I can say with ALL assurity that it's Crap. We actually checked out a CG550 and a few more of their "heavy duty home" machines. They are NOT "commercial grade" or "industrial". The parts that look like metal are actually mostly "steel colored plastic" to make it LOOK like an industrial machine. It deos not have an automatic scissors ("cutter" doesn't mean scissors) and it doesn't have a "needle stop in the up position" option... it stops where you stop pushing on the pedal. Not nearly as good as you think it's going to be. VERY misleading.

If you're going to sew leather, you need a walking foot and/or a REAL industrial machine. You can get them used for $1000 or so.
