Whats your opinion

ok i wasnt going to step in either, but you know what! why not.
Dont bash eric's opinion because the reality of it is. Its 100% true. The question the person was asking in the thread was whats the best machine. Not what machine might work.
when eric says melco zsk ricoma brother are garbage. Ill explain what he means.
I have never seen a tajima that was a lemon. Never. ive owned the melcos the swf's zsk. not a brother so ill keep my mouth shut with that one. But those machines are garbage next to a tajima or barudan, im actually getting tired of these threads where people try to bash a tajima or barudan machine. Everyone knows theyre the best. Everyone. there is not one experienced person in this business who cant tell you that. and ive seen the odd person who has owned a machine that is not barudan or tajima and never had a problem, but more cases actually 90% of cases ive seen people who have these machines including myself and have had nothing but problems with them. So Eric meant if you want a good machine no matter if you found it in a dumpster, go with a tajima or barudan. Theyre better machines cut and dry that is it.
the dumpster thing was a bit much but you get the point.

Doesn't matter if you have one head or 100000 heads everyone who owns these two brands will tell you the same thing, they are amazing

I recommend the Brother PR600II or PR620. My is great, trouble free, great for home use or a home business.

THANK YOU DAN!

I was wondering when you would step in, lol

I trust you got my note? I've got a little spring rush going on, as soon as it clears I have a software question to ask you.

So what do the Barudan and Tajima entry level machines run price wise?

Eric · May 26th, 2009, 11:57 PM

My last single head tajima cost me $10,495 brand new. A barudan is anywhere from the $10k to $11k neighborhood to upwards of $15,000 depending on the machine weather you want bridge or compact and how many needles.

If you are talking singles, go with tajima, its a good product, a little cheaper, and in my opinion easier to use out of the box if you have never worked with industrial machines before.
