This Slow Cookers give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Does exactly what you'd hope ... for a price
EDIT: Still enjoying this machine after more than 1 year. I tend to use it at least once a week for fish. I also occasionally use it for (not-so-good) steak. Oh, and it excels at leg of lamb. I do want to note that the difference between tenderness and juiciness has never been more apparent to me than when I used this device - there's a reason it's recommended to serve sous vide meat with a sauce or jus. I note that there is a sous vide machine available through Amazon that's about half the size and half the price. I've never used it, but it looks like it might be a way to try this method of cooking without spending a fortune, although I question if the size is large enough for a small family. Finally, there's an excellent comment about cooking meat to two different levels of doneness in the comments section that I encourage you to check out...

This review is for the SousVide Supreme Demi. I've never seen or used the larger Supreme model, which is about 50% more...
2. It's like there's a Michelin Star chef in my kitchen
The Sous Vide Supreme Demi is absolutely amazing. It has done a brilliant job on the meats and vegetables I've cooked in this unit. It has easily been the best purchase I made for my kitchen ever (along with the FoodSaver vacuum sealer of course). I usually hate cooking, but I'm having so much fun cooking with this unit, because the food comes out amazing. I think its harder to screw up the cooking with the Sous Vide Supreme than it is to do it right.
I've experimented with all kinds of tough cuts of beef (because the manufacturer says it can do it) and boy does it ever. I took some tough beef shoulder steaks that were cut bigger than I wanted as a steak, I tried to cut them down raw into smaller steaks but they weren't budging with my knives, I cooked them for about 16 hours overnight in the Sous Vide Supreme Demi overnight at the 134 degrees and when I took out the huge steak to sear it, the steak literally fell into three smaller steaks while trying to flip it. And...

Excellent little device
These were available for a limited time at costco and I'm very happy I jumped when I saw one (costco's return policy = no risk early adoption). I've only had it a week, but have cooked a few things in it. Chicken breasts @ 140f for 2 hours was delish, carrots with a little butter magnificent, scrambled eggs were custardy in a way I thought impossible. The critical thing it does well that a lot of hack sous vide options can miss on is the constant temperature. Various levels of water have fluctuated no more than 1 F for this first week of use. I'm looking forward to doing to some longer cooks with beef this weekend.
If you're the type of person that thinks "ok tonight I'm shooting for a michelin star dinner at home" this is a nice weapon to have in your arsenal. Is it necessary? No, but the hands free consistency that it provides, especially for proteins frees you focus on other details that can really elevate your food to new levels. There's a lot of cook ahead uses...
