The machine arrived at the appointed time. The packaging was in accordance with the size of the machine. The unpacking was not an issue, even that is not setting up the machine. The barrel of this machine has been described in other recessions as "loud," I can not confirm. Previously I had another Overlock, who has rattled like an old steam engine even though she was only 4 years old. The rattle had this machine the way from the beginning. I am satisfied with the very Overlock. She is quiet and does what I want and what I need it. What bothers me somewhat even with this machine is the threading. I do not know why you have to make this so complicated, that's definitely better. The CD was unfortunately no help at all, I thought, I'm too stupid. Then I got myself the help the Internet. Since there are always excellent people who make videos, such as. On threading in this Overlock, and then klappts again to sew The author is very much !! Otherwise, I'm (still way, I have an embroidery machine from Brother) to peace with the Brother super, since this machine, except for the annoying threading, are self-explanatory (I'm not a reader of manuals)! From me a strong buy recommendation!
