I'm fairly new to Sous Vide cooking and so I started with the Anova cooker from Costco. As soon as I turned it on my entire household complained of the noise it made. There was a constant annoying buzzing/humming sound. It's hard to describe, but it was maddening. I loved how it cooked, but I could not deal with the sound so I returned it. In hopes that not all SV cookers made this similar sound, I turned to Amazon for my next purchase. I ordered the KitchenBoss G322, Yedi Infinity, and of course this one the KitchenBoss G310. To my excitement, all 3 were pretty silent, with the KB models being the quietest. None of the models were wifi enable like the Anova, but honestly, after using them, it didn't make any sense to have wifi or bt enabled cookers. Ok, I ended up liking the older model KB G310 the best because it was simple. I choose my temp and time and hit start. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I didn't like the preset features of the G322 model. It was too difficult to set the temp and time I wanted. I had to use or edit the presets, which I didn't like. The Yedi was okay, but I didn't like how I would have to remove a screw in order to clean the elements and it wasn't waterproof. Not a good feature for an appliance you use around water. So, if you want a great affordable SV cooker, that has the power to heat quickly and the precision to heat consistently, then KitchenBoss is a great brand.
