Vesta Imersa Elite Sous Vide Review
This is a very high quality model, you can feel it's a lot more durable than your standard consumer model, but this quality makes it two to three times the price of consumer models. This model has a rectangular shape and is a lot wider than the tube design you find on most sous vide models. It's just over 4" wide, so it may not fit in smaller curved cookware. The control module is designed to mount over the front of the pot, which puts the cord in an awkward location.

This model puts out 1200 watts of power, which is higher than the average for the models we reviewed. It has a flow rate of 1.2 GPM, which is higher than 2.0 GPM average for the models we reviewed. This high power and high flow rate on this model means you will have to be much more vigilant about the water level on extended time cooking projects. The high power and flow rate of this model means it will reach your set temperature a lot more quickly than most models.

We don't have any real complaints about this model other than the price. It's probably more powerful and durable than most people will ever need. If you are going to use it frequently or do a lot of extended cooking projects this may be a good choice for you, but for most people the Anova Bluetooth Sous Vide is a much better value.
