The Foot pedal is quite lightweight compared to an original foot pedal.
It does work, but the cord is very light weight as well.
The cord is smaller than a light fixture cord.
I had to have my husband put a new plug on the foot control. The prongs had the same shape and fell out of the wall or any powerstrip they were plughed into.
A nice plug and play attachment for my White Classic 212 sewing machine. Just put the foot pedal together and plug in the machine and any outlet, then you are up and running.
