Bad news: my sous vide died (my wife dropped it into the water bath a few days ago and whenever she turns it on, it trips breakers. we've owned it long enough (5+ years) that we won't be getting money back for it).
Worse news: I had purchased the Polyscience Professional, which I really liked. Simple to operate, it got to temperature pretty quickly and it could handle up to 8 gallons, so I could cook more or larger items. But .... Polyscience is not cheap.
Better news: Polyscience just came out with the HydroPro and the HydroPro Plus. Only difference is that the plus has a temperature probe. Looks like an upgrade even over the Polyscience Professional: handles up to 12 gallons; 3 different circulation speeds; sous vide tool box built into the display/control unit; impeller circulator; coil-less heater; de-scaling warning (important because we have really hard water). Most importantly, it is water resistant so they claim it will resist short drops into the water.
While I mourn the loss of my old sous vide, it is a comfort that the new one will have some definite improvements.
