Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Pro, 1200 Watts, Black and Silver

This item is actually really good quality. Solid and looks fantastic with fantastic reviews BUT, i was unable to use it as the plug it came with is a USA plug and, the item is made for USA 120V and not UK 240V hence the 1 star rating. This means that you have to also purchase a separate transformer which i was not prepared to do, and so the item was returned (currently awaiting the refund which Amazon tell me is being processed). I was very disappointed as i did a lot of research on sous vide cookers and this was highly rated! The issue i have is that Amazon UK is advertising this and do not make it clear enough that it will not work in the UK. I am thinking why even advertise this in the UK if it is not made for the UK market - seems silly to me.

Doesn’t work in UK. Came with wrong plug. Short circuited and died upon first use

Perfeito e de grande qualidade.

Migrated from a smaller unit to the Pro and it runs more quietly and creates more water flow than the lesser model. WiFi make this an even better tool as any warnings or notifications are sent to your phone for attention if necessary.

Buena precisión y fácil de usar. Un gran gadget de cocina.

This is a powerful and effective Sous Vide circulator. It’s very easy to take apart to clean, although reassembling had one piece stick but after 2 tries went smooth. It’s sturdy and works well. I purchased it at 50% off so it’s a great value. I used to have the Joule and I wanted a unit with the controls on the unit and the app as well. This one is great. It was easy to connect to WiFi and the app - just go slow and follow instructions. Be sure you are connecting to a 2.4 WiFi. It feels like it will last, but only time will tell. It’s larger than the Joule (diameter) and heavier, but when turned on it seems like the swirl of water if increased which means it will heat faster and larger amounts of water. In the little testing I have done (I cook daily and have had it a few days), it works great. The app has its pluses and minuses. The plus is that the majority of its temps and times are accurate. Be sure to adjust for thickness (the app walks you through that). The cons include you must subscribe a small yearly fee to use. Also - it doesn’t show different cook times for frozen vs fresh food (the Joule does and I use regularly). Finally it doesn’t have a full variety of foods like the Joule had (which was free). So there are only 5 to 7 seafoods in the guide, while the Joule has well over a dozen. Still good as it incorporates recipes from Chefs and solid web sites as well as community recipes. I am happy so far. I will update the review over time with anything else I learned.

Sturdy build, precise temperature, you can run it 24/7 without worry. Update: 12 Feb. 2023 Still going strong even using several time per week. Though, it has developed a bit of residue on the heater but it doesn't affect its performance.
