INKBIRD Wifi Sous Vide Cooker, 1000W Sous Vide Machine, Remote Control Immersion Circulator with APP Recipes Timer Alarm Mobile Notification 3D Water Heating Ultra-Quiet

Works very well, with simple controls, unlike some other brands. I don't plan to use the WiFi feature. The clamp works great and easy to adjust. This is also really quiet; you can barely hear it when it is on. Temperature is consistent and accurate enough. My last sous vide cooker started having problems after about a year. I've only used this one twice so far and will update this review after a few more months of consistent use.

I have bought several Inkbird devices in the past and have been very satisfied with the quality, reliability and value they offer. So when I decided to give Sous Vide a try it was an easy decision to buy the Inkbird version vs the Anova model, with for comparison was about twice as expensive. The device arrived well packed and very quickly with Amazon prime in typical Inkbird fashion. I have never used a Sous Vide device so after watching a few YouTube videos on the subject I decided to vacuum seal a couple of NY strips and give it a try. The Inkbird machine quickly brought the water to temp. I cooked the steaks at 135 for about 4 hours and then seared it on my Weber Kettle. By far this is one of the best steaks I have ever cooked. It came out very tender and at the perfect temp. The Inkbird app made monitoring the water temp and the cook very easy. Also the WiFi setup on the device was very easy and intuitive. Couple of things that you may run into was that the device comes in C as default. It is very easy to change the setting on the app. The other thing was the temp was off by 1 degree, I was easily able to calibrate it by adjusting the offset in the app. Overall I am very happy with the device and I highly recommend it. It is well build and has a solid feeling. The LCD screen is easy to read. I believe it is a great value for money when you compare it with the feature set of the market leader.

I've been using the inkbird sous vide for 7 months now and it has worked great. It was a little wonky connecting it thru the app but otherwise easy to use. The only issue I've had was after 6 months of use, the clamp where the spring connects broke. It just came apart. But Inkbird support was very hassle free, and they resolved the issue quickly. It's one of 3 circulators I own. I also own the Yedi Infinity and Anova Precision Cooker. The inkbird tends to be my go to though, since it's easily quieter than the anova, although I do prefer the anova clamp and app. And universal cut sous vide lids fit around the inkbird whereas the Yedi is just a bit too wide. They all hold temp well and I start off with hot tap water or by heating water on the stove because they all take longer than I'd like to get to temp on their own. I do use all 3 circulators depending on the pot/container I'm using for the cook. Overall, the Inkbird is a solid unit.

I have been cooking with sous vide for several years now, and it's a great way to prepare food! You can make a large variety of dishes including: custards, poultry, beef, pork, fish, ice cream, some vegetables, etc, all while maintaining a strict temperature control which ensures you will never have to worry about your food being either under or over cooked. It also allows you to easily reheat food you have cooked previously without having to overcook it on the stove or in the microwave- you just reheat it in the bag and it's heated to the same temperature you cooked it previously. When I first started I used an Anova Nano, which I thought was a good starter unit at the time (reasonably priced, well known company, good features), but I unfortunately had several issues with it. The first unit had issues with its water level sensor and wouldn't stay turned on. Anova upheld their warranty and sent me another unit which worked well for several years, but eventually gained a terrible fan whine which made it very unpleasant to use. The Nano was already very loud with its fan, but this made it unusable. With the warranty expired, I set out to find a new unit, and this is the one I eventually decided on. This unit is: much more powerful (1000W according to the listing) meaning it can heat water quickly (it would take the Nano ages to bring the water to temp, probably at least an hour), is almost whisper quiet, and offers many of the same features as my old Anova device. Plus, it's MUCH cheaper than something like an Anova! It comes with built in WIFI and an app that you can connect it to in order to set the temperature, timer, calibrate, change from Celsius to Fahrenheit, etc. For the most part, the app works as intended, but for some reason I never receive any notifications on my phone once the timer is completed. I get around this by setting a seperate timer on my phone, or having my home assistant like Alexa or Google remind me once it's time. Overall, I highly recommend this product!

Love it. Makes meat so tender.

Truthfully I’ve only used it once and it was very easy to set up. I actually previously had this, not sure if it was the exact same model but it only lasted maybe 2 years. And suddenly it wouldn’t program. Keeping my fingers crossed that this one lasts longer. It is so nice and quiet and very easy to use.

A great sous vide that gets the temperature right every time. A must need when cooking tricky meats and keeping consistent temperatures for long periods. We’ve used it with vegetables too and easily attaches and easy to set and forget.

Here is a little update… The display went mostly out within a few months. Fortunately, you can set everything by Wi-Fi, and I just lived with that. Then the unit began resetting the configuration. The temperature scale and the Wi-Fi connection were the big offenders. Now the unit turns on but and heats, but you can’t connect to set the temperature and the display only shows three of the right-most display segments which is useless when trying to set a temperature. The cost for a warranty return approaches the cost of a new model so just shop for something else to avoid the frustration. Some time ago, I purchased the cheapest sous vide model I could find. I just wanted to experiment. The cheap model died within a year, and this time, I was prepared to purchase a far more expensive mainstream model. This was not my first choice, but I liked the price. So far, I have not been disappointed. The wireless application works perfectly, allowing me to monitor cooking remotely. The only downside is that it takes a long time to heat up. My old model, with the same wattage, was able to bring 3-gallons of water to temperature within 15 minutes, but this one can take up to double the time to heat the same volume. The delay feature means that I can set everything up and it will begin heating at the prescribed time. Everything works great if I remember to add the food when the water is at temperature. There are a lot of preset cooking times and temperatures that are great guidance, but I can’t figure out how to directly apply them to a recipe as you need to manually input the time and temperature. This is a great model for someone on a budget that is interested in exploring the cooking technique and (so far) has been very effective for my regular use.
