JUKIHZL-F400 Exceed Series Computer Sewing Quilting Machine,White

Excellent machine loaded with great features at the listed price. (The auto-thread cutter function is worth its weight in gold). The machine came new in the box and in good condition. Every function worked fine and nothing has gone wrong yet. This is an extremely user friendly machine and has easy to understand computer screen functions. Threading and loading the bobin is so effortless and unbelievely easy. This machine will sew through multiple layers of heavy denim, with no lag in the motor, it defintely has the power and speed you need. I would recommend this machine and I'm very happy with my purchase. My only condern is that fact that auto threaders are delicate on all machines, and that you need to be extra mindful of this one. That being the only downside to this machine, I would still give it 5 stars. You will love this machine.*************** UPDATE: (11/1/13) I did have to send back the machine to have the auto needle threader repaired, but it now works perfectly and has held up very well. Just be careful not to accidently bang it, as it is delicate and needs to be treated with TLC (I did bang it accidently, and had to have it repaired, or readjusted, as the vendor noted when he fixed it).So, during this past year, the machine has held up great. No problems and works like a dream. It is an EXCELLENT sewing machine. It has every feature you could possibly want (please take note all the numerous features you get, including the hard case, as you will use every one and wonder how you ever sewed without them). The Juki F400 has a strong interior steel frame to prevent any machine distortion and makes the machine very stable and sturdy along with supporting the powerful quiet motor which gives this machine great sewing strength. You will notice a slight knocking sound when sewing through thick to very thick material, but this is common with all machines. In general, it is a very quiet machine. Most importantly, after the quality, I want to say that the user friendliness of this machine makes sewing so effortless, you will find it a pleasure to sew.PEASE NOTE: I have seen a review somewhere about the difficulty of changing the needle on the F400 (I had the same problem). The needle comes out fine, but putting it back in was a nightmare. All you need is a "needle gripper" sold in sewing machine stores (approx. $6 or so). Using the gripper gives you the leverage you need to putting a new needle back in and solves the problem.I hope my original review and very lengthy update convinces you to buy the Juki F400. The Juki F400 beats all the similar featured and priced machines out there, as the quality and ease of use can't be beat. Still a 5 star review and I would highly recommend it.

I have 2 Jukies, so I am very satisfied with the brand. This one, I got used - very good, and I couldn’t see any blemishes. I love the quietness of operation and the wide array of stitches. I also have the TL15, and I use them both almost daily. I love the extension table, the knee lift, the large throat, and the needle up down, those features are must haves to me. I have made many quilts on them.

This Juke is an absolute dream to use. As a beginner quilter, I had been using a Brother CS6000i, which was doing a reasonable job for small items but this Juke HZL-F400 is sooo much better. So far, since Oct, '24 I've made 2 lap quilts and 2 queen quilts on it and am currently working on my first king size quilt. No jamming or thread breaking. No funky stitches or tension problems. It is so quiet, I can sew in the evening without waking anyone up. The drop in bobbin is so easy. Even filling a bobbin is very simple. The machine is easy to thread and I didn't think I would use the auto stop/start reverse feature but I use it all the time! I also love the auto needle threader! The one on the Brother never worked. The one on the Juke has never failed! My Juke also came with the walking foot which I've used to do all my straight line quilting on my quilts. As for speed, it has 5 levels. I have only used up to level 3, which is plenty fast for me. There are many features I have not yet used but so far I am delighted with this machine.

Helped me sew fabric for a couch project. Haven't had any issues. Easy to use. Easy to set thread on the needle and to automatically re-thread a bobbin.

Been using for almost a year & I love this machine. The only issues I've had were minor, and seemed to "work themselves out" after using the machine. Both the needle threader and thread cutter wouldn't work correctly at first, but now they're working fine. The bobbin winder runs too fast in my opinion. It stretched some monofilament thread so tight on a nylon bobbin that I couldn't remove the bobbin from the winder. Be aware that this machine is HEAVY, so it's not very portable.

My first purchase was 4 years ago with the HZL- F300, but after 4 years of constant use it started to get the upper tension mess up no matter how much I try to fix it, then started to make wierd clunking sounds and the needle getting stuck down and the thread all tangle up , getting it fix will be pretty expensive so I decided to buy this time this HZL- F400.Is pretty much the same machine only with more stitches and more accessories.I really hope this one last me a little more than 4 years but only time will tell.In the positive side now I will have plenty of replacements if I lost an accessory or something breaks 😆.I like that is very quiet and big, it has 8 inches from the needle to the right .I wish it had more stitches for the price but I guess that will do for now, I didn't want to buy the HZL-F600 because it was kind of expensive and Amazon won't give me the choice to pay in payments like this one and the HZL-F300.I was about to buy the singer Quantum because of the price and the amazing amount of stitches, but I really like Juki because is bigger , I prefer a bigger machine because is easier for me to sew garments . Update Feb/22/2025 : I need to return it because It keeps skipping stitches, thread cutter sometimes doesn't work, needle threader is defective because it already break 2 needles, and no matter what I do it refuse to sew knits properly.I will return and try different model
