That's a Twinbird electric coffee siphon, which should at least be usable in US households. I can't seem to find any real distributors, these machines are mostly on ebay or other auction sites. So the answer is yes, you can buy them, but they might be used or something.

Are you looking for that EXACT vac brewer or ANY vac brewer? Vac pots are very common and they come in stove top and electric heating element counter models, then there are the ones that use heat lamps and those that use a candle or a lamp for table coffee brewing service.

Currently there is no US distributor, but can be purchased from Taiwanese or Japanese websites. Taiwan uses same US 110v, so it might be a better choice.
The glass is made by Hario, in case one cares.
This website ships internationally for USD$10 if the item weighs less than 5kg. At approximately USD$150 new, not an unreasonable deal.
