Husqvarna Viking HUSQVARNA VIKING ONYX 30
SewingSpecs does not sell and does not show shop prices: check the price where you buy.
The ONYX 30 is a Husqvarna Viking electronic machine for steady garment and small-project sewing, without a keypad full of functions. The needle threader is semi-automatic: you trigger it on demand with a control, and it can stay set for next time. The large LCD screen shows the basic information for the selected stitch.
Stitch width reaches 7 mm and length 4.5 mm, with 15 needle positions and a fully automatic one-step buttonhole in 9 styles. Presser foot pressure is adjustable, the feed teeth drop for darning or free-motion work, and the free arm helps with cuffs and trouser legs. The start/stop button lets you sew at a steady speed without the foot control.
Power input runs from 100 to 240V across different frequencies, so it works on different mains supplies without a transformer. It weighs 6.52 kg. It suits someone who sews often but is not looking for dual feed or the touchscreen of more advanced electronics.

Pros and cons
In favour
- The semi-automatic needle threader is triggered on demand, without repeating the motion every time
- The buttonhole is made in a single step, with 9 styles to choose from
- It weighs 6.52 kg: easy to move between a table and a sewing class source
- Power input from 100 to 240V lets it run on different mains supplies without a transformer
Worth knowing
- The presser foot lifts only 6 mm: little clearance for thick garments or several stacked layers
- The screen is an informational LCD, not a color touchscreen
