Anova Sous Vide Wifi 2014
6 reviews
Absolutely Poor Quality – I have had my Precision Cooker replaced twice under warranty. Well done Anova! But my third one has now failed for the same cause. The thermostat fails to control the temperature. I definately do not consider this a quality product. I have now ordered one of a different brand. Show details
Mother Day present - DOA? – After reviewing for quite some time, I finally pulled the trigger and ordered the Precision Cooker Original (wifi) at Anova online store as the Mother Day gift to my mum. After it arrived, I opened the box. I followed the instruction and filled the water mid way between min and max, turned it on, set the temp and hit the Start button. Long… Read more
non-stop beep. Switched it off, wait for 10mins and restart it again. Same symptoms - Long non-stop beep when the start button is pressed.
I did some more googling notice that this long non-stop beep sounds is quite a common issues for new arrival Anova Wifi.
I felt some bad for giving my mum a gift that is not working.
Can someone please help? Thanks
Doesn't last more than a year – I had two of those devices - one lasted 7 months, second lasted 9 months. The first one had two problems: it was shaking above 80 degrees C, and temperature display was jumping chaotically above and below set temperature. I managed to return it since it was under 1 year warranty. The second one showed 0 degrees C regardless of the temperature of… Read more
water and didn't change when it is heating up. I didn't manage to return the second one, because apparently Anova doesn't refund the replacement devices (the devices that have been provided as a replacement for faulty equipment under warranty). When I spend US $130 plus US $60 shipping I expect the equipment to last at least a couple of years, but in both cases it was only a few months. By the way I used it only twice a month. If this was an Australian company you most likely would be able to get your money back, since Australian consumer law takes into consideration what a reasonable expected lifetime of such product. The bottom line is that there are many new, much cheaper and more reliable Sous-Vide cookers out there with longer warranty periods, so considering low lifetime of Anova, and difficulty returning it, I wouldn't see any reason to buy Anova Precision Cooker. I could only provide the image of 0 degrees display issue. Unfortunately I am unable to provide a video of shaking over 80 degrees C and jumping temperature of the first device because I am unable to upload a video from my laptop (this page only allows to attach links)
Sous Vide Everything! – I love this machine! Simply put this is the best cooking appliance in my kitchen. I have never owned a Sous Vide before so I can't say that this is the best one you could get but I looked at a bunch and I don't think I would buy another one given the option. Pros: - Small and easy to put away (some of these things can be huge) - Heats water… Read more
quickly and circulates well - Wifi/Internet enabled lets me set it up in the morning and activate it from work! - You can cook nearly anything with it (if you have the time) - Any kind of meat, mashed potatoes, eggs (best poached eggs you can make), jams, cheese, pickles... - Versatility: You can attach this to any size vessel depending on your needs - Aesthetics: It looks cool and is easy to read and see from a distance - The App: Good functionality with plenty of recipes and options to create your own and store them - The submersible stainless steal shield is removable for cleaning
Cons: - I have had a few trouble with the app timer not starting after reaching temperature but doesn't affect function
Get one, and splash out for the wifi model, you won't be disappointed
UPDATE: Anova as a company has provided outstanding customer support. My Anova Sous Vide motor died about 8 months ago (within the 2yr warranty period). I sent them an explanation of the problem and pictures and they rapidly got back to me and shipped me a brand new Sous Vide. No hassles, No questions, no costs.
I have now had an Anova Sous Vide for about 2.5yrs, it stays on my countertop most of the time and I have bought 3 more for friends and family, this is how good I think this product is.
Great Results – I have had my Anova Sous Vide for over 4 weeks and have cooked, steak,pork and fish. The results have been very satisfactory. Steak , Fish (salmon) and pork Chops took about 1-2 hours. I did a pork belly for 10 hours. For each attempt, the meat was very tender. All meats were 'seared' on a hot stove top cast iron frypan to achieve a crust. I… Read more
purchased a $5, 15 litre plastic storage container from Reject Shop and use this for my water bath. I have not used the wifi or bluetooth yet as I just set the temperature and time on the unit itself.
Makes my cheese making a breeze – I just love this versitlie cooking aid. My only gripe is the cord needs to to be half a metre longer. Otherwise perfect for the tender meats leaving the presentation of the food colourful. I use it to make my life easy when making cheese. I can walk away from the pot know the temperature will be precise Show details
