Sous Vide Stick - Anova Precision Cooker, WiFi 2nd Gen, 900 Watts (Edelstahl, 38 cm)

This was my second Anova - the first died when the temperature sensor failed - and I bought it before I found the first had a two year warranty. So I now have two fully working units as Anova replaced the first faulty one with a new unit in month 22!That I bought another despite a relatively quick hardware failure says a lot - I bought the first to replace my Sous Vide Supreme after it failed - it's a good unit with excellent support.You do need to think about a container though: it needs a fair amount of water to work well, and that's heavy, so a solid container is a must - and it needs to be well insulated, or you are going to waste a lot of electricity. I multipurposed my deep fat fryer (12L) with a 1/2 Gastronorm perspex lid and bored a hole in that to hold the unit - it works really well and has a drain tap to make changing the water a load easier.The WiFi is rubbish though: it works as long as you are at home, but as soon as your phone app loses the local WiFi that's it: you need to reconnect while within few feet of it. So starting it heating before you leave work is a no-no. Ignore that, and it's a two button unit: a rotary control to set the temperature, and a Start / Stop button. The display is good and clear, and it seems to be pretty accurate and quiet in operation.Worth buying, but don't forget: to get the most out of this, you need a good pot for it to work in, and a vacuum sealing system to bag the food in - the ziplock ones are all well and good, but they are impossible to clean properly, and don;t hold a vacuum well enough for freezer storage. You'll need to budget about the same again for a decent "external" vacuum sealer, or four / five times that for the cheapest Chinese "Chamber" sealer.

I just love it! If you do like healthy, easy to prepare food, then this is for you!

The phone app makes it much easier to use than alternative models. Easy to use , accurate

I bought this cooker to replace the Anova £119 Bluetooth version because Anova US advised that mine was faulty. On the unit, to switch the temperature base between Centigrade and Fahrenheit, you hold the start button for 3 secs. To set the timer, you hold the start button for 8 secs. OK - except every time you set the timer, the unit changes temperature base, so you have to go through the temp base switch again. Anova assured me this was wrong, so the unit was exchanged, this time for the WiFi / Bluetooth version, supposedly a 2nd generation version at £142. More expensive yes, but you get what you pay for - right- Wrong !The replacement unit arrived - with an eu plug, not a uk plug - extra expense- get an adapter. On switching on, the unit made a noise similar to what kids get when putting a piece of cardboard on their bike forks to strike the wheel spokes, this coming from the head of the cooker. Something fouling the motor. Lastly, the software 'error'in the controls, which Avova advised me was wrong, was still there. I found other poor quality control aspects between the cooker and the Avova android app, All-in-all a very poor product. Needless to say, It was returned.I replaced it with a VPCOK cooker at about a third of the price of the Anova, which by contrast, is well made and has user friendly controls. It Works well, the controls are responsive and easy to use.I am a believer in - buy cheap- buy twice. This was a total reverse.

Amazing pruduct

it was as described

Amazing

The media could not be loaded. I received the item yesterday. I had a couple of friends at home I invited for dinner to try the new thing. I unboxed everything and followed the instructions and attached the device to a pot of water. When I hit play the device started making a loud and continuous beep. I tried to connect the app, it said the water was too low. The water was actually between min and max. I tried to follow troubleshooting, but still didn't work. Apparently this is a common issue with this device. I'm really frustrated as my friends and I created a lot of expectation on that. I'm sending this tomorrow morning for a refund.

Ho acquistato questo prodotto per provare la cottura sottovuoto, e devo dire che mi sono trovato molto bene! L'accessorio sembra molto robusto e ben realizzato, ed è facilissimo da usare! Basta assicurarlo ad una pentola dalle giuste dimensioni, riempire la pentola di acqua ed impostare temperatura e tempo di cottura. In poco tempo l'acqua viene portata a temperatura e successivamente parte il timer per la cottura. La temperatura dell'acqua, misurata anche con un termometro, è effettivamente precisa e costante. Ovviamente il risultato finale dipende dalle proprie capacità: all'interno del libretto delle istruzioni del prodotto sono infatti indicati alcuni consigli di cottura per varie tipologie di alimenti (che ho ritenuto molto utili), ma non si tratta di una scienza esatta, ogni taglio di carne o pesce ha infatti diverse temperature e tempi di cottura. Inoltre la cottura sottovuoto è normalmente molto più lunga di una cottura normale, per cui bisogna armarsi della giusta pazienza. Online comunque si trovano molte ricette e suggerimenti utili.

Fue un regalo de Reyes y acertaron !!!Mi marido está feliz con su juguete y nosotros encantados de que practique.Lo ha usado poco pero funciona bien y lo de la app está genial.

très facile d'utilisation, rapide pour chauffer l'eau et très précis en température... déjà de très bonnes recettes réalisées

Ich bin begeistert!Ich hatte zuvor einen Wancle, der auch seinen Dienst tut.ABER ...1. der Anova ist besser verarbeitet und kinderleicht zu bedienen. Nichts hakt, klemmt oder reagiert erst beim 2. antippen2. Die Anleitung ist gut erklärt, besonders für SousVide Neulinge gibt es viele Zusatzinfos3. die WiFi-Funktion ist super. Kinderleicht mit dem heimischen Wlan verbunden, kann man von überall auf Temperatur und Dauer zugreifen und Änderungen vornehmen. Besonders praktisch bei Garzeiten über 20 Std.4. Die App hat viele Rezepte, Tipps und Tricks. Besonders für Neulinge ein erleichternder Einstieg. Ebenso kann man auch seine eigenen Rezepte dazufügen und verwalten.5. die Befestigung mit der Schraubklemme hatte mich zunächst abgeschreckt. Diese Befestigungsart hat sich jetzt aber als großer Vorteil herausstellt. Den Wancle konnte ich nicht an allen Töpfen/Behältern befestigen, den Anova schon.6. Die Kabelführung ist mE beim Anova besser durchdacht und sicherer. Musste beim Wancle immer das Kabel um den Behälter herumgeführt werden, ist der Anova so am Gerät befestigt, das man freie Sicht auf das Display hat und das Kabel wird einfach nach hinten weggeführt wird, ohne mit dem Behälter in Kontakt zu kommen.7. Die Temperatur wird exakter gehalten. Beim Wancle hatte ich größere Abweichungen.8. Man stellt den Anova auf die Zeit und die Temperatur ein, die man verwenden möchte und startet. Dann erwärmt er das Wasser und meldet sich, wenn die gewünschte Temperatur erreicht ist. Erst dann startet er den zuvor eingestellten Timer. Der Wancle bietet dies nicht.Ich bin also restlos begeistert und kann diesen Stick unbedingt weiterempfehlen! :-)2 kleine negative Punkte kann man anmerken, die mich persönlich aber nicht stören:1. Es ist alles auf englisch2. Er ist ein kleines bisschen lauter als der Wancle

Its is very good.
