"I wanted to love this product, and for a while I did! I went to work right after receiving it and made perfect steaks, chicken, fish, anything you could think of.However, after about a week or two of use, the Yedi started making this horrible grinding sound. I would try to reposition and it would help somewhat, but eventually it would always come back. I did some investigating and it turns out, it's also a problem that happens sometimes with Anova sous vide cookers, where the shroud becomes misaligned and the motor starts hitting against it.The thing with the Yedi however, is that there's only one screw securing the shroud to the body. So, it acts as a pivot point, and there's no way that the shroud can sit flush. So, if you have any sort of pressure, like say, the wall of the container pressing against the machine, the shroud will pivot on that screw, go off center, start contacting the motor and making this terrible noise and sometimes throwing errors.For now, I've just removed the shroud, and engineered together some sort of way to prevent the heating element from contacting the sides of the container, but I'm worried that the bag or something will make it's way towards the motor and break it. Regardless, disappointing design flaw in an otherwise great product.EDIT: I was able to jerry-rig a solution. Apparently they say it touching the bottom of the container is fine (I thought it would've blocked something but there are other vents) so I just put some pieces of cork to basically push the shroud into place and it seems to work fine for now. No rattling sounds so far!"
