Go to any decent home appliance store - you will see at least a dozen sewing machines from different manufacturers from Europe, Asia, and Russia there. Great design, an extensive list of operations - but do they all correspond to the stated quality? Let's try to figure out which firm the sewing machine performs its duties better.
Singer (Singer)
The German company Zinger is the oldest company producing sewing machines since 1850. Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers had such devices, carefully covered with a lacquered plywood casing.
Now on the Russian market, Zinger products occupy an extensive niche. The company produces a wide variety of models - from simple electromechanical (10 operations) to complex devices that can not only sew, but also embroider. The quality of Singer sewing machines is beyond any doubt, and their prices are quite affordable for people with different incomes.
Janome
One of the world leaders, the company Jan (Japan), produces household and industrial sewing and embroidery machines, overlock. Moreover, components for them are manufactured at the enterprises of the company. This affects the level of product quality.
Janom produces several model lines of machines. Among them can find a suitable model for both novice seamstresses and professionals. The Japanese would not be Japanese if they did not equip their products with electronics. Already in 1979, the company began to produce computer sewing, and after 11 years - embroidery machines. Currently, no company produces as many computerized sewing machines as Jahn.
Aurora
Our compatriots are not far behind the leading manufacturers. Aurora company confidently occupies a prominent place among the leaders in the production of sewing equipment.
The production of this company is located in China, which had a positive impact on the cost of production. Sewing machines of this brand are loved by both professionals and amateurs. The quality is very high, the price is affordable.
Brother
And again, Japan. Cars of this brand are reliable, easy to use. The company has been producing sewing equipment for at least 75 years.
During this time, production technology has improved so much that none of the users have any complaints about the quality of Brother products. This brand in Russia in many rankings takes the first place, having pressed even the famous Singer.
Pfaff
The German company Pfaff is not inferior to Zinger, neither in age nor in product quality. Currently, the company produces several model lines:
- Electromechanical machines equipped with a classic shuttle;
- Machines with integrated rotary hook and upper fabric advancement;
- Machines equipped with electronically controlled dual tissue transport system;
- Sewing and embroidery equipment with the ability to connect to a computer.
It is inappropriate to argue about the quality of Pfaff products. These machines are quite suitable for professionals, but at the same time they are so easy to operate that the students can easily cope with them.
Veritas
If you are sewing on a professional level, you should buy a Veritas sewing machine for heavy and medium fabrics. It is suitable for sewing mountain costumes, garments with plastic inserts, tents, etc. As for the quality and reliability, the products of this brand did not change the German tradition.
AstraLux
The Taiwanese company produces cheap sewing machines. The service network in Russia is well developed, it sews well. But, choosing an Astralux sewing machine, pay attention to user reviews: experienced craftswomen say that it poorly performs finishing (external) stitching: the stitch deviates slightly from the seam line. But for beginners such a machine is quite suitable: inexpensive, copes well with light and dense tissues.
Choosing leaders among well-known manufacturers is a thankless task.Their products are of such high quality that, for example, there is no need to compare, for example, Singer with Veritas. Therefore, choosing a sewing machine, do not let yourself be seduced by the low prices of products of unknown brand: you can always find an inexpensive but reliable model from a manufacturer with a world name.
