Nice light weight, compact size.  This machine does what it advertises, mending and small jobs. 
     It has safety features that are cumbersome.  The finger guard is handy (I have punctured my finger before) however it makes threading the needle difficult.  Unplugging the machine is not an option to thread machine due to need for the light to see eyelet.  Using the included needle threader is very helpful.
     The machine has the necessary options for mending, hemming, zigzagging. The reverse works well.
     Overall it is a good machine for a beginner or for small projects.  Not having an on/off switch takes some getting used to, but does not kill the deal.
