Knitting machines sold under the Artisan brand are clones of Japanese vintage machines still manufactured by a Chinese company, Creative. Thus, a lot of Artisan knitting machines look similar to Singer/Silver Reed/Studio machines, like patterning drums in their punchcard-capable machines. I will not be reviewing these machines: I will just provide basic information.
