I Love Love my Accolade. Easy to thread the loopers with the AIR. I use mine mostly for sewing on the binding on quilts, to get the loose thread fabric contained in the stitches so it doesn't unravel. I know your sewing machines can do this also, but this is so much easier and faster. I still hand stitch the binding to the back. Just my preference in how it looks on quilts. If you don't have a serger, get one and make sure its a Babylock.

Very user friendly
I have never used an overlocker or cover stitch before I purchased this a year ago. I wanted to make my own t- shirts that did not look Bonne made so I wanted a cover stitch machine AND an overlocker. I needed it idiot proof too since I am not tech savvy. Well I switch back and forth between cover stitch, various overlook stitches, throughout a single sewing project with ease. I tell you it takes no more than 5 minutes to thread the machine and the auto tension superb. I do not have the tension issues I see do many people have. Thank goodness because I would never be able to figure that out. The only complaint I have is the flimsy pedal. I have another brand swing machine and am used to the substantial, weighted foot. This foot is a flimsy plastic that flips over, etc. Obviously not a game changer but I think that is my only complaint. That is why I did not give it 5 stars.
