Anyone have this brand? Amazon reviews are good $87 new. They also have Joule for $209 but dont wanna spend that for just the name. Suggestion are welcome. TIA

I have an Anova and love it. I use it at least once a month if not more.

Also have it. Think it's likely the most common brand.

What about the Anova vacuum sealer you can get paired with it?

That's the small one that's cheaper. But based on the reviews it should function perfectly fine for a home kitchen.

quote:

The lower wattage is directly related to the smaller water bath max capacity. The nano supports a max of 5 gallons vs 8 gallons on the 900w version. This would be a function of both ability to circulate and ability to maintain heat in a larger bath without overusing the heating element.


If you need more than a 5 gallon water bath you might as well buy multiple circulators.

I have a food saver sealer, so no need for that.

It's a steal at $87. Unless my memory is way off, I want to say I spent like $130 on mine a couple years back for the bluetooth version. No complaints. It may take a few more minutes to warm up the bath than some of the higher-powered, higher-priced options, but it's a minor inconvenience, at worst.

I have the nano and like it. Only thing missing is wifi connectivity but even that is a marginal negative.

I have an Anova that is a few years old. Still kicking. Solid product. Keeps very even temps.

The Joule is supposed to be very nice, but I don’t care about Bluetooth for my sous vide. The Joule fits in more sizes of pots, but my Anova clamps in the one of mine I use for sous vide, so I’m good.

If I was starting new, I might go Joule because I tend to spend whatever on the best product of my newest interest or hobby. But I can’t really imagine the Joule is any significantly better than the Anova.

I got an anova 4 years ago when best buy had a sale for like $99. It's the Bluetooth one and it works great.

Got mine some 4(?) years ago when the good folks on this board first made me aware of sous vide & Anova. Bluetooth model, which is a feature I've never used. Clearly it's the high-watt version, as I could see the lights flicker in my old Southdowns house when it would run.

Would buy it again in a heartbeat.

I've had one a couple of years. I use it quite frequently. I have a Food Saver, but honestly just use ziplock 90% of the time.

I just got one as well. Looking forward to using it this weekend.

What’s a great protein to cook for a first timer?
