The Janome DC2013 is a fabulous machine. I started researching sewing machines toward the end of last year and had my eye on the DC2012 model, but when I saw the newer model (with a better color scheme, in my opinion) for the same price I decided to go ahead with purchasing the DC2013. The machine arrived on time and in excellent condition. All the accessories were included. The sewing machine itself feels much sturdier than the mostly plastic Brother and Singer models that I had been considering (as it should, since I believe there are more metal components in this machine).
The manual is very well written, though I wish there was a section for each language rather than having one page for English and then the opposite page with translations in Spanish and French. Setting up was a breeze, with my first bobbin winding and needle threading done in about five minutes. Oh, and the automatic needle threader is great, very easy to use, though people with vision problems might have issues finding the little wire piece that threads the needle itself. Stitch selection is also very easy, the LCD screen is bright enough but not distracting, and the halogen light is perfect for seeing your work. I did some practice stitches on some muslin, and all the stitches were very even and the tension was set perfectly out of the box. And boy, is this machine quiet! On a side note: I noticed that the manual said that oiling is not recommended, just periodic cleaning with very clear instructions listed.
In conclusion, this machine seems to be very sturdy and well-constructed, and I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced sewing machine that is still constructed with quality components. I'll update my review if there are any changes.
Update 04/27/13: This machine is still running strong. Absolutely no issues during construction of numerous garments and other home projects. No tension problems or stitch issues. Have bought a couple extra janome brand presser feet and have been pleased with how they work on the machine. Still recommend with no reservations!
