Are budget sous vide circulators accurate enough?

Reviewer consensus

According to the reviewers we read, modern budget units from Inkbird, Wancle, and Greater Goods generally hit and hold temperatures within a few tenths of a degree, which is more than sufficient for sous vide. The trade-offs are noisier pumps, slower heat-up times, and less polished build quality versus Anova and Breville.
