This is just the latest China rip-off of America.
They dissected the tried and true Dometic unit and copied every aspect of it, down the the foam block used by Dometic for spacing.
They copy the unit, use cheap parts and labor and you get the Advent knock-off.
What do you think of the wonderful knock-off tires the chinamenese folks put out for the RV industry folks?
I don't doubt that the RV builders will go to the Advent, hey, it is put on the market to be cheaper, they always seem to go with the cheapest with these RV's. The China government will cut the price to undercut the Dometic.
Advent is made by the electronics company that makes Jensen products.
Jim I hope you go with the Dometic.
From the Internet:
Dometic is notifying consumers that its Brisk Air RV air conditioner and heat pump models appear to have been counterfeited by a Chinese company. According to a news release issued by Dometic Group, the models are being sold into the RV industry under the brand name Advent.
Brad Sargent, vice president of marketing of Elkhart, Ind.-based Dometic, said the Advent air conditioner “seems to be purposely made to look like our Brisk Air models at a glance in order to trick people into thinking it’s the same product.”
Dometic is evaluating its legal options against the Chinese company and the Advent product, the news release states. In the meantime, Dometic encourages consumers to use caution before purchasing these products.
“Dometic has made a long-term commitment to the industry through its people and operations,” said Doug Whyte, president of Dometic Americas. He urges consumers to be wary of products and organizations with no track record behind them.
