The Nomiku Immersion Circulator would be a great device if it were built to last. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear to be made very well. I bought this device 6 months ago. During that time, we used it about a dozen times. The Nomiku is very easy to use (fill a large pot, clip it to the side of the with the built in clip, plug it in, set temperature, and drop in your vaccum sealed food). We cooked steaks, fish, and chicken using various recopies... all were perfectly cooked (although it takes some experimentation to get used to the level of seasoning and to make better use of dry rubs which seem to work best for sous vide cooking IMHO, but that is an issue with learning sous vide not specific to the Nomiku).
Unfortunately, my Nomiku suddenly failed for no apparent reason with a cryptic "Error 16" message. Our roast which had been cooking overnight was presumably compromised (can't tell what temp it feel to after the failure, but obviously we don't want to risk eating it now). When we found the device in the "Error 16" mode, there was nothing obviously wrong: water level was good, nothing was blocking the impellers. Unplugging the device, cleaning it, and cooling it down did not fix anything. We have a support request in to the company and will need to return the unit for repair/replacement. However, I doubt I would trust Nomiku with my food again; having a total failure, with a cryptic error message, after only a dozen uses does not bode well.
I know many people have had long term success with their Nomiku. I can't say why ours failed for sure, but I suspect it is due to inferior "home use" only quality. Why? Because one of the ways that we were using our Nomiku was for extended cooking (24-48 hours) of tougher cuts of beef ("cowboy" steaks for example) The cuts of meat we used were steaks that we ordinarily would never have eaten. This is a method of cooking (that is discussed in our sous vide books), however, results in a surprisingly tender and flavorful steak and really highlighted the benefits of sous vide cooking methods. However, long term cooking probably puts a strain on a "home use" device like this. My next sous vide machine will be a commercial quality device that can stand up to the rigors of all forms of sous vide cooking.

Where did you get the inspiration for your product?
We saw so many amazing restaurants using sous vide machines, but they were so expensive and so big. We thought "why should only professional chefs have this?", so we decided we wanted to bring sous vide--and the incredible food it produces--to everyone! Restaurant-quality food at home. Why shouldn't everyone be eating the best food they can?
What differentiates your product from similar products out there?
Our product is the original. From our form factor to our vision of making sous vide available for all home cooks-- it was ours first. That passion and desire has allowed us to make Nomiku the smallest and most powerful sous vide immersion circulator on the market with a community of highly engaged supporters behind us. They've produced amazing recipes and thought of sous vide hacks that we never would have thought of!
Tell us about the best and most challenging parts of the creation process.
The most challenging part was making everyone happy, from the professional chef to the casual homecook. Iteration of many designs helped us get there!
