This new offering is a welcome addition to the immersion circulator market. As a long-time user of another model, I was already familiar with sous vide style cooking; however, the Gourmia GSV130 does offer several advantages over some commonly used models. First, the VERY simple user interface is easy to use and perfectly suitable for this style of cooking. Second, the clamp to secure the device to the 'water bath' vessel definitely represents an improvement over other widely used methods. Finally, this device can be had for 50-75% of the cost of other immersion circulators and an even lower percent of the cost of self-contained water bath systems.
It worked well in the 1.5L Rubbermaid Cereal Keeper http://www.amazon.com/Rubbermaid-Home-Cereal-Keeper-Clear/dp/B0014CX8ZW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8 but a container with a smaller opening would be an even better fit. For our inaugural cook, we did 8 burgers at 129F for 1.5 hours and finished with a torch... they turned out perfectly. I used a ThermaPen to check the temperature of the water during the cook and it registered at 130F.
