    Really good connectivity, the retention is good but mine did break from a small drop cause it’s made of plastic. Kind of a bummer but nothing $10 on Amazon can’t fix. Will say not as good as my all clad for heating efficiency. Says one thing actually another. But is super quiet and $50 cheaper.

    The Anova sous vide cooker is the best way to cook a boneless lamb leg roast, beautiful medium rare and tender! You almost can’t believe how easy it is, set the temperature and set the time and ten hours later it’s done

    It's nice. It's better than others in that it has the option of using buttons instead of having to install an app to use it.

    I use my sous vide all the time to make batched chicken and salmon for meal prep. Using it is very easy and hands off and results are very consistent. It’s a convenient way to cook. The drawback is you are cooking things in plastic. Do note that you need additional set up materials like a large pot of water and things to weight it down and keep it in the water. There is also a learning curve involved to do sous vide cooking and it doesn’t work for everything you might want to make. But the Anova app is super helpful and easy to learn and explore with.

    I have purchased at least 10 of these. I have two in Tahoe, two in Newport, and have purchased at least 6 as gifts for other people. These are fantastic. Turn cooking of proteins (meat and fish) into scientific perfection. Wow. And so easy to manage entertaining. You can worry about everything else and just pull out your meat or fish whenever you are ready.

    Exactly the product it describes. Once the thing is wifi calibrated it is very easy to use. It should be noted if you wish to tighten the knobs to keep the device steady in its clamp stand that the side knob ; a clamp you'd assume to tighten the device into the clamp doesn't do such.

    This is replacing an original Joule, I received it at a fraction of the cost, but feel it is a less quality product compared. Does not connect to the app well, it takes longer to heat up than the joule. Having controls on the unit instead of an app is a easier than the joule but adds bulk

    Didn't this that I would like no love this thing the way that I do. I have always been a smoke steak and grilled steak man but the little lady forced me to get this thing and try it. I have to say one of her few good suggestions lol. 1 hour @128 degrees and a 2 min pan sear will change your life.

    I’m really enjoying my Anova sous vide! I’ve used it around 6 time since I purchased it around 2 months ago and have had zero issues. I had read in previous reviews before I purchased my Anova that some people had problems with WiFi connectivity but that has not been my experience. The temperature has so far also held constant on every use. I am definitely sold on sous vide!

    Excellent Sous Vide or Precision Cooker

    Been experimenting but so far we love to make steaks with the Sous Vide. It seals in flavor and cooks the steak perfectly from edge to edge. Another plus is that you can cook the food for long periods and it won’t go above the preset temperature. Then you finish it off in the end by give it a nice sear either in a pan or on the grill. We have decided to try it on Chicken and Fish next.

    I've been thoroughly impressed with the quality of the steaks I've cooked using this equipment. I'm eager to explore more recipes. While I had some initial doubts about the company, I decided to purchase both the food vacuum sealer and the Precision cooker, and they have proven to be excellent investments for my kitchen.
