Consew 2050?

[Cumberland Highpower]

I am curious about the Consew 2050 sewing machines.

I've owned a few Consews over the years (Seikos made in Japan).  And I'm curious about the current model 2050.    The price tag on the new machines seems pretty high, (compared to some imports) leading me to wonder if these 2050s are made in Japan?  Are they made in Japan or China?  If they're Chinese are they same machines sold by Weaver/etc and just painted blue?  Anyone have any thoughts on these machines?

Have you considered a 'Cowboy 4500' or another brand and compared costs?

Isn't the Consew 2050 a clone of an Adler 205 where the Cowboy 4500 is a clone of the Juki 441?

Glenn,your close,the upper part looks like an Adler BUT the lower is like a 441,Weaver tried them years ago & ended up sending them back to Consew they had some problems with them IDK if has been resolved it yet or not.

Interesting Bob....

Handstitched I am mostly just curious.  I'd pick up another machine to have if I could get a quality machine made in Germany/Japan  Just looking at the Consew 2050 as I feel like there is a chance it's not made in China.  Wasn't too long ago they sold Seiko stitchers with a Consew label. I can still order Juki 441's but I never was real fond of them.  I do have Adlers including a 205 currently.

Is there a quality issue with sewing machines made in China?

I thought all of the 441 clones were made in China.  I've never heard anything bad about them.

Bob,

Actually Weaver got the Weaver 2050  thru Atlanta Attachment.  Golden Wheel made them.  They sent 40 some back because of problems.  The whole thing was a real shit show for Weaver. By the way, Allen

Burkholder has retire from Weaver effective July24th.  On his own.

Shoepatcher you mentioned Weaver's 2050, are you saying they are the same machine that Consew is selling? Or are you just correcting Bob?

Nope

I suggest you do a little asking around about the Cowboy and Cobra machines so many people on this website own.
