I don't use vacuum sealer though, all I use is ziplock bag + water displacement method to get the air out.

I think that any vacuum sealer from taobao.com would work. If they didn't require special bags to seal them, I'd have definitely bought a vacuum sealer. If I am not mistaken, the bags cost even more than ziplock bags and that is why I didn't buy a vacuum sealer at the end.

I have two sandwich size silicone bags bought from Anova as well but they are so small I still have to use ziplock bags as I mainly cook meats with bone with my Anova. I think they have came out with something bigger now, I am going to buy one soon.

Reason I bought them is because silicone doesn’t release harmful substances even if you boil it at 100 degree Celsius (I could be wrong) as I am a bit skeptical with how people claim that normal plastic bags don’t release harmful substances after it has been heated.

I think it’s because they mentioned the word cooker on the invoice and the closest thing they can find with cooker on their tax rate table with the word cooker on it is rice cooker and that is why.

Rice cooker’s duty rate is different compare to other electrical appliances and I was charged the rice cooker rate so I remember and DHL told me I must pay them the duty as they have already paid the custom so like you, there is nothing I could do there.

I have already told Anova the issue and suggest that they call it immersion heater on the invoice instead as there is no import duty for immersion heater in April 2017 but I think they just don’t care.

I don’t think Anova will declare it as a gift for you by the way as they are not some sellers on Ebay, correct me if I am wrong on this one.

Edit: It’s 20% like you said if I remember correctly. Duty for other electrical appliances are lower compare to rice cooker, I am not sure why though.

Stay away from this Codlo device because it sucks.

My friend recommended me this one when he bought it as it’s made by our own Malaysian and thank god I didn’t buy it at the time as I don’t have time to do so at the moment.

After only a few months usage, the start button stops working and my friend raise the issue to the company and they send him a replacement unit and the replacement unit’s screen stops working after 2 weeks usage. He got so fed up he doesn’t even bother to talk to the company anymore.

I got an Anova instead of Codlo after that because of the price.

He got an Anova after my recommendation but now he is using a China brand sous vide device as it’s cheaper and unlike Anova that doesn’t cut off the power after the time’s up, the China brand one does. It’s only 200 ringgit plus if I remember correctly.
