Monoprice Strata Home Sous Vide Precision Cooker 800W

The Strada Home by Monoprice Sous-vide is very easy to use.

Got on sale <$60 and free shipping. In that situation, I would recommend it if you want an intro to sous vide. Otherwise, buy something else like an annova. The cooker is built pretty solidly - you can feel that. The issues with the machine are the controls. A bit shady. The touchpad is flaky. Set t...

I used it one time. So if you want to use it because you saw it in the Internet but are not used to a machine like this don’t waste your money on it. It works perfectly no complaints whatsoever about the product is but it’s just not I don’t know just one worth your money back if you’re not used to u...

My first unit worked great the first time. The second time I tried it, it beeped incessantly. I returned it and received a new one, which did the same thing (beeped). Turns out it's the water sensor. The water sensor is not very good. Sometimes when midway between min and max it detects low water, s...

I bought this because of the value, and the specs directly compared to the Anova Precision. I don't need stupid WIFI or Bluetooth so this seemed like a great deal. I compared this directly to the old Anova Precision circulator. The pump just isn't putting out anything close to what the Anova precisi...

I have used this three times. It is accurate within one degree. It is extremely quiet. Overall I think it's a good machine and a very good value. However, the manual is wrong about the bottom cap being removable. I suspect this was planned then scrapped at the last minute to save money. The bottom c...

I used this to get started with Sous Vide cooking. I like the fact that it has no fancy bells or whistles - just a simple electronic display and a thumbwheel to adjust temperature and time. It seems to hold the temperature quite steady over the cooking time. The directions it comes with are bare bon...
