They are priced somewhat higher than you can find similar models from other vendors.

If you are opening a loft or canvas shop maybe you should get a commercial size machine. They cost a lot more are heavy and large. However if you are looking for a portable heavy duty walking foot machine "that works" you should not even think of buying from anyone but Sailrite. The folks at Sailrite put tons of work into the machines in Indiana USA. Whereas the clones, from other vendors, do nothing but ship the machines from the Chinese factories they are made in without doing any of the work on them that makes them function to Sailrite's specifications.
