It really depends on what you're planning to sew 😊 If you're a beginner and want to get the basics down, then a machine like that could be useful - it'll suggest the right settings, help you not get confused with thread and tension. But if you've already been sewing for like five years and know what you need, then probably no point overpaying for AI features. A regular good machine will work just as well.

The main thing I'd pay attention to is the machine's reliability itself, stitch quality, and how comfortable it is to work with. AI features sound nice, but will they really simplify your life that much in practice? Check reviews of the specific model, ask to see it in the store. And keep in mind that if something breaks, maintenance on a smart machine might be more expensive than a regular one.

I'd recommend choosing a machine based on its basic specs - stitch type, power, ease of use. The fact that there's AI built in, you can think of that as a bonus, not the main reason to buy it. If the price is the same or the difference is small, then why not get one with the smarts? But don't overpay just for that 💭

Ветер asker Thanks, useful tip. I'm a newbie, so I'm leaning towards a machine with AI - I'm kinda scared to mess up the settings.

To be honest, I don't really know much about sewing machines, but whenever I hear about artificial intelligence in household appliances, I always think the same thing. Yeah, it sounds trendy and appealing, but whether you actually need it - that's a completely different question. If you're a professional seamstress or often work with complex fabrics and patterns, then it might be useful. But if you sew occasionally, just for yourself and your kids, there's a risk you'll overpay for features you won't even use.

The main thing I'd pay attention to is reliability and how well the basic operations work. Even a super advanced machine won't help if it breaks down all the time or does simple stitches poorly. I work with kids and I see that people often get fixated on new technology and forget about practicality. So I'd recommend first figuring out what functions you actually need, and then look at whether it has AI.

If money's not an issue and you're willing to pay for technology "for the future," then why not. But I wouldn't consider it a critical factor in choosing. Better to go with a tried-and-tested machine with good reviews and a service center nearby than chase after the latest thing. And also - read reviews specifically about that AI feature, because often it turns out it works completely differently in reality than it does in the ads.

If you sew clothes often - it might be useful, but for the price of this machine you could get two regular ones that have been working for decades and don't break down. I wouldn't pay extra for "artificial intelligence" in a sewing machine.
