Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this product on December 24th as a Christmas present for my wife. After learning that leaching can occur while cooking with plastics, my wife opted to return it. We never opened the box and still had the original receipt. We were told that we were ineligible to return this item on February 2nd because there is a two week return policy. I am now stuck with an expensive product that we will never use. Most company's follow policies that include service after the point of sell and I make it a habit to avoid those that don't. I am a Best Buy Card holder, which I will be cancelling, have purchased a Lenovo laptop, Dell Laptop, and an All-in-one computer along with many other products from Best Buy. We have always supported Best Buy but have never had to return an item. Now we know that it is best to take our business to a company who cares about customers after the point of sale. A Two week return policy is absurd and we will not return.

Super good buy. You can never go wrong. Good cooks

Absolutely amazing, used this to make a Turducken for Thanksgiving and it was the moistest chicken I've had in a long time and the duck was perfect too! This did great over a long period of time as well. I've already suggested this to multiple family members!

This was purchased as a gift, but I own one and have gifted others from this Brand and they are well worth the money, Friends with other brands have complained that their heaters have died or had other issues. These work well...period.

Two things come to mind about why I love this product. First, perfect cook every time. Second, very convenient for cooking exquisite meals when life can be a little crazy having small children.

Ive never had any sous vide up to this point but i can definitely say i was missing out! I really only use mine for meats but it is a game changer! Perfect meat everytime!

Great for ensuring your meat is safe to eat before cooking. Creates restaurant quality steaks, just pre-heat the pan to high and give all sides a nice sear for crispy on the outside, juicy in the middle.

Excellent, cooks as advertised. Works well with the app.

Work's like it supposed to. I have the 3.0 Pro for home and purchased this for work.

Game changer. I love using this thing. Makes meal prep a breeze for those busy days.

One of the best purchases ive made in awhile. Love learning different cooking methods, and this is one!

Wish it didnt need so much water in the pot. It takes a lot of water to operate.

Superb reliability and accuracy. So many uses for it

Works great, love having buttons instead of relying on a phone app.

Works nice and quicker than I expected. Pleased with my purchase

The review is related to best buy not the item. I never write reviews and do not complain about things normally... I returned the item and was issued an electronic gift card that was sent to the wrong email address. This is funny because I received a receipt to the correct email adress stating the gift card was sent. Human error no big deal. However, I spent almost 3 hours on the phone and was bounced all over best buy customer service to get a new card issued. For whatever reason a physical card had to be sent and would not arrive for 7-10 days preventing an immediate purchase. I had planned to buy an ipad for my kid to keep him occupied on an upcoming flight using the credit but because of the delay and dissatisfaction with best buy customer service I went somewhere else and doubt I'll do business with best buy again.

Annova now charges a subscription to use the app with this device and they stopped supporting older models. They have proven they dont care about their cuatomers so look elsewhare and avoid annova like the plague.

In less than 6 months this unit has failed. Needing to get a replacement, but don't feel it is fair that I pay the $33 protection plan since it only lasted for barely 2 weeks and used only once.

I’ve used sous vide cookers before and I did not like how long it took to get to temperature. The Anova Precision 3.0 gets a 12” stock pot to temp very fast. The device is fairly simple and straight forward, and is easy to connect to WiFi but you should be aware if you have a mesh network this might be a pain to connect. I don’t fully understand why it did not like to connect to my mesh network but I ended up needing to restart my router in order to connect the Anova Precision Cooker to Wifi. We used the cooker to cook filets and programmed the target temp and let it do it’s thing. Once done I seared the steak to mark it and it was very tender and juicy, as advertised. The best way I can describe the flavor difference with sous vide is the same way you know if you have had good BBQ; it’s tender and flavorful. The meat is in a vacuum sealed bag (not included with the cooker) along with all of your ingredients which preserved all of the juices, butter, and seasoning the entire time. As you can imagine this provides serious flavor that is difficult to replicate, but is easily done with the Precision Cooker. Some downsides are that you need to use a large stock pot that is at least 12” tall, so make sure you are cooking a solid meal before bringing it out. Also no vacuum seal bags were included with the unit so if you wan to try it out with vacuum sealed bags you will need to buy your own.

I've wanted a Sous Vide cooker forever and am so excited to finally have one! This gadget is pure magic. With it I have the ability to cook the most consistent perfectly cooked steaks. It really is dumby proof, you just set it and leave it and in a few hours you have the perfect meal. Using this precision cooker is pretty straight forward. You'll need a container for the water and a vacuum sealer to vacuum pack your meat for cooking in the water bath. Once you have that you just place this cooker in the water and set it to the necessary temp or use the app to walk you through the process. Cooking is really pretty simple you just set it and leave it, after a few hours you'll have a perfectly done piece of meat. What's really great about this system is there is zero risk of over cooking your food, it's impossible! The end product is a perfect piece of meat every time. You'll still need to crisp up your meat with a torch or a grill to give you a crsut since the sous vide can't do that. This cooker also comes packed with plenty of tech features such as an app and wifi connectivity, letting you cook from anywhere. Overall there is very little not to like about this cooker. It's small, takes up no space when your not using it and cooks amazing food. The only downside is the need for other specialized equipment to get full use, but the investment is well worth it.
