Any opinion on whether to go with the HD1000 or Magnolia 7318? I am a light crafter/sewer, maybe use once or twice a month

The Magnolia is a great machine and portable as it weighs 12#. DO not know anything about The HD1000 for comparison but I love the Magnolia and how it performs for quilting. It feels like a sturdy machine that has great durability over the years. There are enough special features to the Magnolia to make it a good machine for crafting or sewing.

Can't compare the two models, but I can report on the 5100. This is my dream sewing machine. I've sewn on Singer, Brother and Home. I've liked my Singers, but the Janome is my dream. I'm recently retired and plan to keep my Janome's pedal "to the metal."

Laguna recommends the maxflow 1400 but already had the maxflow 2000 and the two work pretty good together......hope this was of some help to you

I don't know what u r planning to sew. I wanted to sew leather & I bought HD machine. It works great & I love it. I do sew fabric too but I bought it to sew leather & it was perfect for my projects.

I have both a 5000 (the predecessor to the 5200) and a Pro 750 (like the 300, but with the addition of 5 presets). The 300 is a Next Generation Vitamix as are the 7500 and the Pro 750. These machines come equipped with a low profile, wide bottom, 64 oz. container with a 4 inch blade, which is far more efficient than the standard tall and narrow 64 oz. container with a 3 inch blade that's used with earlier models. The wider bottom makes it much easier to remove heavy and/or sticky contents from the container, and the 4 inch blade makes quick work of everything. It's not really that the newer models don't handle small quantities well, it that the new container with the wider bottom requires more volume to cover the blades. Therefore, batches under two cups are best processed in a smaller container. I have a 32 ounce container that I originally bought to use with my 5000 when I needed to make a small batch of something, like salad dressing for example. I find it's also the perfect container to use for making small batches with my Pro 750. In my opinion, the Next Generation series of machines are far superior to previous models.

The p250 might be better suited for 250 sq ft. The unit will last longer if it doesn't have to work as hard. I would highly recommend either one of these units. Mine have been running non-stop for over a year.

This machine has been GREAT. I use assorted threads. I do not use plastic because it does not always last in dry cleaning and pressing. This machine has been one of my best investments. P.S. I have a small alterations shop.

I bought this for my wife and here is her answer as she has both machines. The project is a good machine and is also a sewing machine where the 770 is not. The 770 is faster, much faster and will take up to a 5x7 hoop where the project will only take a 4x4 hoop. Both are good machines, it depends on what features you are wanting.

I would see 25H3P as the superior model as it got both rain and shock protection and disk is fully covered by the shock proof material body. This suggestion with security of handling the devices, but it will weigh a little extra since it has that hard cover. I have not used 25M3P but have seen with one of my friends. Portability wise both are similar. Good luck :)

One difference is the other model is for light to medium fabrics, but this one handles heavy ones as well, so it depends what you plan on sewing. For me it's worth the money to be able to sew pretty much anything.

Sadly (if you're on a budget at all), the next step up I believe is the Brother 1250...a gorgeous machine, but runs about $1700. Not available at Amazon; I think you have to buy it from a dealer. I want exactly the same thing, but not to spend that much on a hobby I only do once in awhile. I ordered the Singer Futura XL-400 because it just is TOO tempting despite the reviews....has large embroidery area and some nice regular sewing stitches....guess what? The machine CROAKED the first time we tried to embroider with it! My husband is a computer guy and I'm experienced at embroidery...we read the directions carefully..... VERY disappointing, I should have believed the reviews here on Amazon....would not recommend that machine, no matter how tempting it looks! Getting customer service from Singer is nearly impossible, too. Hope you find this helpful....wish Brother would come out with something as dependable as the se400, but with 5x7 capabilities at the lower price!

Love the mop, use it with Black Diamond wood and laminate floor cleaner on a laminate floor. I initially tried HDX which is supposed to compare to Bona but was not happy with results.

I've had a 720SW for a few years. It has been drug through outdoor hell and still is great. Can't wait to try the 1030.

I recently bought Onkyo 5300 and today noticed that S6300 has come down in price. I think spending little extra to acquire HT-S6300 is well worth it. I absolutely love Ht-5300 but the speakers are huge! I like sleeker look of Ht-s6300, plus up conversion, aux mic features are worth spending little extra money. But if you don't care about that, HT-S5300 is very good system with excellent sound. Haven't checked out Yamaha, so can't comment on it.

Look at the description of both to compare. I am thrilled with the 9200. Call them if you're not sure.

I just put a Grado Prestige Green1 cartridge on this, and it's way clearer than the AT95E, particularly when the mix of tonalities is dense. The AT cart by comparison reduces complex passages to mush. It's reasonably good on simpler, quieter stuff though. Maybe the AT cart I got was a lemon though; they used to be an excellent brand when I was a kid. The turntable itself is decent.

The ATP-2 is not a bad cart, but it isn't great, either. The one that came with my '120 has never been used.I have several better carts; I have been using a Shure M91EDthat I had mounted on a shell years before I got the '120.The M97 would be a worthwhile upgrade. It will provide very good sound at a very reasonable price.Please read the posts (including mine, of course) about the anti-skating on this turntable.
