Any one use this Sous Vide w/cooktop?

Pretty neat item it appears.  Got a corporate email from my company (that makes appliances) and this got my attention.  Email states special price $129 today.

It looks promising. I think that I'll take the plunge.

This appeared recently as an upgrade for a new GE stove I think.

The email I received it was with a GE Advantum microwave I believe, but was a separate item. I thought it was a GE product, but wasn't. At that price though, seems neat. The app was very appealing to me

This is what I was referring to:

I ordered one, do you have insider information as to when they will ship?

@paqman I didn't pay any attention to that originally, however looking back on this it says December!

Looks promising.  One degree precision is not quite up to par with promises made by other sous vide elments, example ANOVA, which is supposedly accurate to one-tenth of one degree, but for most folks it probably wouldn't make too much of a difference.  I think My wife may find this one easier to use, so the convenience may make up for any shortcomings in the precision.

Neat, but my concern is the integration of sous vide control with the induction cooker. Hypothetically, if the induction element/coil fails. is it feasible/economical to replace/repair it?

Not that I need a 4th sv unit!
