PolyScience Sous Vide Professional SVC-AC1B Review
This model was massive compared to the other 33 Sous Vide models we looked at. It was 14" tall 4" wide and weighed almost 10 pounds. That's a lot to have to deal with just to make dinner for your family. It's extremely high quality with an impact resistant polycarbonate housing. It puts out 1100 Watts of power and has a flow rate of 3.1 GPM putting it near the very top for all the models we reviewed. The controls are well laid out and easy to read, which is something we noticed and appreciated after reviewing less expensive and needlessly complicated models.

The quality and price of this model take this model out of reach for most people, and that's OK because it's honestly more machine than almost everyone needs. The PolyScience Creative Series Sous Vide is a consumer level model with commercial grade quality for people need a high end product.
