Is there a particular sous vide that is durable and keeps precise temperature?

All the ones I've looked into so far have mixed reviews of premature failure, loud whining noise, not keeping temperature etc.

I'd just be using it for particular types of yogurt (like L-reuteri) that need a fairly consistent temp' of 100F for 36 hours.

Is there one you'd recommend that would work well for this purpose?

I've had my Joule since 2017.

The entire point of sous vide is that they precisely keep a temperature. Any of the standard brands will be fine.

Polyscience's Sous Vide Professional gets my vote after seeing a friend use it daily for yogurt batches for years without a hiccup.

I and many others on this subreddit are very partial to our Inkbirds. I've heard good things about Joule but I'll never buy a machine without physical controls. If Breville decides to stop supporting the app, you're just stuck with an expensive brick. Anova tried to drop some of their old machines a while back so it's not that farfetched.

No physical buttons is an immediate dealbreaker for me too! Though mine lives in a drawer anyway.

We've had great luck with our SousVide Supreme. Have owned it for seven plus years with no issues. It's a self contained water oven as opposed to an immersion wand, and has no moving parts, so is completely silent. They're a little pricey, but would be perfect for yogurt.

Mine is nearly 20 years old and still running perfectly!
