"I’ve been using the Anova Culinary Sous Vide Precision Cooker Nano 2.0 for a few months now, and overall, it’s a great value for the price. The build quality is impressive—feels sturdy and well-made, especially considering how compact it is. For anyone looking to dip their toes into sous vide cooking without breaking the bank, this is a solid entry point.Where this device really shines is in low-temp precision. It holds temperature within ±0.1°F, which is perfect for cooking steaks medium-rare or pork around the 140°F range. The results are consistently tender and juicy, and it’s easy to set up and use.That said, there are a few drawbacks. The app integration feels underdeveloped, and Bluetooth connectivity can be spotty at times. I’ve had trouble maintaining a stable connection, which makes remote monitoring a bit unreliable. Also, it struggles with higher-temp cooks—corn on the cob and egg bites didn’t turn out quite right, likely due to slower heat-up times and limited power.If your main goal is precision cooking at lower temps, this device delivers. Just don’t expect seamless tech features or high-temp versatility. Still, for the price, it’s hard to beat, and mine has been going strong for almost 7 years now."

So, we bought this one in 2019; and then a Greater Goods brand one a year later. We've used both of them maybe a few dozens times since? The Greater Goods brand was trash and broke down within 2 years, and arguably less usage than this one. However, the Anova still works great! We mostly use it for steaks. I don't really care about the Bluetooth feature, so I don't have much of an opinion on that aspect in general. I would recommend getting a sous vide container and a universal silicon lid to help with heat control. The temp has always been pretty accurate. And for the price, you really can't beat it! Bravo to Aveno. Shame on you Greater Goods, especially when you factor in that theirs is over a 100 bucks.allen treschler

This simple to use, highly reliable, and extremely effective kitchen tool is one everyone needs to have in their arsonal. This brand (Annova Precision Nano) does not have the remote app or other whistles and bells but being simple and reliable it makes an excellent starter sous vide cooker. I have 2 of these and I, personlly, don't need more features but they exist so look LOL.This sous vide cooker was a gift I gave a friend to introduce him to the world of Sous Vide. I also gave him a bag of zip lock bags large enough to sous vide a roast in. He is thrilled with what amazing results gets with sous vide and he is very thankful for the knowledge and especially the wonderful food. YUM.grant prahl

We bought this sous vide as an economical way to try adding sous vide to our meal plans. It was a great price and functions as expected. You do have to pay for the app but it's optional.It was easy to clamp to our pot and get going. Instructions are easy to follow and clear to understand. It is a bit loud but I don't mind because it helps me to keep tabs on it. Can be used anywhere you have a large pot of water and an outlet.Took about 25 minutes to achieve temperature (165) in tap cold water and maintained or adjusted temp well.Hopefully it holds up as it worked well first time out the gate.suzanna lynn

we use this so much that I can’t imagine my life without it!It’s super easy to use, you just set it and walk away really. The temperature accuracy is great, and it has a built-in timer.We love using this to get food kicked to the right temperature so that all the moisture stays in. Then, you just take your steak or whatever meat you’re cooking, and see the outside and it has a beautiful crisp.Perfectly cooked every time!t jacobs

I got my machine on Tuesday and cooked chicken breast on Wednesday. Not just any chicken breast - the most succulent, tender chicken breast I've ever cooked. In fact, I hate chicken breast because it comes out so dry. No more!!! Perfect for batch cooking, meal prep, etc. I don't have anything special to cook my food in - I just used a large pot. I do have a vacuum sealer, which I used for the first time :-). Operation is pretty intuitive, as evidenced by the fact I didn't read the directions at all :-). The water took about 17 minutes to heat up, then I set the timer for 2 hours. I got distracted and left it cooking closer to 3 hours, with no ill effect. Highly recommended!What Customers Talk About
