Anova Precision Cooker 2.0 [AN500-UK00], Sous Vide, WiFi, 100 Watts, Type G Plug included for UK use, Bluetooth, Anova App Included - Black and Silver

I have a couple of circulators but this unit does seem a little better build quality. It is quiet compared to the others but you can hear any motor run but this unit does not sound intrusive.So far it as performed well and it connected to WiFi on a Mesh system OK but the app does need some attention as it's a little buggy but it is nice to be able to keep an eye on things when away from home.The unit does not shut down after the set cook time is reached so food will stay at the set temperature until you turn it off.I am happy with it so far and it does have a two-year warranty and a good customer forum.

Nice and easy to use, free from cooking now! Instruction is clear and cook the most tender food in the world

There’s clearly a massive quality issue with the current stock - see pic showing the broken top before it was even removed from the box. So instead of sharing fun and yummy sous-vide experiences this Christmas, I've purchased gift-giving embarrassment and a returns admin task to get sorted during my holiday. Thought Anova would have sorted it based on all the reviews showing this issue, so I took a risk and bought one, but no, and no reply within 48 hours after contacting them, so I’ll have to return and go to another brand. I strongly recommend not taking a risk and not buying one of these. Anova are not the brand they used to be.UPDATE: amazon have been amazing trying to help and sent out a replacement anyway. It too is broken in the same way, so is being returned. I suggest not buying until reviews are consistently good again (make sure to sort by most recent) as its not possible to get a functioning one at the moment it seems (they are great when they work!)ANOTHER UPDATE: finally heard back from anova - it's been weeks and christmas gifting is well past; no apology about providing multiple broken products or human recognition of ruined christmas gift. Only suggestion they made is to get amazon to send yet another one. I decided it's not worth the risk to find It's also broken (not amazon's fault anova's products are literally rubbish; amazon have been as helpful as they could be in the circumstances). Seems Anova are now a low quality brand with awful customer service - I'd advise not to buy.

Update:Anova were very helpful and replaced the device very fast, even sending it quickly using DHL express.The new device works fine, and I even used it to clean up the old one and maybe get it back to life.I'm raising the review to 4 stars based on support and delivery, and the hope that the new one will be more reliable.I bought the device less than a 6 months ago, since then I've made many steaks and roasts, until one fine day I get the lower water level error. No, the water level was high enough.. almost to the top level. I'm using clean filtered water for the bath, so no calcification exists. since then it has been a touch and go, vineager baths helped a couple of time, but the device is simply unreliable.The first time is gave the error simply in the middle of a 12 hour session, forcing me to finish it off in the oven.If you get a good one, working, all in oder, and reliable- good for you.I'll try and get it repaired or replaced, but since I'm not in the UK now, we'll see how amazon works with this.

The ease of use is incredible. Can’t get the app to work sadly so no wifi connectivity - but the cooking control you have with this is amazing. We have cooked beef for 24 hours and never had beef like it. Incredible. Steaks will never be the same again and chicken is simply the best! Highly recommend.It’s lovely knowing you’ve got that temperature control spot on!

Loaned my old one to the butcher... got sick of waiting for it to come back, so I bought a new one. Best gadget in my kitchen after the Kamado Joe grill and the Ooni pizza oven.For the best ever fillet steak sous-vide it for 1-2hrs at 53C and then quickly sear in the Ooni for 1-2mins at 450-500C till it gets a decent crust. If you don't have an Ooni or super hot BBQ then searing in butter also works for a good crust.

Very effective in raising water temperature. I use kettle water to get to cooking temperature faster, but the machine rapidly heats the remaining degrees.There is a quite audible whirring of the motor/propeller as it stirs the water. Very clear beep to signal start/completion. The app seems superfluous to me. Easy to attach, dismantle and rinse clean.

Worked for approx 6 times, then broke down. Garbage.
