User Review (by Trish)

I’m giving this a Poor review instead of Useless because it did run well for 5 years. Then all of a sudden, right after the compressor warranty expired, the compressor and/or control board stopped working.

So here I am in the middle of a hot, steamy July, and I find that MY WINE IS COOKED.

The internal temp. was 96 degrees. I had a nice collection and am still sick about it. Avanti doesn’t even make the compressor for this model anymore. Nice way to support your products, huh? NEVER. EVER. AGAIN. Rot in hell, Avanti.

Rating: two star rating (Poor)
