We compared two immersion circulator sous vide cookers: the KitchenBoss Sous Vide Cooker G310 and the Wancle Sous Vide Machine Precision Cooker.
What we looked at
Motor and water-flow design, temperature control, and price.
The verdict
If you want a stainless-steel design with a brushless DC motor and a free celebrity-chef e-cookbook, the KitchenBoss is the pick at £72.84, though it costs £20.85 more. If you would rather pay less for a compact, 40% smaller design with 3D water circulation and tighter ±0.1°C temperature control, the Wancle is the value option, at £51.99.
