Anyone here know anything about sewing machines? [View all]

I'm looking to purchase my wife a new sewing machine as a gift, and a friend of mine who's done a LOT of sewing suggested this: http://www.ebay.com/ctg/Brother-CS6000i-Computerized-Sewing-Machine-/64056208

Does anyone have any input on this brand? What is Ebay's return policy if my wife doesn't like it?

Thanks!
