Product review (2 stars): Really Cheap Machine for a Reason
I have a number of these machines in rental apartments.  When they work, they work well.  Like most Chinese stuff, they are cheap, unreliable and difficult to service.  The controls are all electronic.  If they break, throw out the machine.  Parts are readily available, but only by phone through Avanti in Florida.  IF you are used to going on line or to an appliance parts guy to get parts, forget it.  Call Avanti, wait on hold for an hour and have a Spanish translator help you order.  Everything about this machine is junky, down to the hoses.  The connections tend to leak, the drain hose wears holes in it, and the tops crack.

As I said, when they work, they are neat little machines.  But I have spent way too much time repairing these and awaiting parts to every buy another Avanti product.  Now I know why they are cheap.  Chinese.
