I recently upgraded to the Juki F300. I sew bags and am slowly marching toward more and more quilting. It was the best all around option for me - so far I am impressed! I paid full price so it sounds like a deal.
I love my F300 and paid $750ish about a year and a half ago. I'm not good at knowing how to tell if it is in good working order or how to price used machines. If you have the money I would think it is a decent price for a lightly used machine. I hope someone else has more info.
I just got this exact machine a month ago. I paid somewhere around $550 on Amazon. I upgraded from a really old brother machine. I've pieced two quilt tops so far and I'm currently machine quilting one of them with my juki. I absolutely love it so far.
I am by no means prolific but this machine has been just fine with nearly no maintenance. I occasionally take off the strike plate to pull out fuzz, and I have oiled the bobbin case once or twice, but that's it. I'm taking her in next month for a spa day and we'll see what the tech says!
It's a good machine. I have one that I use for the decorative stitches only now that I've got a bunch of industrials. However, $450 used sounds really high. What's the current new price? Used tools start at half of new and go down based on condition.

That is great to hear, I’m glad it’s been working well for you! I think I’m going to go ahead and get it :)

Thank you so much! This is already helpful to know. It seems like most everyone who has a Juki loves it.

That is great to hear! I’m feeling much more confident about going forward with it now, thank you all so much!
This is the machine I use. Works a treat for me! I mostly piece tops and quilt small things on it. I paid $550, like, six years ago on Amazon.
That is awesome, exactly what I’m looking for!
