    Love the new sous vide. Decided on this one at recommendation of cooking illustrated magazine, was their highest rated. It has not disappointed. Holds consistent and accurate temp and not too loud. Can’t ask for anything more.

    The Precision Cooker was easy to set up and easy to use. I downloaded the app and set the temp and it heated right up. The only thing I'm not sure of if my phone and the Cooker needs to stay on the same wi-fi. I switched my wi-fi off on my phone and the Cooker appeared to shut off. I had to go somewhere and I had to leave my phone at home just to be sure. The instructions Weren't the best, thus 4 stars.

    Awesome for cooking steaks, chicken and salmon. Super easy to use. Just set the temperature and forget about it. No way you can overcook your food. I bought one for my father and he loves it also. Cooking food just became a lot easier with this.

    Love this! I cooked my husband prime rib and it came out perfectly. There are plenty of online recipes to use with this device. You can use it using any pot you might have on hand. This little thing is so easy to store and doesn't take up space.

    We were just recently introduced to this way of cooking...it is amazing. Cheaper cuts of steaks turn out amazingly tender and cooked exactly to our specifications. We are excited to try it out on several different kinds of meats.

    This is my second Anova precision sous vide cooker. I opted for the 1000watt and like it. It is fast at reaching and maintaining temperature. I purchased it in store. Love my Best Buy points to bring the cost down too.

    The only sous vide cooker that you will need

    This is the most reliable sous vide cooker that you can use. The App offers many recipes from Anova as well as from users. The WiFi features allows you to monitor status even when you're not home. Be advise that sometimes the App has problemas and you can't control the cooker; but you can view status. That's the only reason I'm giving it 4 stars.

    Worked great. Have 20 lbs of ribeye and tenderloin. Cooked it all to medium rare, and froze it. Take a steak out and thaw it. Then put it on a cast iron fry pan to brown and shear it. A wonderful way to cook.

    Easy to use controls and mobile app. It was more powerful than I expected as I had heard reviews say it can take some time to get up to temp but my experience was that it came up to temp relatively quickly.

    We were skeptical about this method of cooking steaks. But once we had it our ways of cooking has changed. Perfect gift for Dad’s or Husband’s. Great for busy Mom’s as well. You just drop it in the water and let it cook.

    Purchased as a gift, but we used it to cook some steak after he opened it. Worked perfectly, as expected. Being able to monitor and control through the app was nice but I appreciate that it is not required.

    Was skeptical, but after trying out a ribeye cooked using sous vide then seared on a cast iron, I had to get one. Easy to setup and use.
