There are ways for a sous vide machine to be obviously terrible, sure. But those early teething issues have long been solved by now. All the machines on the market nowadays aren't obviously terrible (except Joule not having on-device controls) and there's very little that differentiates them on a day to day use basis. As the tech becomes more mature, more and more of those factors are going to simply be assumed. Also, 3 decades of SV experience has shown us that there isn't any complexity in practice to SV recipes. 99% of SV recipes are 2 numbers (temperature and time) and the other 1% is 3 numbers (cook temp, cook time and hold temp). There's no magic hyper complex SV recipe that we haven't discovered yet and not for lack of trying.
