For a sewing machine with an automatic thread cutter, start with the Elna eXperience 560 or 570α, JUKI HZL-HT740, and Brother Innov-is F560. Their manufacturers identify a built-in cutter or auto thread trimming function. None of the available information establishes a tested winner, so choose by the projects and other features you need—not by the cutter alone.
What an automatic thread cutter does
An automatic thread cutter trims thread through a machine control, rather than requiring you to reach for scissors after a seam. Elna describes its cutter as button-operated; JUKI identifies both an auto thread trimming function and a thread cutter button. The manufacturer descriptions confirm the controls, but do not quantify time saved or establish how cut quality compares between models.

How to choose for your projects
Begin with what you sew most often: garments, quilts, decorative work, or a mix of household projects. Then compare the whole machine against that work. A cutter is convenient, but it does not tell you whether the machine’s work area, controls, stitch options, or other capabilities suit your projects.
