Anova CulinarySous Vide Precision Cooker Nano 3.0, 800 watts

Connects easily to smartphone APP. Just plain works. Temps are spot-on & stable in a 12 qt tub.The APP is pretty basic for setting & monitoring (time, temp) & control, & has a large collection of recipes.Have used for various fish (haddock, salmon, tuna), for chicken thighs & breasts, & for ribeye, NY strip, tri-tip, & bison steak, Beef Bourguignon, pork chops, lamb chops, carrots, cabbage wedges so far - all turned out superb. re comments that the APP frequently disconnects, no big - the unit continues to operate at the set temperature, & to reconnect, merely close the APP & reopen it.

Consistant results. I had a several issues with my Mini and found out that one of my kitchen outlets was not functioning properly. I contacted Customer service agent who helped me resolve the issue. Customer service walked me through a factory reset, and told me how to descale or clean my device (vinegar & water). It's worked perfectly every since.

This is a genuine piece of garbage. You have to use app to set and maintain temp and timer. App spontaneously disconnects without warning or alarm that it has disconnected, so unless you constantly monitor the app, it will shut off stopping the heating and circulation of the water bath without notification of a problem and you are left wondering how long your food was actually kept at the designated temp. Additionally, the set temp varies up and down by SEVERAL degrees when it is actually running. And, best of all, this was a gift, so by the time it was opened and used the return window had closed, by 9 days! Horrible, horrible, horrible. DO NOT BUY!!!!!!!! (BTW, I was forced to give this 1 star in order to submit the review - I would have preferred zero.)

So easy to use! I purchased this for my elderly mom and was able to teach her how to use it easily! I love that it works with or without connecting to a phone. My mom doesn’t know how to use apps but I was able to teach her how to use the app. It alerts her when the water is at the set temperature so she doesn’t go up and down stairs checking.

This is the second Anova I have owned. The first one I bought was the larger more powerful unit but being just two of us I bought a smaller water batch and this is amazing. Temp accuracy is spot on, tested with a thermometer. I did try to heat up the large container I have that fits enough food for 4-6 and it took FOREVER to heat up. If you are cooking for two this is great and the container doesn’t waste as much water.

I wanted to try cooking steak sous vide and this product worked flawlessly. All I had to do was plug it in, fill the container with water and press the play button.I used it for a couple of new york strip steaks from Costco and set it for 130 deg. 2.5 hiurs later I seared the steaks and they were great.It comes with an app that lets you control it remotely as well but I would rarely use that as it is easy to just set it manually.

Has worked well for every time I’ve used it. App is simplistic but does the job.

It can take a while to cook a roast, but it comes out at the proper temperature inside. I've used this equally well on both beef and pork roasts. I seal the marinated roasts in vacuum bags and place them in the tank. When cooking is done, I sear the meat to finish the job.
