I recently purchased the Greater Goods Sous Vide Machine and i'm honestly impressed. For the price, you really cant beat it. I've never used a sous vide before, and this one was super easy to setup and use right outta the box. The controls are simple, just a dial you turn to set the temp and time, no complicated apps or wifi needed which is a huge plus for me.I've cooked steak and chicken so far, and both came out absolutly perfect. The meat was so tender and juicy, it's like resturant quality food at home. The machine heats up the water pretty quickly and keeps the temperature steady, I checked with a thermometer and it was spot on. Plus, its really quiet, you barely even notice its running.The only tiny thing i can maybe complain about is the alarm when its done beeps for a while, but its not a big deal. Overall, i'm very happy with this sous vide machine and would defintely recommend it, especailly if your new to sous vide cooking. Great value and great results!

My FIRST attempt at a sous vide meal produced the best thick cut pork chops my wife and I have ever had, anywhere. Oddly, I think I can still do better. No wifi, no apps, no built-in recipes, nothing fancy. Dead easy to set up, simply to program whisper quiet and (as near as I can tell) dead on accurate. Heated two gallons ( eight quarts ) of water to 140 degrees in next to no time and the impeller is powerful enough to visually stir the water surface. Once it reached the programmed cooking temperature, there was no discernible fluctuation. The circulator came with an easily understood ( and well thought out and executed ) instruction booklet, a sturdy clip for attachment to the kettle or tank AND a surprisingly well made drawstring storage bag. You can spend less for an immersion cooker, ( would A. Brown approve ?) and you could spend a lot more for and get features you don't want, need and wouldn't use, but this one has done an excellent job, done it very well and the warranty indicates that it will continue doing so for a good while yet.

The Greater Goods Precision Sous-Vide immersion cooker is a nice addition to my kitchen. I've only given it a few runs so far (a 28 hour beef roast and a 4 hour set of pork chops), but it performed admirably both times. The device is high-powered (1,100 watts), so it brings your cooking bath up to temperature quite rapidly and can maintain the desired temperature easily.The controls are very simple (a single knob/button), and as a huge positive, it does NOT require a smartphone, WiFi network, or Bluetooth to be used effectively. While some other brands can be operated without a network, it is sometimes painful to configure cooking time, etc. without using another device (looking at you, Anova), and being able to set temperature and cook time easily from the front panel was a real joy. The device pretty much guides you through setting the temperature and cooking time, and with a final press of the control button, it starts cooking. The status display has a color indicator to show if it's bringing your vessel up to temperature, when it's cooking, and when your specified cooking time has completed.Since there is a calibration adjustment option available, I decided to check the cooking temperature against a high-quality and recently calibrated ThermoWorks instant read thermometer, and found the cooker was right on (within 0.2 degrees Fahrenheit) straight from the box.If I have to have something to quibble over, it's that once your desired cooking time is reached, the device sounds a periodic alarm to let you know it's done. Since I'm most often cooking things sous-vide that aren't going to be harmed by a little additional cooking (unlike oven baking/roasting, sous-vide cooked food isn't going "burn" if left in too long), I would have liked a way to silence or acknowledge the alarm, while letting it continue to cook (which in fact it does do, complete with a "count-up" timer showing the amount of time past your desired cooking time - so no worries about your cooked food unsafely cooling off if you're not around.) I found the easiest solution to get rid of the "done cooking" alarm was to just hit stop, add some additional cook time to the timer, then restart cooking. Certainly not a deal breaker, but it did make me have to deal with the device a little sooner than I would have if the alarm didn't keep beeping every minute or so.All in all, the Greater Goods Precision Sous-Vide cooker is a very nice product, seems to work well, is simple to operate, has enough power to bring your cooking bath up to temp and keep it there, and doesn't require other devices just to make it work. I like it!-AndrewNote: this is a true and honest review of the product after my real world testing. I was given this product by the manufacturer to review.
