VacPak-It SV08 Commercial Sous Vide Immersion Circulator Head with 5 Gallon Water Tank - 120V, 1200W

This unit worked great for us until a little over a year later (obv they timed the warranty period perfectly!) Now it doesn't start the circulating cycle. It gives us the error code for the water level being outside of the allowable amount, but the water level is between the marks on the unit. We've cleaned the machine, unplugged it, rinsed it, dried it, etc and it still throws the "E01" error code when we press start. So now we have this expensive device that made it a little over a year that's useless now. Can't believe this is supposed to be used in a commercial environment.

Same as previous review. Gave us a low water level error after a month of use. Webstaurantstore.com send us a new one. Received the same exact error code after warranty was up and item was not repairable- Waste of money. DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!

I really don't understand why webstaurant sells this product with all the bad reviews. We rarely use this unit and have had it for a few years. It has had a few random issues from time to time and most recently the heating coil completely failed and split open in quite dangerous fashion. Would not recommend this product and I would go as far as saying to avoid this brand all together.

This machine is perfect and does the job in good quality. You don't find any good sou vide machine in this price range.

Had this product for less than 6 months and it worked great but then it suddenly stopped working. The board would light up but we could not change or set any functions including the start button. Very disappointed.

Solid unit for the price. been using since 2020. I routinely poach 60-70 eggs at a time, zero issues. I use it from 130F-198F, and it works. On the higher temps, I use a smaller vessel than the 5 gal to heat it faster, but only a few degrees of drop when adding in product, but it recovers quickly. I use it daily, constantly running for 10 hours and its never left me disappointed. I do maintain it, which will increase reliability, flushing it with vinegar water after every service and opening the cover and cleaning the heating element and pump weekly. I would definitely recommend this product. Im considering buying a 2nd one just to have around as a backup but the price has jumped significantly since then....but still well worth it.

The unit worked fine for a few months and then stopped working. I expected it to last quite a bit longer.
