Nomiku Cons:

Rather bulky and heavy

Its sous vide cooking, a time-consuming and demanding procedure, requires devoted planning such as setting up the ice bath, getting the appliance ready, looking after Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity and working along with its app to start cooking at the correct time.

App not very resourceful with regards to sous-vide guides and tips.

On the expensive side.

Rebecca Morris says- “I love the Anova water heater. It is easy to use, easy to clean and has a very precise temp control”.

Margaret Pierce says- “The free phone app is great and gets you started. But once you’ve cooked a few meals you really don’t need to use the app”.

 

Anova Cons:

• Not very durable as its housing is made of plastic.
• Not for users who cannot devote time as per the sous vide cooking procedure that demands considerable planning involving setting up the ice bath, readying the appliance, ensuring it is connected to Bluetooth and WiFi and monitor its app to begin cooking at the right time.
• Slow procedure.
• App not very resourceful as it needs to be upgraded.

Cristina Pittman writes in her review – “Something went wrong with the thermostat and it no longer was able to regulate a correct temperature”.

Naomi Morrison complains – “Anova changed the app to require a login just to cook a meal. They are apparently more interested in mining data than pleasing their customers. I bought the Bluetooth version so I could monitor it, but now the app requires a login, and I object to logging in just to monitor this expensive device. I can’t recommend it any more”.

Patti Floyd mentions in her review – “Have made a few steaks, some pots de creme, and cheesecake in a jar, all using the Joule app recipes. All worked out wonderfully”.

Vanessa Waters says in her review – “Have used it twice with very good results. However now I can’t get the app to start the device, says it lost power and the dot turns orange. Have tried all of the troubleshooting ideas but with no success. I have even tried using three different phones”.

Courtney Day writes in her review – “Worked great for a while, then wouldn’t stay connected to Bluetooth and then started having issues maintaining temperature”.
