Is Cook Unity better than Factor 75? (Unsponsored, unaffiliated)

- A review of Cook Unity, yet another meal delivery service. Compared to Factor and Fresh n lean, I would rank it at the top. For my purposes, it was the cheapest, with some of the best quality, portions, and flavor. I taste test four different meals, walk through the ordering experience, and verify portion weights.

I used Cook Unity for about 8 months in 2023 in Midwest region. I was very happy with the quality and selection of meals. I had an occasional issue with a container arriving opened but customer service was quick to credit my account when contacted. I was getting 12 meals per week and took a break because of redundancy of the menu over time. You mentioned the sodium is not on that packaging, but I do remember seeing the numbers on the website when ordering. It was interesting to see your analysis on actual weight - definitely a service I am considering going back to.
Waiting for my first delivery this week
Great info! I just placed my first order with Cook Unity. Also, thank you for the shout out to the American flatware manufacturer! I will definitely support! 🙂
how did u like it?
It's an easy win by witnessing how CookUnity meals outnumber the competitors' offering in terms of salmon, shrimp and asian recipes.
I think you're right about the market share thing. I wonder if they're able to hemorrhage money for long enough to gain considerable market share like amazon does with competitors - especially in a space where people can very easily switch subscriptions to another company if they don't like the raised prices later on
Would love an update on how future orders from Cook Unity went. If the price drastically increased, if they portions were consistently under the listed weight, etc. Also if you consider changing, trifecta is another highly praised meal delivery that I don't think you've mentioned trying before.
So far, everything is still good. If they ever change things, I'll try to remember to update.
After a year with Factor, because of repetitive delivery issues, we switched over to Cook Unity and after a month, I wish we would have made the switch sooner.
Without the discount... $69 for *four* meals? That's almost as bad as eating out at a restaurant. 🤨
Yes, it's not cheap. My use for these is that they are quick meals that are way healthier than fast food or traditional frozen dinners. It's not much more expensive than drive through these days (in my area at least), and you get actual vegetables and food that isn't all deep fried. Thus, it's mostly to keep me from making unhealthy choices on food whenever I'm hungry and in a hurry. But you're definitely not going to save money compared to cooking for yourself.
@@TechDregs I struggled for a long time before finally committing to prepping meals for the week. I control all the contents and amounts and it costs me a fraction of these types of meal plans. Maybe do a video on how-to, pros/cons and benefits of meal prep?
If I ever get into that, I might.
@@TechDregscookunity seems to be focused around lazy people. If you really did your research their prices are insane. You compare it to McDonald’s and Taco Bell then yes. A healthy chipotle bowl is $12 pretax. Can even split up the bowl for lunch/dinner.
The only thing worthwhile there is the chicken katsu😂
Lazy or people who are busier. That's how all convenience items work. You could also say that Chipotle is for lazy people who don't want to cook their own food. And using salsa from a jar is for lazy people who don't want to make their own. And using store bought tomatoes is for lazy people who don't want to grow their own tomatoes. It's all trade offs.
When do they come for the bag? I am pretty concerned if they come when I am not at home
I put it out on the day the next delivery is coming.
Are you sure the serving weight wasn't before it was cooked? Meat will lose quite a bit of weight. I am trying it out in a couple of weeks to see how it is. Price is comparable to some of the nicer meal kits you have to cook yourself.
Weight should be package contents, not pre-cooked weight, as these come already cooked.
Gotcha. I'll see how mine go. Sounds tasty and a lot cheaper than grubhub or similar haha
By you saying that Cook Unity may change their prices, or may go out of business, definitely not your place to say unless you own the company.. When I heard you say that I thought about not trying them but I’m taking your recommendation.
it's part of the review, you don't have to believe it
He said he was concerned about it. It's his opinion, therefore it is his and no one else's place to say. He could say it might be run by lizard people if he wanted to.
@godmagnus I stand by my statement, and my statement is, of course, mine! It was my place to say it because I was responding to his post! I had a problem with his opinion, and I let it be known! In the end, I took his advice, and I'm loving my meal prep from Cook Unity!
26 minute food review and you spent 25 mins talking about packaging. GG
way too much talking about ??????
