Yes, I do and I love it. I traded in my Viking Diamond for it. It is so very easy to sew with, quietly, accurately and problem free so far. I have used the embroidery unit a few times...mostly use my Babylock10-needle for that. But, it is accurate and does a good job sewing out designs --small and large. Since I got it right before the epidemic I have not had classes on everything it can do, so just sort of learning it by exploration. Lots to learn as it is a sophisticated machine. I love the large screen. Makes it easier for my old eyes.

Thanks for the comments. I have thought of it before but price is a stopper, but my dealer/repairman recently said he thought that was the machine for me and quoted me a price much lower. So, lots to think about and find out what others think of it.
1223I have the Destiny2 and don't think I'd use the new different functions of the Solaris. I thought about it though. In addition to the huge price , it made no sense to me to buy it. The Destiny has a lot of things that I never use probably because I prefer editing/creating designs on my very large computer screen where I can better see the details, especially when looking at individual stitches. It's getting harder for me to move the Destiny if I need to take it to the shop because of its size/weight, especially as I get older. What machine are you using now?

I have a Janome MC11000SE (the one that got me hooked on embroidery!) and I have the Elissimo gold (upgraded to a 2).
I love the Elissimo. Would have liked the Destiny when it came out but! Recently when I was talking to my repairman (he also sells machines), he suggested the Solaris for me and a good price for it.
I'm tempted because of all the features. A lot to think about!

Hmmmm, honestly, if you have the Ellisimo Gold 2, I can't imagine why you would entertain the Solaris...in my opinion, it does not offer much more than what you already have...just sayin'... I have the original Ellisimo with all of the 4 upgrades and neither the Destiny nor thee Solaris offer enough for me to consider either of them...a whole lot of money for a "pittance" of functionality...just my humble opinion....
33640Sorry. I looked at the machine and decided to get a car instead. Just kidding. Thought I bring you back to the top
