Product review (1 stars): You can't leave it alone!
NOTE that the people who wrote good reviews of this washer have not had them long, or they don't use it for 4 loads a week.  After 20+ uses, you'll see your clothes twisted up and tied in knotts -- you'll realize you have to stand by and watch this machine!!  Danby, among others, make portable machines with agitators in the middle...  acting more like a normal, full sized washers that homes have.
Also note that this has nothing to do with Avanti as a company -- the service is pretty good, at least on the phone.  It's just that their machines are crappy...
