Customer Review: Brother se-270D awesome
I purchased the Brother SE-270D as a replacement sewing machine (I had worn out my other one). I wanted to start embroidering and mongraming, but sewing was my main function. I have LOVED playig with this. The only negative I would say is the auto threader, but if you buy the smaller spools it works fine. Mine is missing something that is supposed to allow you to use larger spools, so I have to improvise and it is a REAL PAIN. For a novice embroiderer I would say it is a good starter machine. The hoop size is only 4X4 which can be prohibitive, but for my use it is fine.Since I use it a LOT for clothing, I love the buttonholer and button features and the auto cutter is convenient.If you are mainly going to embroider, I wouldn’t use this one as color changing is time consuming, invest in a multi color machine with a larger base for true embroidery.
Customer Review: Not reccomended, very disappointed.
I bought the Brother SE270D just under a year ago. I wanted to have a sewing machine for everyday projects, curtains, dolls clothes, hemming, mending and to have fun with embroidery. I never got to the embroidery because I never felt confident that it could operate well enough to handle embroidery.
Just plain sewing had tangling thread, fabric bunching, a selected stitch not performing (eg switching from straight to zig zag took a couple more tries before it would change even though the display showed a different stitch selected), awkward bobbin winding ( you have to be very careful with that) and it cannot handle thicker fabrics. I bound some small towels with cotton binding and it could barely manage to sew. The final straw was the auto needle threader failing. I took it to a Brother agent and was told nothing could be done about the auto threader and that in fact the machine has lots of problems and is a “load of crap”. They had one mounted on the wall sectioned to show the inside and she explained that the construction of the machine made it difficult or impossible to repair if things go wrong. I am taking mine back to where I bought it and will get a full refund.

Oregon Scientific BARM699 Touch-Controlled AM/FM Radio Alarm Clock with Weather OREGON SCIENTIFIC INC WEATHER FORECASTER,BARM699A/BLRBK-T
Customer Review: Average user friendly features
Although we really like the looks of the clock and it’s functions, it is does not glow in the dark so you can’t read it unless you hit a button and speaking of hitting buttons it tends to be less user friendly and it is a pain to program. I would not recommend this or buy another one!
Customer Review: Very Nice Clock-Radio
Works vry nicely and I like the fact that when the alarm goes off the backlight stays lit long enough to see the time and temps.

Customer Review: Cool Unit
Works a treat - great fun being able to listen to worldwide feeds on a “normal” radio interface to music/news without using the pc/laptop.
somehow drops link to wireless router - but so does my laptop so nothing new there… Sounds good, lacks any sound equalising functions…

Customer Review: Dear Amazon, This is NOT a brother innov-is 40 , what I am looking for !!
When i searched google for brother innov-is 40, Amazon link took me to this (different) machine.

Dear Amazon, Pl. this is not a brother innov-is 40 ( Rated best by Consumer Reports magazine ) and Please don’t mislead shoppers by showing them a different sewing machine, you want to sell.

Thanks anyway, Amazon.
Customer Review: so far, quite an impressive machine
I bought this machine a couple of weeks ago. It is an upgrade for me from a VERY basic Brother machine. I bought mine at a sewing machine store; actually cheaper than Amazon and I get their expertise/service.

One major feature I was looking for in my new machine is speed control. I am teaching my daughter to sew; this machine can be set to sew very very ssssslllloooww. Great when trying to teach a nine year old. Threading is pretty simple; there is a nifty automatic needle threader. I’m using it but threading a machine needle was never a big deal for me. I also like the automatic needle up feature. On every machine I ever used previously, I had to turn the wheel when done sewing a line to raise the needle. This machine does it automatically.

This Brother makes a very nice buttonhole; not as nice perhaps as a machine twice its price but still, just fine. It has this neat buttonhole foot in which you put your desired button in the back and it uses that button to automatically make the proper sized buttonhole. All in one step. This is WAY better than my old machine.

The bobbin is a top-drop-in. No more bringing up the loop, just put in in and sew.

One feature I’ve yet to use is a front stop/go control button. I guess that if you didn’t want to or couldn’t use a foot pedal you could use this button instead. I can see it being nice for buttonholes; you just position your fabric, push the “go” button, and it makes all the side of the buttonhole and stops automatically.

This machine trys to make things oops-proof. If you’ve ever jambed your machine because you started sewing with the presser foot up, well, that can’t happen with this machine. If things aren’t “right”, it will give you an error beep.

Another nice feature is that the machine automatically sets an “ideal” stitch length/width. You can overide it but for the most part, the defalt is perfect, especially with the decorative stitches.

There are several decorative stiches; I haven’t quite figured out the best way to put them to use but that’s just my own lack of creativity.

One last nice feature is a built-in foot holder. In front of the free-arm is a flip-down compartment that has molded, labeled spots for all your feet. It comes with a standard foot, zipper foot, blind hem stitch foot, decorative stitching foot, overlock foot, button attacher foot, and buttonhole foot. Also in the compartment is a molded space for a seam ripper and 4 bobbins (included). I’ve found it nice to have all these feet in one spot. I have a couple specialty feet from my old Brother machine and they fit and work just fine on my new one. An added plus.

One note; this machine takes bobbins that are a bit thicker than older ones. Buy a bunch of new ones; they say old ones won’t work.

All in all, I’m very happy. I’m glad I went with this model and would buy again.

***edited to add: my one gripe about this machine is that the built in lights are lacking. My old machine put out quite a lot of light; this one is MUCH dimmer.
