KURSINNA Sous Vide Machine, 1000W Precision Cooker Slow Cooker, 15dB Ultra-Quiet Immersion Circulator With Accurate Temperature Digital Timer, IPX7 Waterproof

I received this product shortly after purchase and was very happy with this performance for just over a year. Sadly after using it last week to cook a corned beef roast the next day I intended to cook some potatoes and it would no longer turn on. Being an industrious person myself I tried to investigate the fault and even used my heat gun to warm up the unit to see if the touch screen would begin working again yet it did not with any confidence. I had originally purchased this unit on July 7th of last year and had purchased an extended 3yr warranty agreement through Asurion. They did not return my response however the original manufacturer did when I reached out to them via email on a Sunday evening no less. Within 2 hours of my email I had a response requesting video proof of the non-functionality in the unit after returning this information I was immediately assured that I would be receiving a new unit directly from the manufacturer upon confirmation of my original address purchased through Amazon. After submitting this address I received a replacement unit within 3 days thanks to Bonnie at customer service with Kursinna. Hopefully this replacement unit will last many years performing as efficiently as its predecessor. PS- this unit was a replacement for a previous sous vide unit that I purchased off of Amazon which failed just over a year ago. I am happy to learn that this unit which was previously purchased a $78.99 plus a 10% discount is now available on the store for $49.99. I would highly recommend the purchase at the extreme discount and for the excellent customer service!

Got our steaks to a good temp and then we seared them

I am new to sous vide cooking, but with this immersion cooker, I am now a convert to the process. I have done chicken thighs, pork chops, acorn squash, and more, and, while it does take some personal attempts to refine what what finds in recipes, it gave me a wonderful end product. Meats are tender and cooked to desired endpoint. Being able to let something sit awhile before taking out for dinner is great since my personal schedule is usually pretty tight. Best example: 2-1/2 inch center cut rib pork chop (bone in) went into 130F cooking for 1 hour but remained for 2-1/2 hours. At dinner hour I fired up my gas grill, oiled up the chop, added salt and pepper and put in over my hottest burner. Chop was ready in 5-6 minutes with perfect char, good rendering of edge fat, and when cut, it was pink center, tender, and juicy. Clean up is a true breeze. I pull the cooker from the plastic tank and let it dry over paper towels. I dump the tank water over 'dirty' dishes in the sink to give a hot water rinse, and put the cooking items away. It's great and the price is astonishingly low! I'd buy it again and would give it as a gift.

I've used it for a couple of years now. Works great and the meat comes out tender now mater what cut it is.

UPDATE: STUCK IN CLN MODE. (See images.) The manual says gold the power button to bypass CLN but this does NOT work. It is STUCK. --- Original Review: With other sous vide machines I've used, you press start, walk away, enjoy your food. With this one, you press start, walk away, and come back to cold food. Very odd feature: you have to press start, wait 15 minutes, it will beep, and you must press start to KEEP it on. If not, it turns off. Why?? Not sure who decided that was a necessity to press start 15 minutes after you press start. It'd be like an oven you preheat and then it turns off when done preheating. Why??

This sous vide was an excellent fine. I like that it's simple and has easy controls not too complicated and doesn't have extra features that I never use. I also like that it's compatible with many different bins and pots allowing me to attach it to a wide variety of pans. I cooked a steak that I had vacuum sealed and it came out perfect. Took it out of the pouch flash fried both sides to get a crust and had a very excellent medium rare steak. I wish it had a storage bag or container so that I can keep the dust off of it but other than that it's next time find.

Easy to use. Controls were simple and straightforward. Felt solid, heavy for the size and looked well made. Attached securely to the side of a deep pan. I like the screw better than a clip as some models have. Initial test took about 25 minutes to heat tap water to 133. For cooking used 120 hot water to fill pan. Very quiet. Temperature stayed pretty consistent when I measured with a +- 1 degree thermometer. Thermometer read about 1.5 degrees higher than the unit showed. I consider than to be a good performance. Cooked a prime rib for about 8 hours as a first time sous vide. Vacuum food sealer bags worked great for an evenly cooked, tender prime rib. Would recommend as I think the performance was very good and the price was not the lowest but much less than some and a good value.

easy to use.
