Pros & Cons
Pros
The monoprice sous vide works great. The -ap suffix designates the lid style that matched the monoprice model along with a few others. Sous vide is our new favorite cooking style. Put it on grill to sear 2 minutes to brown.
If you've ever wondered how restaurants get their prime rib to be the same doneness all the way through, this is it. Makes sirloin and flank steak tender while allow them to stay medium rare. All the food comes out very tender and juicy.
The mount, while made of plastic, actually feels sturdy and high quality. And so far, quite durable. Giving several as gifts this xmas.
Cons
It is clear that this sous vide is malfunctioning. Reset the device and attempted to adjust temp to no avail. Tried celsius. Unfortunately, hers is defective.
Very disappointed with the short lifespan of this project. The electronic chip controlling these devices is a piece of junk.
Highlights
Quality
Made some of the best steaks ever doing it sous vide and then finished with cast iron to sear.
Decent quality build, in use for 50 or more hours of operation; so far, so good!
You can only do this safely with sous vide and it results in a very moist and tender chicken breast.

Price
The best $60 value in any kitchen.
I would buy it again under $50-55 without skipping a beat.
This product is sick for the price.
I got this thing for $44 four years ago.
Shipping
As always,,,,never use zipper sealing bags for sous vide.
Update—amazon sent a replacement very quickly and i tried it out tonight.
Packaging/appearance
The sous-vide container is a spare fridge drawer.
Competitiveness
It is easier to use than the a*&$a brand.
This turned out to be a nice unit and compares very favorably with the more expensive unit i am now using.

If this was critical i could calibrate the temperature by up to 9 degrees celsius whatever that is in fahrenheit but i’m okay with a couple of degrees either way and the cooking temperature is easily adjustable using the wheel on the front
