Juki HZL-DX Series Sewing Machine HZL-DX5 Standard Arm

I've sewn lots of things on my Juki DX5 now! I absolutely love it! The auto cutting feature is one of the main reasons I originally purchased it, but its exceeded my expectations in everything it can do! I have been sewing for 3.5 years and was looking to upgrade because I felt my skills were at a level I needed/wanted more features. I love that this machine's foot pedal can be programmed to do several things from back-stitching to trimming threads! It's awesome! Never even knew I needed that, but it's a great feature! I love that the foot pedal has weight to it and it's large! It doesn't slid

I love my Juki DX5, it’s my first Juki sewing machine. The stitches are perfect, and it can sew from very thin fabric to thick ones without a hiccup. It’s a strong machine with a cute design. I was searching for a good and strong “sew and go” machine, to do small alterations. To my surprise the Juki DX5 is as good as the Bernina. I’ve bought the Juki DX5 and the Janome Skyline 3 at the same time. I returned the Skyline, Juki is by far better, it’s at another level. It’s truly automatic, you don’t have to keep on changing the tension. The Janome Skyline is smooth and replacing the presser foot

Loving my new machine!!! Has all the bells and whistles needed to make sewing a breeze! The cut thread button also lifts the pressure foot at the end which is helpful and saves time. I also love the slight pressure foot lift leaving the needle down. Makes sewing small pieces with lots of turns so easy. The first project I tried it on was adding a corset back to a wedding gown. It went through a dozen layers of fabric with such ease! I know this machine will do me well for years to come.I want to give a shout out of praise/thanks to the Seller SewVacDirect. Firstly, they offered a great price t

When I received the machine the timing went off fast. Did not get any ware with Juki very poor service. Paid $160.00 to have the machine serviced, turned out the screw to hold the hook was not tightened. Very un-happy with Juki service but like the machine.

The machine works well. The stitches are great. One issue is the bobbin area. If you get thread caught underneath the bobbin while winding, it is hard to pull off the plastic piece to get the thread off the spindle. It's going to be a problem, as the plastic piece might eventually break. But if all else fails, one can get a bobbin winder, because it's really a nice-running machine. I am going to try to have a spare part on hand.Also, I prefer to have my thread positioned vertically, but both thread spindles are horizontal. So, I purchased a separate spool holder...And last, you have to hold th

I had a Juki hxl-f400 that died after 11 years. I also have a Juki qvp-mini quilting machine that is a joy to use. So I tried this Juki hzl-dx. Right out of the box it was very similar to my f400. This machine is so quiet. And one thing I loved is the thread cutter was quicker and quieter than the f400. Threaded the same as the f400. Sewed a few test run samples. On the second day I was hemming some dress slacks and the error LOWER PRESSER FOOT would not go away. Tried everything then just turned off the power. Error cleared when I turned it back on. Returned machine. It's never a good sign if

I liked this machine - I thought it was the sweet spot of price, features, and size (I often make quilts so having the extra harp space was a bonus). About 10 months into owning it an electrical issue prevented the foot pedal from working consistently and made the machine change to back stitch randomly. Juki has a 2 year warranty on electrical parts, but you need to have it serviced at the "dealer" that sold it to you. Well, no surprise that Amazon doesn't service sewing machines. They did give me an "exception" to return it, but loaded on fees meaning that I lost $200 off the purchase price!!

Item arrived on time, complete in a well packaged and sealed box. Read the manual and watched video before installing and turning on. Unfortunately, the automatic needle threader does not engage and “swing” correctly. I’ve been sewing over 55 years now so the malfunctioning automatic needle threader is not a deal breaker for me. I am disappointed it doesn’t work brand new out of the box (thus the 4 star rating instead of 5). My less expensive Bernette and Brother sewing machines have auto needle threaders that have always worked for me.I’ve been testing out the other features, and so far it is
