Sous vide machines are very simple and all do essentially the same thing. Buying a breville one is not worth the premium price. Someone convince me otherwise.
(I say this as someone who has a very expensive breville toaster oven and espresso machine, among other breville products that I love - I'm honestly curious if there's a reason to get this over a sous vide that's well under $100).

I wouldn't get the cheapest one, but overall you are correct, they pretty much do the same thing. Premium models usually have some nice touches, like this one has a magnet to hold it, remote control via app (but I feel like that might be a downside for some since there are no controls on the unit itself).

I bought an Anova Precision bundle w/ the 12L container for under $100. Item was a Christmas gift, used a couple of times and the person didn't have the patience for it. Regular price $199, Costco/Sam's Club usually sell them new around $140 during the holidays in a bundle. You can usually find them on eBay around $100-125 depending on time of year.
Breville bought the Joule/ChefSteps company in '19 year to bring into the fold. It's a good product, but not worth the extra money for my needs. The magnet is good w a pan that will fit the height. I'm either at home using it or slow-roasting so the wireless/app isn't a high priority for me.
Corned beef and rib roasts are amazing w/ the sous vide.

My 2 cents as I own the non turbo model.
Pros:
Very Slim versus the Anova I owned
Very Quiet versus the Anova I owned (the Anova annoyed me so much with its winding noise)
Nice app with recipes and videos on how to make your food.
Magnet base so it sticks to a pot versus having to hang it
Cons:
No physical buttons, app dependent
Bluetooth is finicky sometimes.
Pretty pricey, but I got mine for 130 via prime day and discover 30% stacking.
I wouldn't have purchased it at 200 though.

I got a cheap one at monoprice via SD, wanna say under $50 use it a few times a month last few years, from small plastic containers to a huge pork but in the sink. It works great, easy buttons and app. Not sure what would be 400% better or maybe a feature I'm not aware of. Def recommend sous vide if you cook at home.
