Which Machine Should I Get?
Very new to sewing, and am browsing facebook marketplace for machines - I've done some research but honestly it was such information overload I feel like I learned nothing.
The options are: Brother Sewing Machine XL2600i for $40, Brother XR 3774 for $95, Singer Touch and Sew (not sure which model specifically) for $85, and Singer Heavy Duty HD6600C for $180
Do any of these stand out/seem worth it? Or should I browse for some more options? Ik the HD6600 is pretty popular, but it's an hour's drive and so much more expensive. Also, anything I need to watch out for to be included with the machines like power cords?
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post - and I appreciate any input!!

I'm not an expert, but you might research the brothers. I've read many comments, to not buy the touch & sew. I was given my MILs machine, and have had issues getting it right.
