NKBIRD WIFI Sous Vide Cooker ISV-100W, 1000 Watts Fast-Heating W/Free APP | Sous Vide Machine Immersion Circulator w/ 14 Free Preset Recipes , Thermal Immersion w/ Smart Timer, Calibration Function

I purchased this item last week. Put it to use right away to make yogurt. It performed flawlessly for the first batch, keeping the temperature of the water perfectly steady, and it was whisper quiet. I started a second batch, and everything was fine when I started it. By the next morning the unit was making a whirring sound, like something was rubbing, or a bearing was failing. I contacted customer support via email yesterday. They responded immediately with suggestions for correcting the issue. The suggestions didn't help, and we exchanged a few more messages. By the end of the day, they determined that there was a problem with the unit I received, and sent me a replacement. It arrived today, less than 36 hours after I first contacted customer support. Amazing!

The Cooker arrived in a double pack without any damage and immediately worked nicely for cooking some chicken breasts. Using the Sous Vide method really did result in well cooked but still moist chicken. With just a minute or two on a grill it was perfect. The cooker was easy to operate with just a tiny whir noise as it heated and circulated the water in the container. Setting the time and temp was self evident - although at some point I'm going to need to read the instruction booklet to set the temp readout to Fahrenheit :-)

I have 100% enjoyed playing with this. Not everyone thinks it is worth this extra step. But if you have the time so work it! Filet mignon turns out perfectly! Hard boiled eggs peel like a dream. A cheap Aldi brisket wonderful! You can’t even hear it working, which is really nice with a >24 cook time for a brisket. We finish our meat on the big green egg to get a perfect smoked finish. The meat retains its moisture, never dry, and is super tender.

I've used imersion cookers for years.The Inkbird is a great unit with an easy to configure app for your smartphone.I purchased two of these units, one for home and one for cooking at a remote kitchen when traveling.Very accurate and well built. The only fault for me is the clamp. It can't be used on large picnic coolers when cooking larger volumes. I rectified this by making a standoff clamp using PVC pipe.Overall a great unit for any home kitchen. Easy to use, very accurate temperature control, easy to clean. Also a great unit for those who are unsure about Sous Vide cooking, you won't regret it.

It would fine. I don't use it in WiFi or bluetooth mode, its just easier for me to use the simply buttons to set temp and time. I checked the water temp with an instant read thermometer and its always within 1 degree of desired.

My go to for perfect steaks. Controllable cook times, allow you to prep whatever you are cooking, get them in the water and cooking. then you can clean real quick to prep the next thing before you remove it and allow the meat to rest then sear or serve! Super easy to use, the BT and WiFi setting are awesome as well!UPDATE: It recently stopped working after roughly monthly use. Gives improper readings, claims to be on. am currently attempting to trouble shoot, unsure if something is clogged inside the machine or if it needs to be recalibrated. as of a month of trouble shooting haven't been able to get it going again. would probably still buy again if it breaks due to ease of use and total numbers of use. hard to beat for the price.

I know that a 5 star rating is a pretty bold rating. But I didn't find any reason to give this unit a lesser rating.First of all, I love the built in clamp that attaches the unit to your chosen container. It easily attaches to most anything that you choose to cook your food in. The packaging is really nice and professional looking. RIght out of the box, I could already see the quality of the product. I wasn't surprised, since I have other inkbird products that have the same great quality. My first cook was a 48 hours on some beef shortribs. I set the timer and also set up the WIFI on my phone with the suggested app and was able to monitor the unit from upstairs. My unit was set up in my basement. 2 days later when the timer notified me that it was finished, I was pleased to find that the temp was still holding a steady 136 degrees fahrenheit. The meat was done perfectly. I have since cooked some Wild Mallard duck breast, which can be challenging to cook. 3 hrs at 135 degrees produced some of the best wild duck breast that I have ever had. The unit again kept the water at a steady temp and performed flawlessly. The directions are quite easy to follow and the unit is very quiet while running. I have borrowed a friends sous vide cooker before that is a different brand. I like this one better. I would definately recommend this unit to my friends and family. I wish I had taken some pictures. I will for sure next time.

