I had a sous vide cooker for many years but have moved away from using it so much and now am doing more reverse-sear cooking where I start at a low temperature in the oven and then sear at the end. I use a remote thermometer to monitor the temperature of the food in the oven so it doesn;t overcook. The low cooking temperatures will be close to 200F, so it's not as foolproof as using the sous vide which can precisely regulate the temp you select.
But, one advantage of the reverse sear is that the initial low temp cooking dries out the surface of the meat making it easier to sear, whereas you always have to wipe down the sous vide cooked food before searing.
But, with recent concerns about micro-plastics in food, I am not sure if the plastic I use in the recloseable zip-loc style freezer bags is entirely safe when using it for sous-vide cooking. I have not seen or read definitive evidence either way, so I decided to reduce cooking in plastic until there is more scientific evidence on the subject.
EDIT: The general consensus is that the polyethylene plastic used in such recloseable zip-loc-style bags does not release significant harmful chemicals when used at the temperatures involved with sous vide cooking.

This is a good price..
I don't mind app access.
But to require an app to even use basic functions is a deal breaker for me

App only temp/timer controls does kill this for me, though. On-demand obsolescence is not my idea of good design. That said, for this price, it's probably worth it even if the app is only supported for a year or 2 (cause it'll probably stay functional for a couple years beyond that).
