Not fit Singer Heavy Duty 4423/HD6605C

I have a Singer Heavy Duty 4423 & a Singer Heavy Duty HD6605c & both have broken after 6months of infrequent use. The 4423 issue was to do with the timing after going through x3 layers of denim which put the timing out & it had to go back to be fixed so I was without a machine for a couple of weeks. I bought a second machine a Singer Heavy Duty HD6605C but hardly used it apart from button holes. I always thought it was a bit hit & miss using reverse stitch as it would often ignore me pressing the reverse button but yesterday while patching some pants I had to hit reverse a few times to go back over the patch & then suddenly the machine just jammed & jammed as in error code on the screen & the no movement in the hand-wheel. I’m now trying to contact the Singer repair company who finish at 4pm & turn the phones off at lunchtime.These machines are not cheap & are supposed to be heavy duty, I was patching x2 layers of linen yesterday when the machine jammed, any cheap little machine would have no problem with that. My machine with the timing issue the 4423 well this is common problem apparently when the needle hits the plate it puts the timing out & according to YouTube is a common problem & the machine needs to go in to be reset but now after looking at YouTube again yesterday when my other machine broke the jamming thing due to the reverse button is also a thing with the full computerised machines. The HD6605C is a £500 machine & it jams while using a reverse! I’m afraid if these machines break again which I suspect they will they are going in the bin as they are obviously not up to the job & not fit for the purpose they were made for. Before I bought the machines I saw glowing reviews now I think those reviews were placed & paid for & I’m annoyed at being taken in by them
