For this review I trust in the experience and judgment of my sewing machine enthusiastic relationship: Even at first glance makes the sewing machine Veritas qualitatively robust impression and needs in design and equipment (accessories!) Do not hide behind well-known branded products. The versatile sewing programs are easily adjustable for beginners and function smoothly. Threading and coils can be handled easily. The engraving offers appealing results. Even the thread cutter does its service problems. A disadvantage proves the bulky windup Anschiebefach, whereby the bobbin change is made unnecessarily difficult. The feet lift lever plastic works very robust due to its lightweight design and could be one of the first components of the sewing machine fall victim to the wear. A metal lever would have been the more permanent solution here. The Veritas 2500 is thus, in particular due to their ease of use, ideal for beginners won't and occasional sewing enthusiasts. The smaller qualitative shortcomings and then for professional applications but limited settings, but they make for much closer rather uninteresting that would then tend to fall back on higher-quality and more expensive models. Conclusion: Overall, the 2500 Veritas offers a good value for money. Of course, can be found in detail minor loss in quality, but can not be completely avoided in this price segment. Of course, should dig deeper into their bag and opt for a higher quality (and more expensive) brand product for the occasional recreational Nearer no problem, the enthusiastic much closer.
