Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Brother HF27 Strong & Tough is the entry at number 7 in this guide. It is a corded electric machine with 27 stitches, a metal chassis and a metal needle plate, listed at £257.31 with 4.5 out of 5 from 634 ratings.
Two things on this listing do not line up with each other. The first is the ranking: the HF27 is placed 2nd in Electronic Controlled Sewing Machines, which is a narrow subcategory, while its Best Sellers Rank in Home & Kitchen is 25,923. The same listing therefore carries a one-digit position and a five-figure one, and only the second covers the whole department. The second is size: the title gives 48 x 25.80 x 37.50 cm, while the specification table gives 10.2 x 18.9 x 14.8 cm. Nothing on this page is a lab result — every figure is copied from the Amazon listing as it appears there.
