I purchased the 5160 5 years ago, and although I'm not a very frequent or expert sewer this machine has worked reliably well for me. I've made curtains, hemmed jeans and made lots of little baby gifts on this machine. Its instructions are pretty simple and easy to follow for anyone who's seen a sewing machine before. I haven't used any of the advanced features (buttonholes.) I like that it has a handle so that I can pull the machine out of the closet whenever I work on a project.
No complaints! And five years seems pretty good!
One drawback is that I've found it difficult to find extra bobbins for this machine.
One of the best, easy to use sewing machines.,

Just to specify, I am not a professional seamstress however I have owned at least 7 different sewing machines. This one by far is the easiest to tread and sew on.
My grandma has been a seamstress for the past 65 years and she admits this machine is really well made and great for those who enjoy small home projects. It is sturdy and does the job on the money. I highly recommend!!!

Recently purchased the model 5160, looks nice, but the light didn't work from the start. Singer apparently doesn't check out their products before leaving the factory.
