Got an email from Anova offering $60 off both their home sous vide cookers. I backed the original bluetooth only version on kickstarter years ago, never had an issue over around 50 cooks, including a few 72 hour ones. Never used the bluetooth though and I imagine the wifi is just as pointless so I'd take the cheaper one if I was in the market.
UPDATE: anyone on the fence, they've just knocked 19 cents off the shipping, strike now!
Has anyone tried this one: http://www.harveynorman.com.au/kitchen-appliances/small-kitc… currently $50 off with amex card promo too.
EDIT: oops, just noticed it's already been posted above :D
Guys, what's the functionality with the wifi compared to bluetooth.
Currently interested in purchasing one. But for $250 is it worth? (shipping included)
I have the bluetooth version and I really don't see the point in the connectivity. Id go the bluetooth version as I can't see the wifi being useful either.
With wifi version you never loose signal, secondly if you setup router correctly you can turn machine on remotely.
I know someone who leaves food in ice bath for a few hours before turning machine on while at work.
According to a cnet review, the bluetooth and wifi apps conflict and cause double notifications, they recommend getting the bluetooth only version until Anova smooths out the bugs.
Doubt it'll be a problem for me since I hardly ever have bluetooth on. Thanks for the warning, though.
How would it compare to this one from Big W at $60 cheaper? The eBay one is 1300 watts but I can't find a power rating for the Anova.

Anova is only 800w
Same company but even cheaper:

Not too sure about the build quality but there's no WiFi or Blutooth on the cheaper one.
The link from COTD show $179 reduced from $229 and when you select 220v AU it comes up with "Use code BLUE20 for $20 off at checkout.
Used in Australia and New Zealand"
but it doesn't work?

Thatls the US store, you can use aus25wifi coupon there but it’s cheaper to just go to the aussie store with $60 off

bought one on monday night, shipped yesterday. but geez $50 bucks for shipping and it ships from HK.
Ordered on Sunday, arrived this morning (syd from HK).
It’s a big machine, need to get a taller pot/container but the Bluetooth and wifi setup took 2 minutes and was very easy on my iphone. Disabled wifi and bt and it connected over 4g first go (must register over their server or upnp because I didnt touch the router). Not sure what all the complaints were on amazon regarding the setup.
Eager to try it out tonight!
Unless they have a separate WiFi application…
I can't see any options other than Bluetooth in my app.
Yeah there's another App, it's not as fancy though.
Anova Wi Fi
How is the sous vide going?
Worth it?
Ordered on Tue, initial estimates were for next week, DHL tracking shows ETA for tomorrow. Hpoe it arrives before the weekend so I can try it out/double-up as a Mothers Day gift… though a Kitchen Appliance is always a tricky one…
… and in my hands today. The <72 hours from order to my desk almost makes up for the $50 shipping…
Half your luck, ordered 4 days ago and still hasn't shipped.
Mine arrived and I've discovered that the wifi app doesn't play nice with iPhone 6 and 6plus. Seems to work with my ipad mini, but connection (which was supposed to be a one time process) is quite hit and miss.
Mine My wife's mother's day gift arrived. I reckon the wifi is worth the extra money as you can trigger cooks remotely. Tried chicken breast tonight using a recipe from the app. Can't believe how edible it was!
I did a chicken breast last night from frozen - 2 hours at 61 degrees and it came out so moist and tender it was amazing! Just a little bit of salt and pepper to season, I didn't even sear or use any oil. I had always opted for thigh before but think I'll be going a healthier breast option from now on!
Sigh, you're making me want to get one.
Who got their units?
Any good?
Worth the money?
Darn! Cheaper than last deal by AUD$26.
