The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other slow cookers, electric pressure and rice cookers, sous vide, food dehydrators, egg cookers, popcorn poppers, and ice cream and shaved ice machines we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
MEAT! Your Maker is a brand primarily known for meat processing equipment, including grinders and sausage stuffers, so a sous vide circulator is a natural extension of its product line. The 1165893 runs at 1200W, placing it slightly above the standard 1100W found on most consumer mid-range circulators, and draws 110V power.
The housing is stainless steel in a gray and black colorway. At 3.5 lb and 10 x 7 x 5 inches, the form factor is somewhat different from the tall slim-profile design common to most circulators. Touch controls manage temperature and timing directly on the unit.
With 27 reviews at 5.0 stars, the sample is small but perfect in score. A 5.0 from 27 buyers is statistically fragile, and the $299.95 price requires confidence that the limited review pool does not tell the whole story. At this price, the KitchenBoss G330 and even the PolyScience CRC-5AC1B offer larger review communities.
Performance notes
At 1200W and 110V, the 1165893 delivers faster preheat than 1000 to 1100W models on equivalent water volumes. The 10 x 7 x 5 inch dimensions are notably more compact in height than typical clip-on circulators, which at 15 to 16 inches tall are designed for submersion in deep containers. This shorter profile may suit different container types, so verify depth compatibility with your preferred cooking vessel before purchasing.
What buyers say
Twenty-seven reviews at 5.0 stars is a genuinely positive but limited signal. At this early stage of the review cycle, the absence of critical feedback may reflect a small and enthusiastic early-adopter group rather than a definitive verdict on long-term quality. Buyers who value community validation will want to wait for more reviews before committing at $300.

Is the MEAT! Your Maker 1165893 suited to cooking proteins other than red meat?
Yes. Despite the brand name, sous vide circulators cook any protein or vegetable using the same mechanism, precise temperature-controlled water. Chicken, fish, eggs, and vegetables all work well. The brand's focus on meat processing is a marketing identity, not a technical restriction.
How does the 10 x 7 x 5 inch form factor differ from other circulators?
Most immersion circulators are 15 to 16 inches tall and 2 to 4 inches in diameter, designed to clip over the edge of a deep pot. The 1165893's dimensions suggest a different mounting or container style. Confirm with the product listing how it attaches to a container before purchasing, as this affects which pots and bins are compatible.
