I am sure that a similar machine can be found in the US. Beware though that many models are made out of plastic and not strong enough to deal with chestnuts, only soft fruits. The one on that link is made of cast iron and stainless steel. It changed my attitude come chestnut season!
Now all I need is a decent hand machine to score the chestnut prior to cooking!
