Aldi have them every few months, but they might be a bit OTT for your purpose.  The external dimensions are roughly 38 x 15 x 7 cm. I think the price is around $50 .
The heating element is 27cm long. It's a vacuum sealer, but the vacuum part is optional.

Identical to this one:

I mainly use it for doing up frozen vegies.

So it's on high and it doesn't put a mark (melt) on the plastic even when the light goes on?

I see the seller will except returns but yeah prolly cost more than it's worth to post back.  I'll get pop to look it over.
Someone once gave me a cheap toaster as a pressy.  It didn't work from day one, so I got my dad to check it and it was only a wire not connected.  It turned out to be the best toaster I ever had. So it's worth a look.

thanks for that nevol.  I might just consider that if pop can't get this one working.

These things are not exactly rocket science. Its probably a loose or broken wire, easily fixable.
