Important to note that it's app only. There are no controls on the device other than a power button.
You do not need to pay subscription to use it unless you want wifi capability. It is free to use via the app/Bluetooth.
Overall it's pretty good but during a cook the app can struggle to refresh if you leave and come back to it so what I do is close out the app entirely and reopen and it has consistently connected after that. Not too bad of an issue but worth noting
these are great, easiest example is for meat- you're not boiling them, you're holding them at specific temps so that the proteins behave certain ways. e.g. 144°F chicken breast is more or less rare and safe to eat because it's been pasteurized, but the meat won't get stringy or tough because that's a side affect of being exposed to high heat.
great stuff- lots of kenji articles on serious eats about it. buying a couple of these to hand out as gifts, lol- annoying to have to use app to set it, but it's 20$ a pop which is less than aldi's cheapo SVs when they have them randomly.
Community Reviews
This compact Anova Precision Cooker Mini is mainly praised as an easy entry into sous vide, with precise temperature control and solid results for steak, roast, lamb, eggs, and even reheating steak. The free app and Bluetooth control work without a subscription for basic use, and the $20 price with free shipping makes it feel like a strong starter deal. The main drawbacks are the app dependence, lack of physical controls, and the separate WiFi or full app subscription for extra features. It also needs a tall straight sided pot or container, so the mini name is a little misleading.

It can hold precise temperatures for edge-to-edge doneness, such as 140°F for medium roast or 132°F for medium-rare steak, then you sear the outside. It's also used for chuck roast, lamb, chicken, pork chops, and reheating steak.
No subscription is required for basic cooking. The app can be used for free over Bluetooth to set temperature and time, while the paid plan is tied to Wi‑Fi/full app features such as scheduling and remote use.
The unit has only a power button, so temperature and timer are set in the app. Basic operation still works without paying, but if the app stops being supported later, the cooker could become unusable.
Despite being called a mini, it still needs a tall vessel with about a 6-inch straight wall for the clamp to attach properly. A taller pot or an 8-12 qt container works better than a short 3-qt stock pot.

not having physical control stinks when there's a good chance of planned obsolescence/waste.

I'm hoping this one will be better. I ordered it, but the planned destruction of usability without a physical interface annoys me.
It will join the world of net connected zero software support.
I'm hoping that someone just makes a raspberry pi emulator so that Bluetooth and apks can be loaded. Between the companies going under and android having software phases out due to "incompatibility"
I only bought this one for travel.
They do a good job because a lot of other cooking options cause your flavors to get watered down or cooked off.
