The Singer 1408 is a white, corded electric sewing machine listed at £129.00, and it takes fourth place in this guide. The listing gives it 4.4 out of 5 from 2,081 ratings, with a Best Sellers Rank of 52,902 in Home & Kitchen and 23rd in Basic Sewing Machines.

The rank line is the interesting part. This Singer costs £129, which is £30 more than the £99 Brother L14S — the machine whose page carries the "Amazon's Best Selling Sewing Machine" line. That Brother page shows 26th in Basic Sewing Machines and 618 ratings; this Singer page shows 23rd and 2,081. Three places ahead, £30 dearer, and rated 4.4 against 4.6. The rating breakdown on the Singer listing is worth a look too: the five slices add up to exactly 100 — 74, 13, 4, 3 and 6 — so the one-star slice is larger than the three-star slice. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as we found it, not from a machine we tested ourselves.
