Industrial Embroidery Machine Review, Happy Japan HCU

[@CharlesThurber-rn4ge]

Thank you for your HCU2 review. For now, I have a Voyager3; next will be an HCU2, I've really enjoyed your presentations and look forward to seeing many more. Best regards, Charles Thurber, Mad Dawg Monograms, Oklahoma, USA

Glad you like them! Thank you for your comment!

Thanks for the review! She is a beauty. I received my HCS3 almost two weeks ago, and I absolutely love it. Designs that take 50 minutes to stitch on my Brother 6 needle only take 25 minutes on the Happy. 🤯 Someday I’ll get a 15 needle. 😊🙏🏽

[@ATMM514]

What was the price of that one?

[@karenhoney2232]

Hi Marie - I only had my Happy Japan HCS3 for 3 weeks and have a steep learning curve now. Very different from a single needle machine.Enjoy yours:)

[@-Maria-]

@@ATMM514 The machine is $9k USD plus taxes and shipping.

@@karenhoney2232 Thank you, Karen. I hope you’re enjoying yours. And yes, this machine is very different than a single needle, there’s a lot to learn.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I found the same thing! I still love using my 6 needle Brother for specific projects but in terms of general speed and versatility I love my 12 Needle Happys. If you do look at getting a 15 needle - have a look at their other 15 needle model the HCD3 too

[@clobbyhops]

I’m so glad I came across your video channel, thanks 🥰👍

[@dianelaws450]

I must admit....this is the best informative reveiw of the happy japans I have come across. At the moment I'm using a Brother V3 (single needle).The plan us to invest in a 12 needle in the next few months.

Hi... I am trying to decide between the Tajima tmez-s1501c or this one, any idea? Thanks

[@zoehunter2017]

I seem to have the same problem as you. 😂 how many happy japans can a squeeze into my tiny cottage. Just got the HCU omg he is a beast Love your vids

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

I’m always sure there’s room for one more 😂

[@zoehunter2017]

I bought my first single needle embroidery machine a year ago thanks to your advice, I am looking forward to get a multi needle now, but Happy Japan distributor here in my country is not as good as my current bernette distributor, unfortunately I would have to look to other options, I really love the design of Happy's and the touch screen is absolutely pleasant to see, very good designs and colors, anyway thanks for your reviews and I'm looking forward to see more videos!

[@booandmooplaytime524]

I am really interested in purchasing one of these but I have no idea about the software. I am currently using Brother so all my designs are in PES. Would I be able to convert those designs to use on the Happy? I am also concerned about repairs and servicing. There doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there!

[@rayruiz4505]

These happys can last 50 years bro … I got a 7 needle used and the things a beast … will be getting a 15 needle .

[@nojarai]

@@rayruiz4505how do you like it?

[@maylenespencer1059]

I need to learn more about this machine

[@loripratley6525]

Awesome review! I am starting to research which machine to purchase. It will be somewhat price dependent, but it looks like a Cadillac!

[@amandawebster9726]

My dealer in the US said this doesn’t come with standard laser? Any insight?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hi thank you for your comment. My machine is from Midwest Machinery in the UK it came with a point laser as standard with the option to upgrade to a cross hair laser, however I queried your question with my sales rep in the UK and he said that worldwide, other agencies differ and a lot of them do not add the point laser, but I would imagine you can get it as an optional extra

[@wekesaeunice5290]

Thx for the information, Am interested in the.macjine too. How can one contact you for further discussions. How long would I take to receive it in Uganda _ East African?

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hello! I don't sell these machines I just review them from a company in the UK called Midwest Machinery, if you are looking to purchase one I would recommend contacting Happy Japan directly and they can put you in touch with your local distributor.

[@memoali246]

Does this machine have auto tension like melco and the new tajima ?

[@avilessalcedo5555]

Price please

[@kcjd8659]

Do you have a video on the HCD?

[@MothusiLetsatsi-dd8qr]

Thanks very much i want buy one of those machines

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

No problem! They are very good machines.

[@vemprite5698]

Do you know if hat hoops work on any brothers multineedle if it's made for babylock/brother

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Hi! Thank you for your comment. I have a Brother PR655 and as far as I am aware the cap frame I purchased with that machine also works Brother 10 needle, I'd contact your local Brother/Babylock dealer to clarify

[@vemprite5698]

@@pinkbirdembroidery8281 awesome 👌 thanks for ur help

[@MindsFlayer21]

After 2 month of hcs3 I'm thinking seriously of buying this big one 😅

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

haha it's addictive isn't it! If you do look at getting a 15 needle - have a look at their other 15 needle model the HCD3 too. I haven't had a chance to review it yet but I hear it's a more "tired and tested" model the HCU is brilliant but relatively new tech

[@TableTennis-Hub]

how much ? thx

[@MindsFlayer21]

It's around 13500€

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

In the UK I believe this machine is £13995 ex. VAT

[@MindsFlayer21]

People ask for a video where the machine is running ahah

[@lorenzorodriguez8558]

accion no wiriwiri

[@szita2000]

Love your channel, but it really start to look like you advertising here.

[@pinkbirdembroidery8281]

Fair comment! I can see why you'd think that. Reviewing the Happy Japan machines all sort of started when I made the "10 needle Brother Vs 12 Needle Happy Japan" video which Midwest Machinery/Happy Japan saw and they've been sending me machines to review ever since. If other machine manufactures were to reach out I'd gladly review their machines too. I've always had a very positive experience with Happy Japan but if ever you have specific questions about the user experience of Happy Japan feel free to shoot me a message here or to my email and I can tell you more about it :)
