This is a boon for items that rise and set during cooking. When power
cycles on and off, the food rises, then collapses, rises, collapses,
and you end up with a collapsed result.

why pay more for something that does less? The advantage of commercial
nukes is larger size, high duty cycle, ruggedness and long MTBF. Theyre
quite out of place for domestic use, as they dont have the features
that are useful at home, and they have the features that are no use at
home.

TBH I think the OP is looking for something ill suited to the job out
of misinformation. What is needed is a nuke with a tt switch, and one
with both tt and stirrer, as performance with the tt off and no stirrer
would be poor.
