I can tell I'm going to love it. I am not a newb to bluetooth ...
Seriously, people? In this day and age, you are selling a supposedly connected product that will not connect?
I'm a newb to sous vide cooking, and after cooking a couple of chicken breasts, I can tell I'm going to love it.
I am not a newb to bluetooth and wifi issues, and I can tell that these are going to be unresolvable. The device will not hold the temperature I set, and the connection is very unstable. As noted, chicken breast was excellent out of the sous vide bath. But there are no controls on the device, which leaves you at the mercy of ridiculously buggy software. On a wireless interface, no less.
The device appears to have done little other than circulate water. I had to babysit the temperature, frequently re-heating the bath. The app's readout indicated temps consistently 15 degrees off what my recently-calibrated instant read thermometer indicated, and as a result of these temperature variations the device's timer was completely useless. I had to guess when the food was done.
One session of sous vide cooking has turned me into a believer, but I'm going to look further for a sous vide cooking device. This one is terrible.
