I used this to replace the clutch motor on my Singer 331k1, which was a fairly easy process. It required switching from a 42¨belt down to a 40¨ as well. I have since sold this machine, but I did love the incredible piercing power and ability to slow down the speed, though I was never able to achieve the 'stitch-by-stitch' control as was demonstrated in the Sailrite videos. This may have been a problem with how my foot pedal was configured though. It was also a little noisier than I expected, but nothing compared to running a clutch motor.

I added the Workhorse to my Singer 20u. Removed the 60lb clutch assembly and installed the 5lb Workhorse.The difference is now like, a row boat vs speed boat, day and night.This machine will get used a lot more as I have more control over it now.The hardest part of the conversion was lifting out the old clutch assembly.The online videos and manual are a plus.

Hello the motor is great I know there's a lot of good reviews and I know it's very dependable. A few of my friends who work in the sewing industry uses them. So when I opened the box and started the motor up. The spindle was spinning... not true. And I know overtime with heavy use that can affect the performance and durability of the motor and the spindle. If you are a home sewer or hobbyist. You really don't have nothing to worry about. But if you're in the sewing industry and you use that motor for business. It can really affect your sewing production down the line. I reached out to sailrite but with no reply. But I know and have friends that tell me that you guys have great customer service. So please help me with this matter. I plan on purchasing more Motors.

Hi, We are so sorry we missed your support case. As soon as I saw this review I heard from Brian (CSR manager) that the support case somehow did not get answered. Brian will be in touch today to get you a new motor and pick that one up (it won't cost you a thing). The shaft should never be bent in any way. We are sorry this happened to you. Best Regards, Matt Grant with Sailrite

I just added this motor to my Singer 16-188 - it's AMAZING! So much power at a slow speed. What a great motor. Thanks Sailrite.

I deliberated between the Work Horse servo motor and the 1hp Consew model which was less expensive, more powerful and had remote switch/speed control, yet the 2 year warranty swung me toward the Work Horse..

Why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
