Product review (5 stars): Terrific Washer
I have used a Danby Twin Tub Washer for the last 6 years, and I really loved it, but felt a little bit like I was a slave to the washer. When the timer broke and I couldn't get a replacement part I went looking for a new one, only to discover that they were coming out with a replacement model that wasn't available yet, so I started looking for automatic machines.

After a lot of research I chose this Avanti, partially because I have one of their small chest freezers, which has been fantastic.

I have had this washer for 3 weeks now, and I couldn't be more pleased (well it could have been free - that would have pleased me more.)

The machine does a very good job of getting things clean, will take a full set of queen sized sheets with ease, and is ridiculously quiet. Even when it is spinning I cannot hear it unless I am standing right next to it.

As others have said the included hoses are crap. I picked up a 4 foot replacement hose at Lowes for $4, and got a brass 90 degree elbow adapter for about 3. I also ordered a quick connect adapter for the faucet rather than trying to screw it on and off all the time. No leaks whatsoever. The adapter is a Claber 8587 Quick-Fit Tap Connector Set - I bought it from Amazon, but the Insert a link can't find it.

Others have mentioned that clothes tend to tangle due to the agitatorless design. I can see how that would happen, but since I tend to put everything in wash bags (or mesh laundry bags for larger items) this hasn't been an issue. I did wash some jeans and didn't put them in bags and didn't have a problem.

The only negatives I would mention is that if you want to do a rinse only cycle it will attempt to drain, and will spin before filling for the rinse. I wish there was a way to avoid that.

Also, the casters are largely useless, but the machine isn't very heavy and is easy to pick up and move. I have a sprained ankle and strained achilles (happened the day the machine arrived) and am using a cane right now, but have still managed to move the machine the 7 feet or so back and forth to the sink.

Other than that I have no complaints, and I highly recommend this machine. I no longer feel like I am a slave to the washer, now the washer serves me

Update:

I have had the machine for almost a year now, and it is still going strong. I very highly recommend this machine.
