ARY VacMaster SV-1 Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Head

Nice price, but poor quality. I have been using immersion circulators for years. This model proved to be a real disappointment. The unit takes some time to heat the water (probably 2x that of polyscience), but that wasnt a huge deal considering it is an economy priced unit. The circulator stopped working after about three months of use and we are hoping it will be covered under warranty. Would not recommend.

This product definitely works as advertised. I use it for a small catering business. It is 1500w vs the 1000w that the other entry level immersion circulators have. It makes a difference when you are cooking for more than just yourself and a small group of friends. I cooked 150 eggs in this thing and it worked just like the PolyScience professional one that I have. I'm very satisfied with it. The beeping that other people report is from the machine coming up to temp. It beeps. You push the play button to start the timer. It stops beeping until the timer goes off. People who hear constant beeping just didn't read the instructions.

This thing is a workhorse! Powerful enough to heat up even the largest water bath it seems, I've used this for short sous vide items such as chicken breasts all the way to 48h+ brisket for months now and it has kept right on going. Extremely pleased with the purchase; Would definitely buy again!

We have purchased several of these, and in terms of heating water and keeping a solid temp, they work great. The problem we have is with the mounting mechanism. We've had 3 units where the plastic housing for the clamp has cracked, keeping the unit from staying upright in the sous vide bath. Even considering the low price, that's not a good failure rate.

Extremely poor quality. I have purchased 2 of these from Webstaurant and they have both broken in a short period of time. (plastic cracked, plastic separated from the metal body). They were both warrantied by Ary and the replacement units have also broken. Do not waste your money!

I use this every week to cook 50lb of Steak, and it pumps well in up to 12-14 gallon containers, below 150 if it’s insilated nicely.

We've only used this a couple of times but it has worked perfectly. After just venturing into the world of sous vide this circulator is the perfect introduction. Can't wait to use it more and more.

Much better than home devices and is a thousand times more efficient. This helps save time. The only issue I have is that it beeps constantly while on and it can be hard to clean. After a few months, it stops working as well even if you maintain it.

Seems like a great product & great pricing. Bought a 2nd because we can't cook enough product with 1. Been using them everyday for about 6 months and have had no problems. Sous vide can produce some amazing products with unbelievable consistency.

Nice performance in the kitchen, you can use for usual recipes changing the texture, or trying to make some special, easy to use and clean.

I purchased this after having to request a refund on a Consumer model Sous Vide unit that failed in less than five weeks. The difference is astounding. The Webstaruant price was only a bit more than the failed piece for a Commercial Grade sous Vide unit. I set it to 125 degrees F with 110 degree tap water and it was at temp in less than 3 minutes. Polyscience might be faster; however it is a whole lot more money. Like golf clubs, tennis rackets and skis; you can throw a lot of money at equipment and doesn't mean that you will be any better with your results. VacMaster Sous Vide SV-1 works just fine for me. Some complain that you have to turn off the unit to change the settings? Wrong, you just need to pause the unit and then bump up or down the temp or time. I did Read More

I now have two of these immersion circulator heads now from Vac Master . the machine is easy to adjust and use thank you for such great customer service

We got the circulator back at the end of December. It worked great the first 4 times we used it, temp is a little inaccurate but for what we used it for was just fine. It heated the water up really fast. Then we used it the 5th time and Durning use just decided to stop heating the water. We cleaned the water filter and pressed the reset button. I tried going to the warranty website but it does not come up. Going to try to call to see what happens

We have used the unit several times, mostly for side projects and experimentation. Seems to hold temperature really well, and was easy to use. Our only complaint was that it fluctuated 1 degree or so (which is no problem).. but every time it came up to exact temp and alarm went beeping. so it beeped about every 5 minutes the whole time. Not a deal breaker, and maybe there's a way to turn it off, but not readily obvious

It use to take us a lot of time and we would have to watch it very closely when we would sous vide. Not anymore! Since we bought this its much easier and we can start it and walk away.

Has been great so far - nice price for an entry level immersion circulator that can do the job. Really not much more to say here other than that it works well.

Bough 3 units, none of them can keep the set temp. If I set the temp at 150, they all struggle to keep the temp at 150, it fluctuates around 148-149.5 and the timer never start!

Purchased in March 2018, still going strong. Heats quickly and circulates well. Has high wattage and good features. Never had a problem. Keep the filter clean. Great value, buying another one (for another location : )

We really enjoy this product! We really enjoy using it for new dishes and are really looking forward to utilizing it a lot more in the near future!

Great Sous Vide Circulator! Holds consistent temp within 1 deg of setting, very quite and enough watts to maintain temp on a large volume of water. If you live in an area that has hard water and worry about the white mineral stains that will start to show on the unit you can just add some white vinegar to your water or use distiled water.
