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.

This item has arrived with a three pin European plug that I have never seen before and don’t have an adapter for. Amazon have supplied this to a UK customer knowing that it won’t fit any UK sockets.

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.

Others have had connection problems but another reviewer thankfully suggested turning bluetooth off before trying. I'm not sure if they saved me, but from the time the package arrived I was cooking in less than five minutes.I can't yet speak to longevity but others have been pleased, and this is why I went with the Pro model, which ANOVA boasts is overdesigned. It still lacks an integrated $300 UPS for power interruptions but of course I'm being facetious... power outs can still ruin a cook. This model requires a hefty UPS for its wattage.This was a replacement for a cheaper sous vide wand we've been enjoying for several years, but died mid-cook, which is a worst case scenario even worse than power outs. Fortunately delivery was overnight, so I just refrigerated the meat mid-cook until delivery. That's another reason I went with the Pro.Already experienced, I found the app intuitive enough so there was no learning curve. The recipes are consistent with my own experience and the app let's you keep a record if you buy into a $10/year subscription. It'swell worththe nominalprice.The Pro appears to be solid and the clamp is much better than my old clipped wand, which broke apart several months ago requiring an ill-fitting aftermarket clip.Speaking of power interruption, there's no on-board solution since SV machines are programmed for manual reset after one to prevent food poisoning on long cooks. Sounds nanny-ish but if they think so, but even a water level drop while inspecting a bag requires a refresh, so always mark your end-time or set an appointment so you won't get confused on a long cook. I thought this upper end model might ease this inconvenience but it's unavoidable.

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

The unit itself is fabulous...solid, dependable, precise, and a major game-changer. But getting it to connect to wifi sucks in a big way. I spent hours and hours and hours trying to get it to work. To no avail. Every day I'd read through internet posts, hoping I'd find an answer when the product instructions failed. Everyone seemed to have the same issue. Can't connect to wifi. So for a while I continued to use the Anova manually. Until one day I found the answer on a SousVide sub Reddit post. And this is what worked. The solution follows, in quotes..."On your phone wifi settings - DESELECT "Join Wifi Automatically" and then DISCONNECT from your home wifi before starting setup. Now when it says its going to use the code to connect with a temporary wife Network "Anova 4502" or whatever, it will actually connect to this network! Only turn your actual wifi back on when it it COMPLETELY setup."So there you go. Don't go changing your dual band wifi router, and don't reinstall the app, or anything else. Try this first. And, I might add...shame on Anova/Electrolux for not publishing this info and putting me and all their other customers through all this supreme waste of time. This solution took me under a minute to have my cooker running with the app and connected to wifi.