This is my first foray into sous vide cooking.There are a lot of options out there, but I’ve been very happy with this unit.It’s solidly constructed and doesn’t have any bad connections or loose elements. It rather looks like a large curling iron.This particular unit has a very intuitive LCD display, touch interface. I was able to figure out how to program it within minutes, despite not looking at the instructions.It has Wi-Fi connectivity, but I haven’t bothered to download the app because I prefer to do everything manually while I’m home.I’ve cooked about 15 different meals now using this and every single one has turned out great. Online tutorials are of course helpful when trying to get the temperature and duration correct for your meat.The accuracy of the built-in thermometer is within one or 2° of a baseline measurement tool that I have.The motor circulates the water throughout the cooking process. There are very few moving parts, so I expect this to last a long time.For the price point, and considering that I’m not a professional, this has been an excellent addition to my kitchen. Everybody who has taken part in these meals has been impressed. I think a few people have even purchased this on my recommendation.

It heats up surprisinly fast. I'd read some reviews online that it lags behind other brands for length of time to get up to temperature, but it seems speedy to me. When you're cooking something for 4, 10, 20 hours does an extra five minutes to get up to temp really matter that much?Wifi took a bit to set up, it wanted to use the lower speed channel of my router, but it wasn't a big deal. Once I got it set up and synched, it was okay with my phone being on the faster side and the stick being on the slower side.We've had it for not quite a month and have probably used it at least 6 times. It's worked perfectly every time. I've never used a sous vide, and didn't realize you can cook from frozen with it, so it's become much more versatile now that I know it can save me if I forgot to thaw something and figure that out in the morning.I don't expect much since the price was so low, so if I wear it out I know I should buy a more durable one next. But for trying out sous vide cooking, this is perfect. If you're the type to only use these kinds of gadgets a few times a year, I'd recommend this over something pricier.

Ok so im on day 1 and so far my opinion is the device seems good, with HORRIBLE documentation. So hopefully this will help some with wifi. In the book and app it doesn't really state the wifi modes available.To switch wifi modes, hold down the wifi button directly on the device for about 5 seconds. When you first touch the button it will beep, dont take your finger off until you see the wifi symbol change,not at the beep, and it wont beep changing modes.this feature is mislabeled as wifi reset in the manual, when it actually changes modes, and reset if it is already connected.Fast flashing is it trying to connect to your routers 2.4g wifi (if you have 2 signals, it will be the slower but more long range connection).Slow flashing is ap mode or access point mode, nice feature i didn't know it had when bought, if it is unable to connect normally or your out and about, this is what you want. This will allow you to connect directly to the device as a wifi signal. Not the best option, but if you dont have access to wifi for some reason this feature should work.Hopefully this helps someone, haven't really used it yet other then to dethaw some frozen chili, which it did well. If this review doesn't change its probably running fine and i forgot i forgot i reviewed it. I will say that after it connected to wifi it seemed to run well, not sure why the hate on the app store to get a 1.5 star review, but hopefully i dont find out.

A solid product. It came in a great packaged box, was well built, and everything worked perfect. It is a very good value, and the wireless feature makes it super easy to use your mobile phone to adjust and monitor the temperature. I was actually pleasantly surprised to see that I was able to monitor the cooking while away from home on my mobile device. Overall, a 5-star product, for sure.

Easy to use and set up, although the wifi connect was a bit tricky. The sous vide cooking method is a bit to learn, not a plug and play. If you want something to cook fast and quick this isn't it, if you want something to develop your cooking skills and provide different and amazing dishes, this is your ticket.

My spouse loves the wifi connection to control this.Even without, we have used it for steak and chicken breasts. It maintains a constant temperature and is well made and easy to use. We are extremely pleased the results have been fabulous. Perfect sous vide meat grilled to perfection.
