Product review (5 stars): I highly recommend this Avanti washer
I bought this Brand/style and size Avanti while I was still single. I always loved the way my clothes spun out almost dry! At first I double checked to see if they had gotten wet at all! Clothes never tangled up (no dasher) and it was so economical for water use and they dried quickly. My favorite washer I ever had. After I married, my husband wanted to buy me a new full size Bosch washer and dryer. I stalled him for several years but gave in when we got the new house. I gave the Avanti washer to a single friend and other than a few minor repairs, she enjoyed it for another 10 years.

I did change out the drain system and hoses on my Avanti to a regular washer's size from Lowe's. Being on wheels and small, it's easy to clean under.
If I figure right, the Bosch is 10 yrs old and I hear it growling when it spins. If I have to replace it, this model is what I will buy. The only problem I can see is king size quilts and comforters do not fit this machine, as well as larger throw rugs.
