My question exactly as well as 1) how much do they cost in the States? (I
will be in Montana, camping close to Kalispell, in the summer and would like
to get one there if possible).  2) how much do they cost in Canada?  3)what
are the department stores that carry the brands suggested?

I bought one last weekend and thought I had the one with a kneading arm
cause the manual said so,  but when I got around to unpacking the actual
machine, the manual did not belong in this box, no kneading arm, just a
paddle in the bottom. I thought what the heck I'll try a dough cycle, what a
disaster.  Some of the flour wasn't even mixed together so I had to add some
liquid knead it by hand and let is raise and then just made breadsticks as
soup dippers.  At least the kids liked them. The machine goes back today and
I will wait till I hear from the list.
