Breville BSV600PSS Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine, Polished Stainless Steel

It works as described. I've made salmon, thick and thin pork chops and chicken thighs and all have been cooked to perfection. Just make sure you weigh and measure the thickness of your food, then enter those numbers plus the number of items and desired doneness using the app and let it do its thing. At first I used a big metal pot that was in my kitchen, using clothespins to hold the ziplock bags in the water. Then I purchased an EVERIE 12qt. container with an adjustable rack and a Bonsenkitchen vacuum sealer and that made things easier. The app works well, just make sure you are using the settings for a Turbo machine. I use my own recipes, mostly with rubs, as opposed to the ones offered, but I DO use the time/temps it gives me to get a perfect cook. The learning curve is very shallow to getting good results. The device is well-worth the cost.

Outstanding addition to my kitchen. This is my second one. Perfect food every time! Only way to cook steaks, chicken, pork perfectly

The BEST. Easy to use, awesome app way easy to use. The best WOW. Breville Sousvide + so good and easy to use. Highly recommend this product 🖖😎🤙

Update as of 9/28/2024: I initially contacted Breville support regarding the problems that I was having. I can honestly say that was a huge mistake. As others have stated, they feel that they make no faulty devices and the problem must be with the customer and/or the setup. I was told that my problems must have been with my wireless network setup. If that was true, the device should have lost the connection AND kept cooking. Their attempts at trying to diagnose my problems completely ignored the fact that it stopped cooking when it shouldn't. Support was totally inept and illogical.Having tried Breville support and finding that to be a big mistake, I figured I would go ahead and initiate a return & replacement with Amazon having only a few days to spare. I received the replacement within a few days, and immediately cooked a ribeye without any issues. I tried several more test cooks, and not once did I experience any of the failures I did with the first defective device.Having said the above, I won't be improving my rating of the product due to the issues I experienced and the dismissiveness of legitimate problems by support representatives of the manufacturer. Customers should expect and receive better, especially from a device that retails for $245.Today is 8/24/2024, and I was excited to try out this purchase just delivered. Initial setup was relatively easy in the Breville+ app for iPhone. I had it on the Wi-Fi network in a minute. The device immediately wanted to perform an update, so I let that finish which took a few minutes. At that point I decided to try a cook. I had a frozen pork tenderloin, and after the usual prep & choosing my settings, I set the device for auto and went about my other chores with a 1hr, 45min approximate cook time. Well, an hour later I noticed the device had stopped circulating. I looked at the app, and it had a pop up that it had lost Wi-Fi connectivity, but that it should continue with the cook--IT DOES NOT! The temperature had dropped down to 129 degrees from the 149 degrees as set, so I know it did not complete the cook. Thinking this may just be a one-off occurrence, I manually set the device for a 150 degree hour long cook. After coming back to temperature, the device ran for 10 minutes and again lost Wi-Fi connection and STOPPED cooking. Of course, it's still there because I could immediately restart the cook from the app, but you must go through the cook setup again. It's like the device is resetting every time.For $245, I expect better. I don't know how far the first cooking attempt progressed, but this is definitely not something you can just set and forget. I tried contacting support, but my gosh...it requires you input a serial number and model number. The model number on the box (BSV600PSS1BNA1) doesn't match anything in their support system. You must truncate the last 5 digits I suppose--they don't advise you in any way. You would think that after inputting a serial number that information would auto populate and not require manual entry, but I digress. Now, they want the device batch code which I'm guessing is on a label not prominently displayed while the device is submerged trying to do its cooking thing once again. What a mess!I'll try finishing this cook, and might try contacting Breville support once again; but I'm already leaning towards just boxing this back up for a refund and getting a manual device. I wanted to like this thing that has glaring positive reviews, but we're not off to a good start.

I had never heard of Sous Vide cooking until we bought the Breville Joule Air Fryer and downloaded the app. When I was pairing the over to my phone they showed several devices and I wondered what this Sous Vide thing was. I had no idea how resturaunts made steaks and prime rib so perfectly. Being curious I ordered one. It came and we wanted to see how it worked so we pulled a frozen leg of lamb out, seasoned it added olive oil and sealed it ina bag and cooked it in water for 24 hours, it was frozen. Yesterday it was done popped it in the broiler for 10 minutes and was amazed at how absolutely perfect it turned out cooked equally well through the entire hunk of meat.It was easy to use, the app in my phone took us step by step through what we needed to do. Next we are going to see how it does witha pork loin.

I'm pretty tech savvy. I'm not wealthy. I splurged on this (paid for in installments) because I appreciated the supposed cooking speed that others don't have and supposedly great app. I also liked the compact size. It arrived this afternoon and nothing I do will allow the app on my phone to recognize it. I spent over 2 hours trying everything in their troubleshooting guide to no avail. The live agent help is not available all afternoon on the west coast on a Friday (the US office is actually in my time zone). All online information and reviews are about the 'Joule' app, which seems to have been replaced less than a year ago, which doesn't work with the Turbo model. The replacement 'Breville+' app doesn't see my device. I will wait till Monday, and if the live support chat agent is still unavailable, I will have no option but to return it.UPDATE Monday morning: I now understand what I did wrong, and as embarrassing as it is, I will relay it here to help others using it for the first time because it's not completely clear from the instructions. My mistake: I didn't look closely at the illustration on the inside of the lid. It says to get started by downloading the app, then it has an illustration of the Joule in a pot of water, and then an illustration of a hand pointing to the app on a phone. You must do it in that order; it has to be inserted in the water before opening the app. In my defense, the graphic guide in the included booklet (which I studied carefully) only indicates that you have to plug it in before opening the app, THEN it shows it in a tub of water. If you plug it in without water and try to connect in the app, you'll have to UNINSTALL the app before starting over in the specific order.
