Great for sous vide, if you're ever in doubt about the temperature sensor of your sous vide unit. I've had times where my instant thermometer showed a 4°F difference in water temperature. This probe can go inside the meat in the plastic bag for continuous real time monitoring.

IMHO this is not a great use case for sous vide. A 4F difference is not a meaningful difference for most sous vide applications and with sous vide overcooking is not really a concern as it is for traditional oven cooking.

This is really great for meats where you don't want to constantly open the oven door to check temps with an instant read but need to prevent overcooking.

If you're on a budget, you can take a chance on this $13.99 model. Believe it or not, that's not even a sale price. $13.99 is the regular price. Reviews are mixed, with connectivity being the most common complaint. But as one person pointed out, a lot of people mistakenly assume that the probe connects to your phone. That's wrong. The probe actually connects to the dock and then it's the dock that connects to your phone. So if you put the dock away in a drawer, it won't work. Or work poorly.

I just ordered one. At $13.99, I couldn't resist.

No, not for regular use. As I stated, it's for "if you're ever in doubt about the temperature sensor of your sous vide unit." I have both an immersion heater and I also use the sous vide function of my pressure cooker. The latter is less reliable but great for long sessions, e.g. pork butt for 36 hours. No noise or evaporation. But its sensor is indirect so I want to know what going on directly in the meat

As for 4°F, it certainly can make a difference if you want your meat pink. Myoglobin is very sensitive to temperature and a few degrees can denature it. It also makes a difference in making yogurt, the other thing I do on both sous vide units. 4°F can make the difference between thriving and dead cultures.

Gotcha, yogurt definitely makes sense. I wish I had something like an Instant Pot with sous vide, the evaporation for long sous vide cooks is probably wasting some energy.

I lucked out. I found an open box Instant Pot Duo Crisp on eBay for only $69. It has sous vide as well an air fryer lid. It's currently about $149 new on Amazon. If you're interested, the cheapest offering for a new unit on eBay is currently $49 (and high shipping, unfortunately). There are also used ones.

If you don't need the air fryer lid, this model also has sous vide and it's only $79 new, $67 used

I'm cheap so I buy a lot of cheap meat then sous vide it to tenderness for 8-24 hrs. I was skeptical at first but $3.99/lb chuck steak sous vide at 133°F for 8+ hrs really does rival filet mignon.

You can definitely save energy by using a plastic container instead of metal. Or better yet, a Styrofoam cooler. And they sell little ping pong balls that you place over the water to prevent evaporation. But I'm cheap -- very cheap -- so I just use the Styrofoam packing peanuts that often come with packages. And being Styrofoam, it not only prevent evaporation but it also retains heat.

My wattmeter estimated that I only use about 70¢ of electricity for 24 hrs of sous vide. That's nothing compared to how much I save buying cheap cuts of meat.

Thanks for these tips! I own an Instant Pot already so I will consider the lid add on for sous vide. I'm super lazy and I just stick my Anova in the largest pot I have, which is a Lodge cast iron. I don't have a lid for that so it's just open, and I have to refill it every 12 hours due to evaporation for long cooks. I don't mind because sous vide is delicious but I feel bad about the environmental impact.
