I meant close to $1000 USD. I still can't wrap my head around writing monetary figures here. haha So, yes...maintenance is cheaper it seems. I wish this would have happened a few years back. I think there were units like mine available for around $200USD. I've contacted someone that works for the company as suggested above and turns out that's who those next door used (their dueño was in the hall yesterday so I was able to shake him down and ask). So, hoping nothing too disastrous and can be a maintenance issue rather than a 'buy a whole new unit' issue. Thanks again for your replies/help.You are lucky to find units for $100 K . Here the unit in promo at Frabega is worth $ 600 k
