A 3- and 4-thread overlocker sold with an extension table and three additional feet included. One reference across all five European markets, absent from the US.
The bottom line The bundle is the argument: an extension table and three feet in the box are purchases you would otherwise make within a month.
Hands-on testing pending. Everything below is either a manufacturer specification, cited as such, or something we verified ourselves.
What we verified. The reference B075THTBBY designates this overlocker on
amazon.de, .fr, .it, .es and .co.uk, confirmed on EAN. It is absent from
amazon.com.
We also found an oddity worth recording: Amazon files this listing under Computers & Accessories › Printers. That is a categorisation error on Amazon’s side rather than anything to do with the machine, but it is the sort of thing that affects how a product is found and how it is treated commercially, so we note it rather than quietly ignore it.
What the manufacturer states. A 3- to 4-thread overlocker supplied with an extension table and three additional presser feet. Listed weight 7.0 kg.
Why the bundle matters more than it looks. An extension table and a set of specialist feet — typically a blind hem, a gathering and an elasticator foot — are the two things overlocker owners buy in the first month, and separately they cost a meaningful fraction of the machine. Getting them in the box is a genuine saving rather than a marketing one.
Where we would look before buying. The threading method. Threading is the single reason overlockers end up unused, and this listing does not say whether the loopers are colour-coded lay-in or require tweezers and a diagram. We will not guess: it is the first thing we will check with the machine in front of us.

Only if you sew knits or want bought-garment seam finishes. A sewing machine can zigzag a raw edge and it will hold; an overlocker trims, encloses and stitches in one pass, and does it on stretchy fabric without waving. If you sew woven garments and finish seams with pinking shears or a zigzag, you can wait.
Four threads give a seam and an overlock edge at once, which is what you want for constructing knit garments. Three threads give an edge finish, which is what you want for neatening a seam allowance on a woven. Machines that do both, like this one, cover the normal range of home use.
