Sous Vide Precision Cooker Mini, 850 Watts, Black and Orange, App Enabled, 2024 Model

I got the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Mini, 850 Watts, 2024 Model and it has completely changed the way I make L. reuteri yogurt and other recipes at home. The setup is simple and the app makes it easy to control the temperature precisely. For my yogurt, maintaining a steady temperature is key and this device does it perfectly. I’ve been able to get consistent, creamy results every time without worrying about hot spots or fluctuations. It heats up quickly and holds temperature very accurately. I’ve also used it for eggs, meat, and vegetables, and everything cooks evenly and stays juicy. The mini size is nice for my kitchen since it doesn’t take up much space, but it’s still powerful enough to handle several jars of yogurt at once. Cleaning is easy too. The stainless steel part detaches and can be wiped down quickly, and the rest of the unit doesn’t get messy. If you want precise temperature control for yogurt, sous vide cooking, or experimenting with recipes, this mini cooker works exactly as advertised and makes the process simple and reliable.

Works as Advertised

Basically fails at every important / crucial features in a sous vide machine No Alerts - not with app nor the machine. Basically need to set own timer if plan to use it. Temperature fluctuation - since the internal thermometer is so slow, the temperature goes up and down a few degrees the entire time Inaccurate internal thermometer - when tested with 2 other digital thermometers, temperature was off by 4 degrees. - tested also another sous vide machine in the same water bath heating to 167F (Inkbird 200, which I recommend) and the Anova mini's app or thermometer was so delayed that it only showed 167 on the app a full minutes after it was hit and confirmed by the Inkbird. It was about 5 degrees behind the whole time heating up. Completely failed when doing low temperature test - it never stopped raising the temperature after hitting the desired temp. The timer just started counting down the moment the temp was hit Sound - quiet if never used another sous vide machine before but compared to others, quite loud. And higher pitched than comfortable. No physical buttons except pairing mode App only gets the time and temperature Bad customer service (emailed Anova with detailed explanation of problems and my troubleshooting and got 2 replies just telling me to try to reinstall the app and to try the app on another phone) I recommend Inkbird 200w if looking for a machine that has physical buttons, app that is useful, and super quiet and under $75 Thank you Amazon for great customer service (unlike Anova) and allowing a return

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.

I purchased this for my husband because I accidentally broke his last one. I wasn't sure since this was a great price and it had an App option (I will flip a table if I have to pay for another dang subscription). However, he has now used it about 2-3 times and he LOVES it! Says it cooks wonderfully. App works well and doesn't require a monthly fee

Very precise and easy to use. Heats up the water quickly and holds the temp real good. No issue connecting to phone and app.

An absolute steal for $20. Probably still a steal at $40. At that price point, I was expecting some kind of functional compromise, and yet: Brought my largest metal pot of water to temperature in 30m and kept it there. That's all I really needed it to do. Sous vide revolutionizes slow-cooking meats, I can't imagine making a brisket or duck breast without this anymore. It's fantastic that Anova is pricing this in a way that puts delicious, healthy, low effort, high reliability cooking into everyone's reach. I thought I would be annoyed by the lack of a display and necessity of yet another app, but the app is well done (see what I did there?) and ultimately I would rather check my phone than walk into my kitchen anyway. I wish it came with a safe, sanitary storage case, but I can survive without that.

I’ve always had trouble getting seals just right but this has changed my life. Perfect steak every time. Fits easily in a pot, it’s very quiet, and I verified the temp with another high quality thermometer and it’s spot on.

Easy to use

Le produit est bien mais n’est pas en 220 V mais en 110 V et 800 watt . Heureusement que j’avais un transformateur disponible !

DO NOT BUY FOR EU COUNTRIES!! So I bought this from Amazon.de thinking I would get a sous vide that works within Germany and EU standard voltage. But this is a US product! Not only does it not work less than a month after purchase but it also burnt my wall plug. I got an electrician and he confirmed that this product should not be used within EU standard voltage and it indeed was the cause for my burnt plug system.

Parfait

Works great, have gifted 2 others as wedding gift and birthday gift.
