Rank #3 in Best Sewing Machines: 10 Ranked, and One 'Best Seller' That Isn't
Singer 3232 Sewing Machine, White and Lavender
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Singer 3232 is a mains-powered sewing machine in white and lavender, priced at £199.00 and placed third in this guide. Its listing carries 2,161 ratings at 4.4 out of 5, and the rating breakdown it publishes runs 71 at five stars, 18 at four, 4 at three, 2 at two and 5 at one — numbers that add up to exactly 100, which is how an Amazon breakdown usually reads when the individual figures are percentages rather than counts.
What the same listing does not carry is a sales rank to match its review history. The Best Sellers Rank shown on the page is 165,114th in Home & Kitchen and 93rd in Sewing Machines — the same gap between a big rating count and a modest ranking that runs through this article. Two more numbers on the page are worth reading against each other: the 32 built-in stitches break down exactly as advertised (six basic, six stretch, 19 decorative and one buttonhole), but the stated dimensions of 6.7 x 9.4 x 11.8 cm sit oddly beside the stated weight of 5.8 kg. The listing also quotes a two-year manufacturer's warranty and spare parts availability for seven years. Everything on this page is taken from the Amazon listing; we have not tested this machine ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“This sewing machine is very easy to use and the speed is easy to control with the foot pedal. The only downside that I have found is that the sewing machine needles that I already have, which are not Singer needles, do not fit the machine, so I have had to buy a whole load more needles that are Singer ones. (I had about half a dozen of each and every size, for all types of fabric. So that was an extra expense, and it held up my project whilst I waited for them).”
Verified purchase“Has lots of stitches to choose from. Have sewn literally hundreds of items now for friends and family and more. I also prefer the mechanical controls as opposed to computerised buttons, since the mechanical is a simpler and obvious fix.”
