Best kitchen tool I have ever purchased! Meats come out tender and juicy, even chicken! Desserts are amazing! Such a time saver, meal prep is a breeze. There are a ton of recipes out on the web however you can access exclusive anova recipes through their app, included with this model. The app is a lifesaver for starting your meal remotely. Easy to clean. Worth the money for a busy lifestyle.

Simple and easy to use. The only thing i wish was better was how long it can retain moisture after your done using it which is to be expected.

Love it but heat up the water first

Works great! One warning is to use hot water and cover the vessel. Cold water almost takes an hour to heat up to a cooking temperature. The wifi feature with the recipes is very helpful. It's easy to put your own spin on spices and such. I have chef friends that use this unit. My chef friends told me they all heat up their water first.

I bought this to replace an Anova Nano, as I wanted something I could remove the collar and body to clean and to use with a modified cooler for long cooks.
Not only is it more powerful than the nano and the guest gen Precision, it's smaller than the first gen Precision! Bonus!
It works rock solid and the Wifi connection to the device is soooo much better than the Bluetooth the nano has. I can accurately monitor my cooks from anywhere, where the Bluetooth connection with the Nano dropped and reset the cook time to zero in the app so it was rather useless and I always had to manually set the times and temps. Not that big of a deal to set and forget on the device urself. Just having the ability to accurately monitor the cook from the app is convenient sometimes.
I've used it several times since I purchased it, along with the Anova silicone lid that works great with my 10" wide stock pot. It warms the water fast than my Nano and with the silicone lid, I had no water evaporation with a 24 hour cook on a pork roast.
For first time users, the nano works fine and you can use the extra money and buy a vacuum sealer, which I guarantee you won't regret!

Quick and Easy way to Sous Vide

We are novice sous viders and was intimidated by how sophisticated it looked. It was a little confusing to use the bag sealers because there's one for cooking (the thicker one) and one for storing food. One you get over the sealing though, the sous vide is a breeze and consistently delivers steakhouse quality meat!

Great Precision Cooker Works as Advertised

Precision cooker works as advertised. Set up was easy, downloaded app and set up with WiFi, and it’s easy to use. Meat, potatoes and veggies turn out perfect. Set up directions could have been a little better, but I figured it out easy enough. Got this for a great price. Picked this up during a “Deal of the Day” promotion.

This is so easy to use. The food tastes amazing! It turns out perfectly. I have always struggled to make pork chops without over or undercooking them. With the sous vide they turn out perfectly every time. I love the Bluetooth feature. I start it while I’m away and it’s done by the time I get home.

I have used twice since purchased. Steaks were very delicious and the roast was,too. It is still hard to believe your are cooking with hot water. The app had super easy recipes to follow. The cost is pretty spicy. I hope it continues to work well so I can use many times to get my money’s worth.

Souse Vide Cooking

This cooker is absolutely wonderful !! We have used it to Sous Vide steaks and also bone in beef short ribs. The meat comes out very tender. We vacuum seal the meat first to make sure there are no leaks in the bag. You may want to braise some meats first before cooking.

Purchased this on Deal of the day for a great price. I probably would not have paid full price. It was a little challenging trying to get the cooker connected to the ap/wifi, and then wait for it to update. I have tried a few recipes so far. It definitely does cook the meat to the precise temperature. I would have to experiment a bit more before I could give a more reliable review. Seems promising but with any new kitchen device, will take some getting used to.

Great product and I have used it a few times now since getting. I have always been fascinated by Sous Vide cooking and thought that I would give it a whirl (sorry for the pun).
The product is reasonably powered and connects relatively easily to your smart phone using WiFi. The app itself works decently on my android smart phone. It allows you to set the temperature and time as well as search tons of recipes.
In terms of power, I opted for this model with 1000W as it seems like many people had complaints on the smaller models maintaining temperature. I definitely would not get anything smaller than this size. It is struggling a little bit keeping a 10 quart pot of water at 185 degrees but this could also be a bit of the size / format of the pot. I have ordered a polycarbonate bin that has a lid and apparently that helps maintain the temperature. If you are going to be cooking for a lot of people and have a large basin, I suggest you consider the pro model.
My first cook was steak - worked perfectly to get the temperature to 130 and then seared on the stove in a screaming hot cast iron pan. I am currently cooking beets in balsamic for a salad as well as a coconut ginger mashed sweet potato (both recipes in the app). It did struggle to maintain 185 as I mentioned so I actually put the pot on the stove and put it on the lowest simmer to give it a bit of help which seems to work well. A good tip, pre-heat the water before putting into the bin so you aren’t starting with cold water.
My only complaint on the app is that I thought I might have a better time looking at recipes on my iPad but it is the exact same interface as on the phone, doesn’t even show you more... Just makes it bigger. Would like the app to leverage the tablet format.
As for the device, works great. My only suggestion for enhancement is that it would be great to see the water level inside of the app so that you can get a warning if water evaporates.

One mighty Sous Vide circulator!

I am using this ANOVA circulator with a 26 quart insulated container with a lid. Per the manual, this is actually pushing the limits of the maximum volume of water that it is designed to handle. So far, it has done a fine job of maintaining temperature. The hottest cook I've done thus far was 190° and it worked great. I must comment that, with that volume of water, it does take quite some time to heat up to the target temperature. I've helped it along by taking some of the water from the container and bringing it up to a boil on the stove, then adding it to the water as it is preheating. That shaves quite a bit off if the preheat time. Everyone that loves perfectly cooking their meats should one one of these. It is well worth the investment.

Love this product. I am fairly new to sous vide & this has worked great. I have been using my foodsaver to bag my seasoned meat, plop it in the water, visit with family/friends, and the beep sounds and it's almost done. I open the bag, the smells are very aromatic and I brown the meat in a pan for just a couple of minutes and serve. Can't wait to try more things using the sous vide method.
