Greater Goods Kitchen Sous Vide - A Powerful Precision Cooking Machine at 1100 Watts; Ultra Quiet Immersion Circulator With a Brushless Motor (Onyx Black)

This is the third sous vide I ordered. The first two were from a different well known manufacturer and both arrived securely packaged in the manufacturers box and the Amazon outer.... and were both broken. The Greater Goods one wasn't my first choice but it should have been. It is well made/sturdy, easy to set up, easy to use and best of all.... not broken on arrival. Sure I could cook the same stuff in a regular pan but for me the real joy of a sous vide is being able to prepare food in advance, hold it at temperature while entertaining friends and then be able to quickly finish in a pan and serve.

Chose this brand over Nano for quiet operation and the dial. Worked out of the box. Low whirl sound typically but turns high pitched if used repeatedly back to back, over long hours. It operated quietly again after resting 24hrs. Simply turning dial sets temperature. The dial has resistance for easily setting the exact temperature. So no hypersensitive dial making temperature setting annoying. Press down on dial to set timer hour, press again to set minutes, press again to set, and done. It will beep angrily if removed from the water during operation. It will beep if not enough water present. Minimum and maximum water level marked on shaft. Beeps to notify set temp is reached. Beeps when countdown timer completes. No on/off switch. Unplug to turn off. The temperature is accurate according to an analog candy thermometer. The holder has an adjustable clamp to accommodate different wall thicknesses. User can't manually set appliance height in holder. Where appliance rests in holder determined by container wall height. Clear plastic cap on the appliance's bottom covers the fan. For unusual situations, there is the option to lean appliance inside the container (use the holder as a brace tied together with chord if enough space for extra stability) as a workaround. Or if using various sized jars, prop up small jars using small ceramic bowls like souffle/creme brulee dish. I've used small ferment stones. Imagine steel steamer baskets would work too. Bigger than expected and has some weight like a heavy duty product. No wifi. No directions on how to clean the metal parts. It does collect water around the dial from steam rising up from container if using high temperatures. Maybe a reason to use a dedicated container with a lid for sou vides. A dish cloth draped over top of pot works is a cheap fix. The black parts, including holder is covered by soft plastic which may melt in the future. New, so durability is to be seen. Satisfied with product so far.

I’ve been wanting to try sous vide for a while. This cooker is easy to use, stylish, quiet and kept the water bath at the perfect temperature without fluctuating. I paired it with their sous vide container for the perfect combo.

The Greater Goods Kitchen Sous Vide Machine has been a game-changer in my kitchen. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned home chef, this device makes sous vide cooking incredibly approachable and reliable. What I love most: Fast and Quiet Performance: With its 1100-watt heating element and brushless motor, it heats water quickly and operates almost silently—perfect for long cooks without the noise. Simple, Intuitive Controls: The large LCD screen and button-dial interface are super easy to use. Setting temperature and time is straightforward, and the display is bright and easy to read from across the kitchen. Excellent Circulation: The water circulates evenly and efficiently, ensuring consistent cooking results. It passed every test I threw at it—from perfectly jammy eggs to juicy, tender steaks. Compact and Versatile: The screw clamp fits securely on a variety of pots and containers, and the sleek design doesn’t take up much space. While the temperature accuracy is just slightly off by less than a degree, it’s not enough to impact cooking results in any noticeable way. For the price, this sous vide machine offers performance that rivals much more expensive models. If you're looking for a reliable, quiet, and easy-to-use sous vide cooker that delivers restaurant-quality results at home, the Greater Goods Precision Cooker is a fantastic choice.

I got my first sous vide as an impulse buy in the Aldi finds aisle. It worked fine. I didn't like that I had to hit a button over and over again that beeped to set the time and temperature. It died after about 3 years. I replaced it with this one. I loved how easy it is to set with the dial. After about a year the plastic guard around the impeller broke. I fastened it back on with some copper wire. It looked pretty janky but motored on. Several months ago the impeller made a lot more noise than it did when new. It continued to work but it was obvious it was not going to go much longer. Today the impeller stopped spinning. I used this thing a lot (2 or more times per week) so 3 years doesn't seem like too bad of a lifespan. I just ordered an Inkbird that was on sale to replace it. It doesn't have a plastic guard around the impeller so it should at least not have that problem. I will miss the rotary dial. We shall see how long a different brand holds up. Reading several reviews I don't think any of them are going to last much more than 3 years if you use them as frequently as I do!
