Get a base model without connectivity – Anova Culinary Review

I have never been able to connect to WiFi. I was able to connect to Bluetooth, but only the first time. After that, my devices (I’ve tried with my phone and iPad) just keep searching but can never connect. If I delete the app and reinstall it, then it seems to connect about half the time, but only that one time. After that, I have to delete and reinstall the app if I want to use it again. And using the Sous vide without the app is not intuitive at all; for example, in order to set the timer, you have to first change the temperature unit from F to C. It makes no sense. At this point, I’ve just turned the timer way up and, to use it, I just set it to the temp that I want and then keep time using the timer on my phone or microwave. Do not buy an Anova Sous Vide that uses an app; just get a regular dumb Sous vide that was made to be used without any smart devices.
