Pros & Cons
Pros
Using a sous vide is easier than using a slow cooker. Sous vide in general is definitely a game changer.
The only downside to the joule is that it does require a phone or tablet to operate. It is very easy to use once it attaches to your phone’s bluetooth. It also features wifi and bluetooth, ideal for tech enthusiasts.
Stainless steel cap and base add a classy touch. Sleek, compact form factor. Well built and sleek.
The joule heats up water quickly. Once the water is at the desired temperature, it holds it like a laser. I also like that it keeps the food at the done(ready)temperature for an hour after the cook time is done-i’m not rushed.
Cons
When the joule works it's wonderful, but i cannot recall a time i've used it and not had a connectivity issue. Since this completely relies on your phone and connectivity to bluetooth and wifi it completely breaks if these are faulty.
Not recommended. It is absolutely ridiculous. Not these guys.
Buy an anova. Don't add to the landfill. Jammed up after only 6 months of use. Over-priced disappointing garbage this is.
Highlights
Quality
We love the sleek design ease of use and the app connectivity
Works great holds the temperature steady and is quiet when running
I would never give it a bad rating but after about 2 years regular vinegar and water baths they both stopped working at about the same time
If you have a poor wifi signal in your home or your phone is ancient and has a bad bluetooth signal this thing is near useless
Price
Id advise getting the lower cost option nonmagnetic and using the savings for a sous vide container with a lid
But for me thats a small price to pay for the precision and control that sous vide cooking provides
Shipping
The first i bought was a top of the line anova pro which would never connect to my network and was sent back to amazon without ... Read More
Competitiveness
But its still much less convenient than the anovas simple scroll wheel control
This unit is replacing a highlevel anova and its mostly better
