is one of the many reasons I LOVE this set! :)

this machine moves from side to side. I think this is an excellent machine that helps very well for health matters. I am plenty satisfied.

Sorry, I don't know All I learned is that the Chi machine was the original creator. I had a friend who was a wholesaler and she was selling this Chi machine to chiropractors. She said the chiropractors were using the Chi deluxe machine. So that's all I've ever used. I just gave our Chi machine away to an individual who had fallen from a ladder. He said the Chi machine is truly helping him! So that's when I purchased another one and I use it every day and feel awesome when using it!

Yes it does, but my kids heavy feet will still move it. Takes a very soft touch to operate.

Yes the arms move. I highly recommend this machine , well built and very quiet.

No but some of the time the whole design do not transfer and ends up ruining the shirt and design. I sent this back they said they adjusted it and still have the same problems with this machine. would not buy this again. I had a swing away and it was better than this model.

The one you get does not look like the picture nor does it have the auto sweep feature. It doesn't "look old" though. It is a very nice machine that has a remote. I have used mine for over a year and it works very well. I would buy it again.

It does. It took me about five minutes and I'm mechanically challenged. The instructions were pretty straightforward and I don't recall any gottchas.

No, unfortunately it does not. However, I will tell you I've had this machine for over three years and still LOVE it immensely. It is a very good machine!
