Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This cooker is easy to use, heats up fast and maintains target temperature. The handle/clamp is a bit fiddlie but not really a problem. We are loving it so far.

Go from chef boyardee to gordan ramsey with this thing. You can easily change temp & time mid-cook.



Cons

The instant pot is still in its original box collecting dust. When you leave a contact number they don't call back. There are several on the market and a different brand seems to be getting better expert and customer reviews.

Small size and metal construction on the bottom. Unit is defective.

Water circulation is very weak. The thermometer is broken. It also heats the water (bubbles form around heating element) even when circulator is not running as long as it is plugged in.

The clamp to hold onto the pot is very flimsy. The unit twists about and the clamp flexes like it is about to break off.

Quality


We were so pleased with this machine, we purchased another one as a gift for our son.


I did not buy this with the expectation of using it in an instapot.


First off, this is my first sous vide cooking product.


There is no menus included with the machine but i read the comments before i purchased and realized i would need a sous vide cookbook.

Price


The price was right and offers enough performance for anybody wanting to try sous vide.

Competitiveness


I put them in a foodsaver bag and then into the freezer/fridge.

    We had a different sous vide machine earlier which proved to be difficult to set and then it would quit in the middle of the cooking cycle

    It doesnt have an app you can use with but it doesnt need it


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The clamp could use a redesign and the interface is easy to figure out but the timer and temperature setting needs a better way of getting to the numbers you want

    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I figured go big or go home so my first try at this was an entire angus beef tenderloin lol


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I realized very quickly i could not fit this in the 12qt container i had bought with out cutting it up


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I also in doing some reading realized this unit is only 800 watts so i wasnt even certain it would work with a larger container based on the circulator and water heater


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cross checked the temp periodically on the far side of the container with my thermoworks mk4 insta read pen and the temp was within a half a degree of what the sous vide was set at
