Vpcok Direct 805A Sous Vide Immersion Circulator review
An immersion circulator at 1,000 W with a published range of 77 to 199 °F (25 to 92.5 °C), 360-degree circulation, and an LCD touch display angled for reading from above. The stainless cover and propeller rinse under running water, and Vpcok publishes three protections: power, overheat and low water level.
The net of it A sound entry point with one important blank. Vpcok publishes the range in full — 77 to 199 °F (25 to 92.5 °C) — three named protections including dry-running, and a stainless business end that goes under the tap. What it does not publish is the figure this family is actually judged on: temperature stability. A circulator is a thermostat, and a thermostat without a stability figure is an unquantified thermostat.
What it publishes
1,000 W, a range of 77 to 199 °F (25 to 92.5 °C), 360-degree circulation, and
an angled LCD touch display — angled so it can be read from standing
over a pot rather than crouching beside it.
Three protections, named
Power protection, overheat protection, and low water level
protection against dry running. That third one is the failure mode of an
immersion heater: the water drops below the element and the element keeps
heating. A maker that names it has designed for it.
The blank
No temperature stability figure. An immersion circulator is a heater,
a pump and a thermostat, and stability — how tightly it holds the target —
is what separates one from another. Vpcok publishes the range and not the
precision.
No pump flow either, and no clamp opening or minimum water
depth, so fit against your own pot cannot be checked.
Cleaning
The stainless cover and propeller come off and rinse under running
water. On the part that lives in a bath for hours, that is the right
design.
On temperatures
Every temperature on this page is the range the machine can hold. What
temperature suits a given food, how long it should be held, and what is
safe to eat afterwards are matters for the manufacturer’s own instructions
and for your national food safety authority. This site reports the
instrument.
Buying it in the United States
This reference, B0CM66H3KY, is sold on the German, British, French and
Italian Amazon stores and returns no page on Amazon.com, so the button on
this page runs a search instead. A circulator bought from a European store
is built for 220–240 V.
The circulators on this site that are sold on Amazon.com publish the same
things and more. The Greater Goods
at $89.99 publishes 68–203 °F in 0.5 °F steps, a low-water cutoff — the
same dry-run protection Vpcok names — and five years of coverage; the
Monoprice Strata Home at $74.90 has the
widest temperature range on the shelf. The full comparison is on the
sous vide page.

What readers want to know
What does low-water protection do?
Vpcok states it prevents the circulator running dry — the element switching off before it is heating air instead of water. It is the failure mode of an immersion heater, and Vpcok is one of the two makers on this site to name it.
Where do the cooking temperatures come from?
From the manufacturer’s own material and from your national food safety authority. This page reports the range the appliance can hold — 77 to 199 °F (25 to 92.5 °C) — and does not tell you what temperature to use for any food, or what is safe to eat afterwards. Those are not questions this site answers.
Our score
7.2/ 10
A sound entry point with one important blank. Vpcok publishes the range in full — 77 to 199 °F (25 to 92.5 °C) — three named protections including dry-running, and a stainless business end that goes under the tap. What it does not publish is the figure this family is actually judged on: temperature stability. A circulator is a thermostat, and a thermostat without a stability figure is an unquantified thermostat.

1,100 W · 40–90 °C (104 to 194 °F) · 16 L/min · IPX7
The only sous-vide appliance here that publishes a pump flow rate: 16 liters a minute, through a metal propeller on a 45-degree double-inclined spiral wheel KitchenBoss states is unusually quiet. 1,100 W, 40 to 90 °C (104 to 194 °F), IPX7, an LED touch display, SUS304 stainless on everything immersed, and a clamp that stays on the rim when the stick is lifted out.

Not a stick but a tank: an 8.5-liter sous-vide cooker in a stainless housing with a non-stick cooking container, adjustable from 45 to 90 °C (113 to 194 °F) on a 72-hour timer. Slow-cook, yoghurt and keep-warm functions are included, along with tongs and a stainless rack.
Best for: Long cooks, and a kitchen that would rather not tie up a stockpot for eighteen hours.
