I must lead a sheltered life. I have only seen one, and that was
at a wedding reception. I have never seen one for sale anywhere.
I would consider that as a gift for the man or woman who had
everything, and lots of extra storage space. Anyone who is
thinking of one should hold off for a while. Pretty soon they
will be able to pick one up on a yard sale along with all the
unused bread machines, ice cream makers and waffle irons.
