The price is going to depend on which country you are in. I have checked out the price a few weeks ago both in the UK where I am and in the States. For what it is it seemed reasonable at the time but I cant remember now. Just put the details into a search engine and see what comes up. Are you planning on buying one?

I'm not in buying mode right now but maybe soon? I'm in Texas and the nearest dealer is about 3 hours away. I'll give them a call next week

I saw a post where someone mentioned the MSRP was $5,999, but you know that no one ever pays the MSRP...I suppose it would depend on your dealer...I saw one at the Sewing & Quilting Expo in Pomona, CA a couple few weeks ago..and they were going to sell the one they had on the floor as a "demo" like they do all the machines they bring to those shows...not sure how much it was though...I was surprised at the limited hoop size...I think the largest is only about 8" x 8"...that would be a no sale for me...I'm not much help!

I was just window shopping and comparing ,they never want to say what the price is unless you contact them.
by bevintex 14 Nov 2015
ok. I think it's around 5000. I'll keep looking for other options

If the Aussie MSRP is $7,999 that would make the US price with the currency exchange right at $5,999...

on a timewasting exercise all I can find out that in Australia its 7999$ so if you convert that to your currency then you will have an idea

my dealer quoted me $6000. It's max hoop size is 8x8inch hoop and at the same time a new Janome 500e came out for $3000 with a 7.9x11inch hoop. My dealer always charges the msrp price unless Brother has them on sale.

ooooh, you need to find another dealer.....
by tilde01 15 Nov 2015
Only 1 brother dealer in area, would have to drive over 200 miles for a different dealer. So I changed machine to Elna eXpressive 830 (same machine as Janome 500e). Love it except for the threading, as that doesn't always work.

I would love to have a professional machine to use on on those items hard to hoop items, but would not know where to start looking and don't have the room for the machine and the stand for it in my sewing room. Also, it worries me as how to take it in for the maintenance schedule. Kay

no, I've decided this not the one I want
by tilde01 18 Nov 2015
Check out the Elna eXpressive 830. It is made by janome, has an extension table, can combine designs on the machine and I only paid $1900 plus sales tax.

Thanks. I'll have a look

That machine is $7K+ in Australia.
Very nice.
Which makes it about 2/3 the cost of the multi needle machine.
