Our Review:
The Brother Sewing Machine XL 5500 is an easy to use basic sewing machine which suits the basic sewer. Its probably the best machine on the market in its price range (£100 and below) and although its not oozing features, functions, charm or premium quality it certainly does suit the basic sewer wanting to do the occasional sewing job and if the budget was £100 or less the Brother XL5500 would be the one to go for.
The XL-5500 is ideal for basic alterations, mending and repairs. With its traditional metal chassis you can put your trust in this feature packed sewing machine that includes a drop feed and stitch width and length control to make mending items easier.
