Did you received your new Anatol Volt yet? How is it working out for you so far? I was going for the Brown Electraprint Jr. since it was all electric.

Hey Anthony, We did get our Volt in and have had it up and running for about 6 weeks. Here is my full disclosure review. The sales transaction was all very smooth with Anatol, we didn't do financing, so I cannot speak to how that process goes, but they gave us plenty of time to ask questions and to work with us on getting the right machine for our needs. I will say the delivery time time took a little longer than projected because it got held up in customs and then the logistics company doing the physical delivery might have been the most inept logistics company I've ever seen. That aside, the Volt finally got in and got set up.
The assembly and leveling all went very smooth, and Mel and the other techs were absolutely awesome. There were some technical issues that were causing problems actually getting it up and running, but Mel and her team stayed and worked along with the Anatol tech support until they got all the bugs worked out, which took about 2 days.
Since then, the machine has been an absolute beast. We've been running it 8-10 hours/day since then with not a single problem. There are so many positives about this machine. First, no air compressor, chiller. Related to that, the machine is incredibly quiet - honestly our dryer puts out more noise than the Volt. It's also really easy to use. If you can operate a smart phone or iPad, then this machine will be no problem.
Basically, it's fast, easy, quiet, and we haven't had any issues since the install techs left. We absolutely love this machine, and would not hesitate to purchase another one when the time comes.
For the record we looked at the Brown, the M&R machines, the Workhorse, and several others. Ultimately, we felt where Anatol is going with the Volt from a technology perspective, is where the industry will be going over the next 5-10 years. So far, we feel great about our decision.
Good luck in your search for the right automatic.
