Marta,
I have a Magic Mill III Plus, which I recently bought to replace my
Magic Mill II which was given to my wife and me as a wedding present.
Since we received the MM II 16 years ago (plus two days :-)), it held up
well through use a couple of times a week for over 15 years of making
whole wheat bread. When it finally died, I called them and sent it back,
although they had told me that they probably wouldn't have parts for it
if it needed any. Sure enough, they couldn't fix it, but they offered me
a new machine at wholesale (their policy if they can't fix one), so any
thoughts of alternative machines disappeared. I had looked into the
Whisper Mill though, and the obviously not disinterested woman at Magic
Mill told me that the reason they're quieter is heavy insulation, which
means more heat, which means quicker failure. I took it with a grain of
salt, but it does stand to reason. Their address is:
Magic Mill Products and Appliances
354 S. Mountain Way Dr.
Orem UT 84058
I _think_ this runs about $250 list.
Lehman's has 11 different mills (!) with a comparison chart of speed,
effort needed, etc. They're at:
P.O. Box 41
Kidron OH 44636

They have a fantastic catalog of hardware and appliances which I highly
recommend.
Good baking!
