Chefman Sous Vide

response required

Connecting is fine but there are two issues. - Only one device can monitor the CM Sous Vide at a time (so no tablet then phone when your out) - Time remaining does not sync as often as temp to the app (often it just stays at 2hr while the temp changes in real time)

I just ordered the sous vide, and was checking out the app. Looks great, I'm so excited to start! (Will review more once the device arrives.) Only suggestion is on the recipes sometimes the options get lost because it's white text over light background in some of the videos. Other than that it looks gorgeous. I love the steps and videos combined and the calculator is awesome!

I own a chefman sous vide immersion cooker but use the ANOVA app for recipes, I find the chefman app disorganized, clunky and somehow outdated. I gave 3 stars because the cooker itself is amazing

For the most part, the app functions properly. The last update started causing issues with the Wi-Fi connection. Previously, it would move relatively seamlessly from Bluetooth to Wi-Fi as you move away from BT range (even when leaving the house). Now, once it goes to Wi-Fi, it starts bouncing the signal so frequently you can't even make temp changes. Once back in BT range, you basically have to reset by holding down the Wi-Fi "button" and then reconnect the device. Besides not having to control the device manually (not really an advantage without Wi-Fi working right), the only real advantage to the app is that there is a decimal reading that the unit itself does not have. Other issues like time and delay not updating for quite a while have been mentioned. I've also noticed it claiming to be preheating when it is already counting down the timer. All in all, someone just needs to do a more thorough QA job while actually using the unit/app.

I like it but theres still a problem. the clock will often start counting down but freeze at some point. this happens mostly when in bluetooth mode but has also happened in wifi mode. So I always have to use a backup method to keep track of cook times. And theres no calculations for bigger items like pork or beef Roasts. there definitely should be a lot more look types in the calculator. also. we recently had a brief power outage of less than a minute. the chefman didn't resume. lost the meat.
