Janome 18750 Sewing Machine Review

The Janome 18750 sewing machine is my type of machine and I love the way Hello Kitty looks on it. She is reminding me that I should eat one apple a day for less visits to the doctor’s office. Seriously, she is just too cute to resist.

I don’t really mind if others think of me as maybe childish when it comes to something that I like and I am not embarrassed to show it off even when I am an adult. Instead others might give you smiley faces when they see you are using this machine.

This sewing machine is designed for both beginners and experts. It is fairly easy to use. Honestly, I am no expert when it comes to sewing but I want a sewing machine to be able to grow along with my sewing skills. At least I can be able to do more things and bigger projects with this sewing machine.

• It comes with a soft case for you to use to cover from dust when it is not in use.
• You can set the machine to memorize the needle to be down or up whenever you stop in the middle of sewing. For example, if you stop with the needle down in the middle of sewing and you need to readjust your hands or other things then the fabric won’t slip. This is a very cool and useful feature.

Janome 18750 Review

The overall rating for this sewing machine is pretty high. As you can see from below it received a little above a 4. Don’t know if you think this machine is expensive or not because everyone thinks differently. It is really depending on your budget. For example there is a user who is saying it is well worth the price and considering it is cheap when it comes to its features or functionality.

Average Consumer Rating: 4.2

Pros And Cons

• Pros:
  The machine runs quietly when it is being used, so it wouldn’t bother others who need to do some studying. It is also great to have a bright light running on this machine. Not to mention there is no need for the foot pedal because of the stop and start available function.

• Cons:
  Doesn’t like the plastic bobbins. Yeah, some other companies make their bobbins to be metal, but Janome makes them in plastic. Most of Janome sewing machines are using this kind of bobbin.

  Another thing I like to mention is Janome doesn’t make available parts for this machine anymore and it might be hard to find repairs if for whatever reason the machine breaks down.

Warranty

This sewing machine is backed by a five year limited manufacturer warranty. Sorry, I can’t find the manual for this Janome sewing machine. I have searched on the Janome site and it looks like the download link is down. Hopefully, they will update it soon and then I will put the download link on here.
