I have actually bought three of these machines - the first was for me - after not having had a sewing machine for years, I missed sewing, but I didn't have a budget for my dream machine. This one had great reviews and the price was crazy low for all the features, so I took a chance. It turned out to be smooth and reliable, so easy to operate! I loved the buttonholes that it made and the overedge stitches for seam finishing.
I loved it so much that I bought another one for my mother in law, and another one for my best friend.
They're quite sturdy, considering all the plastic in the housing. Very easy to work with and advanced enough that a new sewist will not outgrow its capabilities quickly.
Nice stitch quality with a lot of decorative and utility stitches built in.
I like the speed control and a Stop/Start button on the front of the machine so that you don't have to use the foot control. This was necessary for my friend who is a paraplegic.
I don't recall it being particularly noisy, even when sewing heavier fabrics like "cork leather" or waterproof canvas. It handled all the fabrics I use most often though I did have to hand crank through the heaviest seam junctions.
I eventually gave mine away, so I don't know how it's doing, but the other two are still functioning just fine at about 10 and 12 years old.
Amazing amount of versatility and reliability for this price. For the beginning hobby sewist, I would consider this a starter machine - use it and upgrade when it dies - at this price, it's almost disposable. Add a Brother 1034D serger at about the same price and you're set to do any kind of sewing you like.

Check pressure foot position before giving up on sewing!
I bought my first CS6000i 9 years ago as a factory refurb and loved it! I finally worn it out to the point that it would cost more to fix it than to replace it. I wanted to buy the same exact machine, but no one seams to carry it, so naturally I turned to Amazon....and because of their Customer Service, I'm really glad I did, The 1st machine I got I couldn't get the tension balanced. I did everything I knew of (trying different needles, different thread, different combos of the two) and followed everything in the manual. I even went online to Brother to see if there was something I missed. After crossing my "T"s and dotting my "I"s and getting frustrated I contacted Amazon. They sent me a 2nd one, no problem...or so I thought. It worked but seemed like I had to work at it too. It just seemed to take more effort than my other needed. At this point I was not piecing quilts, just making masks, so I was just using the edge of my pressure foot as a guide. But still, something just seemed off. It finally hit me that the needle was not lining up with the mid-line on the pressure foot. So I took it to my local Authorized Brother Repair (Quality Sew & Vac). The Rep thought that it was really odd too, but showed me how to move the needle into position....DID NOT KNOW THIS SO PASSING IT ALONG if you put the needle in position 00 you can move the needle ANYWHERE between the left and right by using the "zigzag" button ( the button below the stitch length button) ... The manager came over, took one look at the machine, and said that the needle was position was fine. The pressure foot wasn't square with the feed dogs. Never did that possibility cross my mind! I thought, okay, maybe I can make this work. That was, until I tried to use my walking foot. I'm 70 years old and my hands can sometimes be less steady than I'd like. I'm also trying to learn quilting and that scant 1/4" can be iffy. The walking foot, when set up correctly, made it a lot more doable. With this machine it wasn't. It didn't sew straight. Once more I contacted Amazon. I explained what was wrong and that I no longer had the box to return the machine. And once more, they sent me a new machine. And when I pulled it out to check it...IT HAD THE SAME PROBLEM! I didn't have to do anything more than unpack it to see that the "J" foot wasn't square. This can be a GREAT machine, especially for beginners. But if you're having problems and thinking that maybe sewing is just not for you, PLEASE check you pressure foot. That center line on your pressure foot should be in the middle of needle plate. If it is off center like my walking foot is in the pictures, it's the machine and NOT YOU! I now have another Brother machine, this time a CS70001. It works just fine. This one I'm keeping.
