It is sold in the US under the Elite Gourmet brand, model EBM-8103B. I found one brand new at a thrift shop two months ago for $14. It's an ok machine, good for basic sandwich bread. Not so good for denser recipes, though. I mosly use it to make jam, which it does superbly.

Bakes a good basic sandwich loaf and makes excellent jam. For $14 you've got an endless supply of jam sandwiches. Can't go wrong. Must say, from what I saw, it made a nice French white loaf, wasn't too impressed with the other denser recipes and intrigued by the rice bread.

Thanks, Abe, fun to watch while my weekly bread is in the oven.
