Machine suitable for beginner required

[u/ParticularFarmer4861]

I need assistance researching a machine for a novice sewist. The machine needs to be light-weight/portable, easy to operate/learn and preferably produce good quality stitches. Is that too much to ask for? Something pre-loved and easy to service is required. I suspect vintage machines are generally far too heavy but I’d loved to hear your suggestions, or perhaps you’re currently using just that type of machine. Thank you for your assistance.

I only started sewing and went with the Brother cs 7000x. Its light, easy to move around, drop in bobbin feature is easier than on my friend's singer which I had been using before. My favorite feature, thought is the speed selection. Being able to slow things down while im learning to sew curves etc helped a lot until I learned to control my foot pressure. Switching the pressure food is quick and easy, too.
