The product, in the report: Polyscience Sous Vide Professional
I’ve had this product for about two years and used about 30 times. I was using it to maintain a water temp of 85 degrees Celsius. After about two hours there was a burning smell. I didn’t immediately notice where it was coming from, but then I noticed a lot of smoke and the side paneling started melting inward. I opened the unit and noticed a lot of char around the heating wire and associated connections. It melted the insulation and destroyed the contact connections.
