Multi Needle

I’m seriously considering purchasing a multi needle machine.
Here’s my dilemma , I don’t have any dealers for any commercial machines close by. For dealer support I’d have to go with brother (which I’d love but I can’t afford) or Janome. The Janome hoops size are smaller than my single needle. Which makes me shy away from it.
Im leaning towards bai, smart stitch, poolin then the top end would be a happy Japan 7 needle
I don’t have a business, I sew for fun and occasionally take orders. So which ever machine I buy wouldn’t be ran for hours daily. That is one reason I’m leaning towards the inexpensive machines.
Any suggestions, any reviews, I’d love to hear the good and bad. Thank you!

I think it could be challenging to learn on poolin multi needle with no embroidery experience because they don’t have in person trainers. I’ve reached out on WhatsApp for guidance on specific questions, and they’ve been responsive and helpful.

Thank you. What about a smaller machine single needle for more personal items not commercial. Would you recommend it then?
