This Italian made machine is a nice machine. I have been working on appliances since 1977 so I've seen it all. Well built, a little difficult to work on but ther's a lot of tricks you learn as you go, and from other techs also. As to the review mentioning missing detergent canister: It's shown on the diagrams only for illustrative purposes. Your chemical company sells you liquid detergent in 1-3.5-5-6-15 gallon buckets. THEY are the so-called canister. A bit of a literal translation is causing that mis-interpretation. "Detergent canister" is better translated as: "detergent container by others". I get very few calls on these units, the parts prices are reasonable, and the labor isn't very high in number of hours to complete a repair.
