Buying Husqvarna Viking E10

Hi all,
I'm considering buying a Husqvarna Viking E10. It's my first sewing
machine and I'd like to know if any of you own this model. Would you
say that it's a good one? Would you buy it again if you could do it
over? Pros, cons and prices... Anything you can tell me.
Thanks a lot and have a nice day

Ah... It's a Huskystar E10! NOT made BY HV, but badged for them.
Their reputation here in the UK is reasonable for the price. Don't
expect the same stitch quality, reliability, or long term endurance
you'd get out of a 'proper' Husqvarna Viking main range machine built in
Sweden. They are targeting the same range as the Bernette from Bernina
(same deal: badged machines rather than built by the company), but have
a better rep, here at least.

I'll admit to being biased: I've had my Husqvarna Lily 550 since 1999,
and love it. I wouldn't look at anything other then HV to replace it.
