The fusionchef Diamond is a commercial grade sous vide circulator. Julabo, the manufacturer of the Pearl, is one of the global leaders in precision temperature control equipment, similar to PolyScience. They have used this experience and expertise to create a premium line of kitchen durable immersion circulators. The circulators are German designed with an exacting level of precision and durability necessary in today's culinary business.

On the face of the circulator there is a small tag which reads, "Crafted in Germany" - that says it all! When you pick this thing up, all 11 pounds (5kg), it feels like a tank. It is clear this sous vide circulator has been designed for the rigors of a restaurant or caterer kitchen. Although some of the performance parameters are quite similar to circulators designed for the home cook, there are others that clearly set this apart for commercial use.

The Diamond has 1200 W of heating power and a powerful pump moving 14 L/minute of water. This allows the Diamond to be used in water baths up to 15.32 gallons (58L).

The fusionchef Diamond is the top circulator in the fusionchef line. It is relatively smart with 15 customizable presets and 3 timers. There are also two connections in the rear of the unit. An RS232 to a PC for control and HACCP data logging. The second connects to a core temperature sensor.
