Review on πŸ”₯ Anova Culinary AN500-US00 Sous Vide Precision Cooker (WiFi), 1000 Watts, Anova App Included - Black and Silver by Kelly Kaliyan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Haven't figured out WiFi yet

Every aspect of this product is excellent except for the WiFi function. Easy to use, heats water quickly, keeps the temperature perfect. WiFi isn't really a big deal to me, but if you advertise it as a feature, it should work. I've tried connecting my iPhone multiple times, reinstalled the app a couple of times following the instructions on the Anova website, I've made sure the device is in close (very close) proximity to the wifi hotspot I have checked that the hotspot is working properly, frequency etc. I got to the point where it asked for a code generated by the Anova device and it kept asking me to log in again. Frustrated and expecting the same result I went through the process of connecting to my Android tablet, it failed at first but when I moved the Anova within ten feet of the Wi-Fi hotspot it connected and all was well . The previous generation of this product is known to have issues with Wi-Fi. Presumably this is fixed in the current version, apparently not much for iPhone devices. Also, you need to be very close to the access point for the connection to work.

Pros
  • Lit
Cons
  • I'll write back later
