1. None of the bread makers available are domestic, if domestic means
made in the UK or even made in the EU... All are made in the 'far
east' these days.

2. The 'best' brand available is the zojirushi, BUT this company does
NOT sell bread makers in Europe or Africa.

3. Look at
http://www.consumersearch.com/www/ki...nes/index.html
for a good review of machines available on the west side of the pond.

There are several brands sold in the U.K. Ideally you want one that is
programmable as the Zo is, or as the eSalton Breadman is... so that
you can go beyond the preprogrammed cycles when you need to. I have
NOT discovered one of those sold in the U.K. however.

Good luck with buying one in the U.K. You might want to see if you can
find a Zojirushi dealer in the U.K. and ask them if they can get a
bread maker for you. I suspect the problem is the plug and wiring, and
lack of approvals for the U.K. electrically.

FWIW
