Similar to the ones sold here through KMart. Regularly available for about AUD$350-400 (USD$245-280) If you look at the machine in the 'owners' manual on the link you provided and then look a the LHS of the machine on the ebay link I have provided, they look very similar. I personally am not a fan of impeller machines...but there will be others that are. CLICK HERE TO GO TO ronhic's LINK on eBay |

It is my experience with these machines that they tend to tangle clothes, be very very rough and cause things to fray very quickly. These machines do NOT operate like the Whirlpool Cabrio, Kenmore Oasis, Maytag Bravos machines. The impeller in those machines moves at nearly the normal pace of a wide arc agitator. (nice and slow) These Avanti (and many other apartment size topload impeller washers) wash very differently. Instead their impeller move at about if not the same speed as the machine spins, often 700-800 RPM in my experience and looks much like a toilet flushing while operating. I would not recommend getting one of these machines! Go with the front loader!!!
