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.
The app can be used for temperature setup and live temperature checking without running the cook through the phone.
The device can be used as a simple entry into sous vide because manual temperature and time control are possible.
The unit can deliver consistent steak results when paired with a proper sear after the bath.
The cooker can hold a set water temperature without overshooting, which helps produce evenly cooked roasts.
The device relies on app connectivity for full control, and connectivity issues can prevent use.
The lack of physical controls can make the cooker unusable if Anova stops supporting the app.
The app experience can be unreliable during a cook because it may struggle to refresh after leaving and returning.
The mini still needs a tall, straight-sided vessel for the clamp to mount properly, which limits pot compatibility.

"The results of variance analysis and the Duncan multiple-range test results on BPA migration levels in the samples are also given in Table 4. As seen in the table, cooking temperature, cooking level, and the interaction of cooking temperature and cooking level had no significant effect (p > 0.05) on BPA migration."

I like these for chicken and pork chops though. 2 things that are a little easier to dry out
