Got my camera working guys, so here's a few pics of the Avanti portable washer.

WASHING-NORMAL CYCLE

 

[gejohn]

Empty tub. "Pulsator" agitator offers wide variety of wash actions during different cycles. Water sprays from slots at top of tub during all cycles except "Delicates".

Looks just like my Haire inside! Nice machine!

 

[gejohn]

I believe it's made by "HAIER"

Another neat machine...I like the way Haier has brought back recirculation and an active lint filter in their impeller washers. Those side spray nozzles are cool as well, especially the way they work. Vanes mounted on the bottom of the wash impeller pump the water up to the jets and lint filter during each rotation.

Thanks for the info Austin. I wondered how that water recirculated. Have to use a low-suds detergent on most cycles. This is a great little machine (actually, it's not that little), but I DO have to use the "DELICATES" (not the "GENTLE") cycle for things I don't want knotted-up as the machine uses short fast agitator strokes instead of big long, deep power strokes to turn over the laundry on that cycle. Handles a lot of clothes too.

O-o-o-o-o-o-oh, nice and splashy! Fun to watch, I'll bet. Thanks for posting the pics.

Whoops, forgot to ask something: If you don't mind, would you tell me how much you paid for it?

I bought it online for 289.00 from ETRONICS.COM out of NY. They were fantastic to do business with. With shipping, the total came to about 345.00, and it was delivered to my door here in Phoenix, AZ via DHL in about 4 or 5 days. I was amazed. I would definitely reccomend them. Machine was in original factory packaging-pretty good size machine at that.

John that looks like such a fun little washer. Do you use it often or just for special things? Thanks for sharing with us. Terry

I use all the washers for different things. That particular machine is best for mixed loads of different items. If you fill it with all the same stuff (like bath towels) they tend to knot up more. I've never tried it for jeans, although there is a "JEANS" cycle, or blankets (yes, there's a "BLANKETS" cycle) but I imagine I will sometime. It's really a super machine. It's great for uniform shirts (I work at the Post Office). It works along the same lines as my full-size LG-Built GE HARMONY washer, but with more water. (I add more to the HARMONY during fill-up) I use it about once/wk.

John, how does she do with water extraction? Is it a high speed spin?

 

[Acerone]

I also bought mine from ETRONICS.COM

 

[gejohn]

Yes, Andrew, it spins very fast. Like my other HAIER washer, it sort of "kick-starts" the spin cycle after draining, then after about a minute of this, goes directly into a high speed extract. You can choose 1 or 2 rinses, and also a separate "SPRAY RINSE" if you want. If you choose the "SPRAY RINSE" option, it'll do that before the other deep rinses. Of course, now you've added another 10 minutes or so to the wash time. Like my full-sized GE HARMONY washer, it'll run FOREVER if you want it too. I love this little machine. It's so versatile and has so many options. It's a trip!!!
