Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide 800W Precision Cooker,Immersion Circulator,Ultra-Quiet Fast-Heating with Big Touchscreen Accurate Temperature and Time Control,Waterproof

Pros: - Good price point - Built solid, did not feel flimsy or cheap - User friendly, simple interface. (started cooking with it right away without having to consult the manual) - Simplicity (no need to struggle with wifi or download an app) - Quiet. It had a hum but it was not loud, a couple feet away it was drown out by the vent hood - Kept the water bath the right temperature, I double checked it using a thermometer I know to be accurate - If you have an Instant Pot you can use the cooker and inner pot to do sous vide. It is designed in such a way you can clip it on the lip the lid locks into easily. Cons: - No app ** ( I actually consider this a pro personally, I can set a timer to check on the this thing and not have yet another device connected to my crowded home network) Since I have just starting using this unit no negatives stand out to me as of yet. I have not cooked a large batch, tried it in a large bath and it is still new so cannot judge the wear and tear. I will update this review over time. About me: I work in IT so I am tech savvy, and as such, I prefer things that have a job to do, do it well and don’t over complicate things.

Very poor. Ordered this as my mother has difficulty eating many foods and this was suggested as a possible way to cook things she could eat. Had to use an adapter as it has a non-UK plug. Upon turning it on at the wall, immediately shorted and blew the fuse in the adapter.

Muy amigable. Facil de usar. Lo único malo es que la pausa no funciona. Le pones pausa y se le borra la programación que ya tenía y la tienes que volver a poner. Pero funciona muy bien.

Ridiculous, there is no indication on the specification of this item that it is 120V. This should not be sold on UK amazon without this beaing clearly marked.

I spent a LOT of time researching sous vide cookers before buying this one. There are a ton of choices ranging from cheap and iffy, to overpriced and not worth it. The Instant Pot-company model is the one I chose and I am confident that it was the right decision. Disclosure: I do not do plastic bag-based sous vide cooking. I am fairly sure that in years to come we will realize that cooking things tightly wrapped in plastic is just not healthy. I use this cooker only with glass containers, which I am sure limits the performance a bit. But if you are fine with using non-BPA cooking bags, my findings will be relevant to you too. In my experience the four things you should judge a sous vide cooker for are (1) ease of use, (2) accuracy of temperature and timing settings, (3) noise level, and (4) durability. I haven’t had this cooker long enough to answer #4, but as for #1 the operation of this cooker was so intuitive and easy to figure out I didn’t even have to read the manual. Re: #2: - I have tested the water temperatures with a top-of-the-line Thermapen instant-read thermometer, and at multiple settings the readings were never more than 1 degree off. This is excellent compared to what you seem to get with some of the cheaper competitors - and super-important if for example you want to use your cooker to make yoghurt. Re: #3 - this cooker is really quiet, you hear only a faint whir from across the kitchen, and nothing at all from the next room. (Excessive noise is a big criticism of many competing models.) The one “drawback” of this model is that it’s not designed to be controllable via a smartphone app. But honestly, for me this is a positive. I have enough Bluetooth and Wifi radiation in my life already, and using a phone to control a kitchen applicance that’s ten feet away just seems brainless to me. If you think that one day you will want to adjust your cooking temperature after 2 hours by three degrees - while playing golf - maybe consider another model that costs twice to three times as much (yes Breville, I’m talking about you). But for most actual cooks, basing your sous vide cooker choice on smart-phone compatibility is just idiocy.
