I got so excited about this machine so I have been following all along. Reason behind my excitement is that I love to have garma garm roti but that is not possible all the time.
It was a direct sale by the company. When they opened it for sale they booked 500,000 pre-orders at a price of 999 dollars each.

In the United States, California was the most popular location for the Rotimatic, followed by New Jersey, Texas and New York.
So my SIL BFF said she purchased one and it was so great.
I showed my SIL this article, and asked her if she had seen this machine in person as apparently it’s not available till 2015.
Turns out her BFF was telling her friends and all a major whopper, and kinda got caught doing so via this article.
Well there was just an email sign up on their website many months ago, and they said they would contact me when it’s ready to be sold to the general public.
It gets the man to set the table and do everything in the kitchen for his wife. 1000 bucks isn’t too bad if it can do all that too along with creating round rotis after a long day’s work
