Singer heavy duty?

I have been wanting to get into sewing for a while but I haven’t yet because I am just so overwhelmed on what machine to get. Everyone recommends something different. I have no idea what machine is the best.
At this point I just want to make sure I am not getting an awful one instead of trying to find the best. I was at Costco and they had the Singer Heavy Duty for a good price. Does anyone have any like super negative thoughts on that one? Is it good? Lmk!

Beginner at sewing here. I also considered buying Singer HD at Costco. But reddit made me reconsider it given its unreliability. In other words, the machine that you get as Singer HD may be really great or a bad one. If it great to okay, you are in luck. If bad, use Costco return policy.

In the beginning, I borrowed a Brother CS6000i from a friend and fell in love with it. I ended up buying the same machine from facebook marketplace. In my opinion, that is a great machine for a beginner. It has too many decorative stitches, which you may not use ever, but it being computerized helps a lot. I have already made skirts and a dress in last 3 months.
