Astonishingly good price. I've never seen it this low.
Lowest price on myshopping.com.au is $660-ish.
EDIT: Thanks ST, it's actually $379 + p/h here:

But that includes a vacuum sealer and bags! A much better deal.
Wow. Well done. I think I'll return mine to Myer.
Nice find. This one includes the vacuum sealer, so a better deal.
Same deal on scoopon also
Wow that's enough to almost make me regret getting a Sansaire!
Thanks for the heads up - been keeping an eye out for one of these for a while. The bonus vacuum sealer was hard to resist
Is this the same one Heston Blumenthal uses ?
Same tech. He would use commercial-grade machines in his restaurants.
He uses Polyscience units, at around $1500 each.
This deal is cheap for the item, but not worth the money. It's low powered, the temperature stability is iffy, and it relies solely on convection currents for temp homogenization. Plus it takes up a ton of benchspace.
Buy yourself an Anova or Sansaire for $200 and you have a far better machine for half the price.
Great deal. I'm wondering if this is on the way out like the sunbeam one.maybe it'll keep dropping in price until its gone.
Bah. All you need is an esky, a toast rack, thermometer, kettle, and some zip-lock bags.
I suspect that cooking your food in plastic bags may not be all that good for you. Wouldn't the high temperature cause the chemicals from the bag to leak into your food?
No.
probably not
Temperatures for Sous Vide cooking aren't that high.
Around 60 degrees for steak, for example.
No. And you should use BPA free bags anyways.
I wonder if this could be a great timesaver for school nights?
Prepare your food in bulk then vacuum seal and freeze it. Then each morning put your frozen food in the cooker (review says it can keep in the cooker for up to 24 hours without overcooking). Come home in the evening and your food is ready :)
Or does it not work with frozen food which has been vacuum sealed?
It does, but it's not really the best tool for the job if you just want to reheat premade meals. You might as well just use a microwave.
Plus, leaving food at serving temp for a whole day is just begging for a dose of botox.
What is it anyway?
does it come with the plastic vacuum wrapper and some wrapping?
