BSV600PSS Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine, Polished Stainless Steel

Works really well—I use it at least 3 times a week to make yogurt. I’ve also used it to infuse vodka, cook steaks (perfect results) and chops, reheat leftovers. This is so much faster and easier than stovetop or oven cooking. I have had no issues at all with connectivity, it always works for me. I used it during big holiday meals to heat food when oven space and stove space was occupied. I’m very happy that I had this!

As a person who did not know the Sous Vide cooking method, I am quite happy with this little machine! It is absolutely foolproof. Just follow the directions in the app and your steak, chop, or chicken comes out perfectly cooked. My steak was juicy and super tender! It is a bit pricey, but I feel that the results I get from it make it worth the cost!!

Love this device. We use it about weekly and most often for ribs (I know...sacrilegious, right?!). I used to like fighting with the smoker, but these are SO consistently excellent that we are converts (we do finish them off with BBQ sauce and a quick run on the grill to caramelize them a smidge). Also have had really good luck with steak and salmon. Still exploring other cooking options. Very easy to use, the app links easily to our phones and gives temperature and you just kind of plug in what you are cooking, add some parameters and go. As an aside, we are planning a wedding soon and the caterer uses a similar but industrial size system for much of his cooking (and he is SUPER!). recommendations: get a "bucket with a lid" to keep the water warm and reduce need for refilling. Also use a vacuum sealer to prep the items: well worth the hassle and expense. We use a EVERIE sous vide container and Anova culinary precision vacuum sealer pro. Bought all products on Amazon and have written reviews for them. Still working on what bags work best for the sealer. Not completely happy with what we have used thus far (except that the bags that came with the sealer worked flawlessly).

Brilliant! I've used an Anova device since ~2015 but this is far smaller, works in much smaller containers, lesser water levels, etc. I.e I can pull this out to use at any time rather than hauling out a large pot. And the reliance on the app isn't a negative here (i.e. that it doesn't have on-unit buttons or display): but the app has a huge selection of recipes and timings as well, even for frozen foods. Overall, the improvement here make this useful in a daily setting -- in small pots and without much afterthought -- although that of course means that you're comfortable using the app for an interface rather than buttons and LEDs on the unit. But a wise design choice IMHO. The best, of those I've lived with previously. (Anova and Instant pot.)

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.

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.

I bought this Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine as a Christmas present for my wife because we loved the original Joule and I was excited about the idea of being able to sous vide something in half the time. As far as immersion circulators go, I'd say that the Joule is amazing. I think that the Turbo is a gimmick that should have been a firmware update to the original and I have been extremely disappointed with how few turbo recipes the app has. If you don't already have a Joule, the turbo would be a good purchase, but I wouldn't recommend buying a turbo if you already have a Joule.

I actually have had a Joule since before Breville bought them, so like about a decade. This is Hans’s down the best Sous vide immersion circulator on the market. I’ve actually used them so much that I burned through two of them before purchasing my third last week. I seriously mean that I use them for almost every dinner I make. Swordfish comes out perfectly moist and flaky, while remaining firm. Steak is perfectly medium rare edge to edge. Turkey breast? The absolute juiciest you’ll ever make in your life. I’ve even done a 24 hour tri tip in it before. It was the most incredibly tender tri tip I’ve ever made in my life. The possibilities are absolutely endless. Pair this with a chamber vacuum sealer, and you’ve basically turned your kitchen into a Michelin Starred restaurant. Whether you’re someone who has cooked for years or a novice, the Joule has you covered. You legit can’t overcook something if you tried because it only raises your product to the perfect doneness temp and holds it there. I truly cannot recommend this enough. I use it all the damn time and you will too when you get it!

Bought this for my son for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. He has been using it non stop, for different meals, different types of meats and vegetables. He hasn't had a fail yet. The accuracy of the app in setting the exact right times/temps makes every meal come out perfect. I've been lucky enough to enjoy a couple of these meals myself, and I can attest to the perfection of the results. I wondered if it would be an issue in that it only works off an app, no switch or settings on the actual unit, but my son doesn't mind that at all, in fact, he prefers to use an app regardless.

No lo compren! No sirve sin la aplicación y la aplicación solo está disponible para USA. No entiendo por qué lo venden en otros países.

O equipamento é simplesmente muito bom, mas tem restrição para uso fora dos EUA e CANADÁ.

This came with an American plug, item had to be returned after waiting 2 weeks for it. - disappointed friend on Christmas Day Update: I bought an adapter before returning, I went to the App Store only to be told that ‘This app is not currently available in your country or region’. As there is no controls on the actual Joule, this item is useless. Why would you even ship to this country when it can’t be used here?

Bought this for my husband the cook! His friend uses one and he was saying how he would love to have one to try out! Well, now he does! It does exactly what it says it does and his dinners have turned out perfectly! Higher priced but your paying for quality! You don't need to purchased expensive meat with this, as it makes it tender and juicy!
