wider choice of machines and functions available, at a much lower price.  In
theory running such a machine in Europe with a transformer (the current is
usually 220 - 240V) should not be a problem.  However, a friend mentioned
that someone she knows told her that her machines don't do well at all.  Has
anyone got any experiences they could share?

Andreas - I would steer clear of trying to use a bread machine through a
transformer.  We moved to South Africa from Canada (quite a few years ago I
admit) and brought with us some appliances which we intended to run through
a transformer.  The frying pan NEVER got up to anywhere near the correct
heat.  My sewing machine also runs much slower than it should.  Maybe there
are better transformers around now but you may end up having a bread machine
which really doesn't work at all, so it won't be less expensive!
