I recently tried out this precision cooker and was honestly blown away by how easy it made cooking a wide range of meals. From the moment I opened the package, it was clear that this device was built with quality in mind. The stainless steel construction gave it a solid, professional feel, and the large touchscreen interface was surprisingly intuitive. Setting the temperature and time was a breeze – just a few taps and I was on my way to cooking like a pro. One thing that stood out immediately was how quickly it heated up. I’ve used other models before that took longer to reach the desired temperature, but this one had no problem getting up to heat quickly, which is really important when you’re trying to cook multiple things in a time-sensitive manner. The pump design is also worth mentioning. It circulates water efficiently, ensuring that the heat is evenly distributed, so you don’t have to worry about hot or cold spots in your food. For me, this made a big difference, as I noticed my steaks, chicken, and even fish cooked more evenly than when I used other immersion circulators. In terms of size, the design is compact enough to store easily, but large enough to handle a decent batch of food, which is especially helpful if you're cooking for more than just yourself. The display is clear and bright, even in a dimly lit kitchen, and the touchscreen is responsive to the touch. It’s not overly complicated like some other devices out there, making it approachable for both beginners and experienced home cooks. Another feature that I found particularly helpful was the timer. Having a countdown clock makes it much easier to keep track of things, especially when you’re cooking longer meals. You’re not left guessing how much longer things will take, which gives you more control over your cooking times. The quality of the pump is another reason why I’d recommend this to anyone. Unlike some other models that struggle to circulate water consistently, it does a great job keeping everything moving, even when the water level is a bit low. The pump seems really durable too, and I've had no issues with it stalling or having trouble during my cooking sessions. It also operates fairly quietly compared to others that I’ve used, which was a relief, especially when you’re cooking in a small kitchen space. What really sold me on this precision cooker, however, was its versatility. I’ve used it for various types of meat, vegetables, and even eggs, and it performs exceptionally well across the board. With other products, I’ve sometimes been disappointed by how they handle different types of ingredients, but this one never let me down. It cooked everything evenly, with perfect texture and flavor every time. The food just tastes better, like it’s been cooked in a restaurant. I also found it relatively easy to clean, which is always a concern with any kitchen appliance. I was worried about the pump or the immersion tube being tricky to clean, but it was really simple to wipe down and rinse off. The parts are removable, which made cleaning even easier. The only downside I can think of is that the device could benefit from a better clamp system to secure it to the side of the pot. While the clamp is functional, I found it a bit tricky to get it positioned correctly the first few times. It’s not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you have a smaller or non-standard sized pot. In terms of value for the price, I’d say it’s worth it. You get a lot of performance for what you pay, and it’s definitely not a throwaway gadget. It’s a long-term investment that’s going to last you. If you’re considering getting into sous vide cooking or upgrading your current setup, this is a solid choice. The features, combined with the ease of use and reliability, make it stand out in a crowded market. Whether you’re preparing a meal for one or cooking for a group, it’s a dependable tool that makes precision cooking less intimidating and more accessible. I also appreciated that it was so easy to use with minimal preparation. I simply filled up the pot, set the temperature, and placed the ingredients in a bag. No need to worry about overcooking, and the food was always cooked perfectly. For those who may be new to sous vide cooking, don’t worry about any complex steps. The instructions are clear, and you’ll have everything you need to get started without confusion. If you’re into cooking and want a convenient, efficient, and powerful sous vide cooker, I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s quickly become a go-to tool in my kitchen, and I can’t imagine cooking without it. From its quick heat-up time to the reliable pump system, it’s everything you need to cook your favorite dishes with precision and ease. Whether it’s a juicy steak or perfectly cooked vegetables, this cooker delivers consistent, professional results every time.

It's very easy to use, controls are intuitive, display is very easy to read. Have used for 30 hours steak with no issues on runtime or keeping the temperature. It circulates the water very well and heats up even to higher temps remarkably fast.It does have a larger than average footprint but is still useable in a 12qt CamSquare with room to fit 4 big bags with good circulation room around them. Had to do a custom lid cut out since there is nothing already out there this shape that I could see but with the lid on, you can run it many many hours and the waterline barely budges in my super low humidity area. I am pretty new to sous vide but I wanted something durable and so far this seems like it has great build quality, I will update if it fails unreasonable early. For this pricing I expect it to last a couple years at least.

I ordered this sous vide precision cooker to replace a smaller, stick-type sous vide cooker that clips onto the edge of a pot or tank.This sous vide precision cooker is much more robust, stable, and durable than almost all the others I see on the market, and at 1400 watts, is more powerful than most others, too.One of the things I like most about this circulator is that it sits stable on the counter and clamps onto your pot or tank to create a very stable cooking unit that won't fall over or slip out of place like the stick type can.My stock pot is in use, so I used a stainless steel bucket to test out this new circulator/cooker.The whole unit is very simple to use and performs very well. There aren't a lot of frills. You just set the temperature you want it to reach and press the start button. When it reaches that temperature, it will beep to let you know it's ready to add your vacuum sealed package. If you want to set a cooking time, it will beep at you again when that cooking time has elapsed. You need to turn it off by pressing the start/stop button.The temperature was accurate when compared to my instant-read probe thermometer. Both the cooker and my probe thermometer showed 125 degrees Fahrenheit at 12 minutes after starting the cooker. The water started at 60 degrees Fahrenheit.The water circulator moves more water faster than my smaller stick-type circulator, too. In the photos you can see the waves created by the circulation.One other feature I like is that the cover can be easily removed by unscrewing two thumb screws that allows the bottom steel cage to slide off to enable cleaning of the circulator and heating element.I like the overall design and durability of this unit, but it is lacking some features that may be important to some folks.1. It does not work with a phone app to monitor or control it. It is strictly manually controlled at the unit.2. It does not shut off automatically after the cook time elapses. It only beeps to let you know it's done.3. It is more expensive than many units on the market, but it also feels much more durable than others.Overall, I really like this unit for its simplicity, durability, and stable design, including the way it connects so easily to almost any type of stock pot or even a bucket to create a stable cooker. An app to control the cooker would be nice, but once you set the cook temp, there really isn't anything to adjust. But it would be nice to shut it off remotely when the cook time is done. If you can live without an app, and don't mind the price tag, this is a great quality cooker/circulator that will handle your sous vide needs with aplomb.
