Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was skeptical on how this would work.... it is awesome! slow cook everything to perfection. I have been cooking my steaks at 129 for an hour, then finishing it up in a cast iron skillet (about 1 minute on each side) They come out like the ones at a Steak House!

We love this! It is so easy to use. We can use our large pot and cook multiple steaks to perfection while we are out . We get home and in a minute we have steaks cooked to the exact temperature we want.

This is so easy to set up, follow a cooking guide from the app and let it do its thing. You can leave it alone and wait for the app to alert you it’s done. Even if you don’t get to the food when it’s done it almost can’t over cook, it just maintains temperature.

I tried to download the Anova app from the Google Play Store, but couldn’t find it. Turns out the Anova app requires Android 7.0 to run, so, according to Anova Support, my 4-year-old Samsung S7 cell phone is already obsolete here. The unit only comes with a very small manual. Have your eyeglasses ready. The unit will not stand on its own because the bottom is rounded, so storage is awkward. You can store it in the box it came in, but that takes up more room. Some of the buttons on the unit are not visible, so you need the manual to even know where they are. As a first-time user, I set the cooking time for salmon for 40 hours, instead of 40 minutes. Fortunately, I was preparing the rest of the meal and discovered the error after 40 minutes. Cooking times can be hours, so it is not necessarily a time saving device. Typically, you will want to sear the food after cooking it sous vide, so there is more clean-up than conventional cooking. You have to mess with cooking bags, which can be somewhat awkward, and a little messy. So, after all this, why bother? Answer: the food is to die for! The salmon was light, moist, and flavorful --- nothing like dried out, over-cooked crap I get at most all restaurants

Have used it twice since Christmas, once for beef, once for pork. Both times it turned out perfectly. Both times we finished the meat on the grill for searing and grill flavor. The meats were perfectly done, moist and tender. Two thumbs up so far.

I love this product. I make my filets in it. I tried chicken the other day. I want to try my pork chops in it if I can convince my husband. He does most of cooking . he is not sure about it but did like chicken.

This device is fantastic sous vide device. We use it a lot more than we expected. Some connectivity issues here and there. Easy to use the app and kind of cool to set it and forget it, but be able to adjust it from the app.

Bought for steaks, but love it for chicken and fish too! So easy to cook the meat to perfection. No over cooking, the juiciest chicken breast we have ever eaten. Was deal of the day so half price wasn’t bad deal either.

We have thoroughly enjoyed the sous vide cooking method. It leaves meats Very tender and juicy on the inside. This Sous vide is very convenient and easy to use. We downloaded the app also.

Sous vide makes life so easy! works great for steaks -set it to the doneness you like then just sear... root vegetables dont lose their color... never overcooks because it temp CANT go past what water is set to -holds constant. I love my Anova!

Anova Precision Cooker is worth every dollar spent. We cook our steaks and salmon with this device and it comes out perfect 100% of the time. Device is really easy to use and design is simple.

I have been using my Anova Sous Vide cooker for a few years, and I gave three of these for my best friend and my daughters for Christmas presents -- and everyone loved them. My preference is cooking steaks, and these cookers prepare 5 star meals every time. I have also cooked butterfly pork chops, hamburgers, and some of my own personal creations, and the results are always perfect! This model has more wattage and also has Wifi, and it works perfectly. My brother is also a user of the Anova cookers and has three that he uses, and I recommended this for one of my neighbors as well. I am sold on the quality of cooking, the reliability of the unit, the brand, and Best Buy -- all that is a great combination for preparing excellent meals. Happy cooking!

Was skeptical at first about the way this cooks food but pleasantly surprised about how easy it was to use and how great the food turned out. Need to look online for ideas/recipes

This is our second Anova. We had the previous generation unit and decided to get this newer model when it was on sale. The wifi connects the unit to an app. It was easy to use. Wish the price were lower.

I had one of the original Anova sous vide cookers from way back. While it was a beast that I used weekly, I figured it was time to upgrade. This version is in a smaller package and much quieter, but doesn’t seem to work any better. I don’t care for WiFi connectivity - sous code is generally a “set it and forget it” way of cooking. The one thing I don’t like vs the original is that the mount does not allow me to submerge it nearly as much. This requires a much more water in a 12qt container almost to the point where it’s overflowing. Otherwise, it does the job. It doesn’t seem to heat any faster than the original, but I use hit tap water to begin anyway. The only other complaint is the box. I always store it in the original box and this one and I much preferred the original’s plastic packaging that didn’t break down when it gets wet like cardboard does. Still a great product if you’re comfortable with the cost.

Game changer! Once you sous vide a perfect, tender, flavorful piece of meat, you will not go back. We love this precision cooker. so easy to use and makes the best steaks.

This is an updated version from my older Sous Vide from ANOVA. Works great and consistent on the temperature. Seems better than the old version. I don't use the WIFI, but it's an option.

Great product! Changed how we cook at home and what we eat! We’ll never order steak in a restaurant again after using a sous vide at home!

This sous vide is so easy to use. Steaks are so tender and tasty and fish has never been better. We have been making meals with it twice per week since we get it! Highly recommended!

Very easy to use, great for steaks and results are great. Will recommend to anyone wanting perfectly cooked steak. Cleaning up was easy and app was easy to use.
