Rank #5 in Best Sewing Machines: 10 Ranked, and One 'Best Seller' That Isn't
Singer 2273 Tradition Sewing Machine
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Singer 2273 Tradition is a corded electric sewing machine with 23 built-in stitches, a fully automatic one-step buttonhole and an automatic needle threader, listed at £189.00. It takes fifth place in this guide. Its own listing shows 4.6 out of 5 stars from 1,413 ratings, alongside a Best Sellers Rank of 214,274 in Home & Kitchen and 85th in Basic Sewing Machines — the same subcategory where the £89 Brother LS14S sits in first place.
Two numbers on the page are worth putting side by side. The star breakdown adds up to 100 reviews (74 five-star, 21 four-star, three three-star, one two-star and one one-star), while the headline figure next to it says 1,413 ratings. The listing also gives a manufacture year of 2007, so this is a long-running design rather than a recent one. Everything here comes from the Amazon listing as published, not from testing we carried out ourselves.
How those 1,413 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

Verified purchase“Lovely compact machine easy to operate and not too heavy. I have a bad back and can't lift anything too heavy but this is just perfect, the only problem was the instruction book was not in English I had to download an English version online.”
