This compact 850 watt Anova sous vide cooker is mainly appealing as a cheap way to try sous vide or add a second unit for smaller jobs. The basic app lets you set temperature and start or stop over Bluetooth, and the cooker has been used successfully for chicken, steaks, pork chops, and beef chuck. The main catch is app dependence, with Wi Fi remote start tied to a paid subscription and some concern about future support. It also heats more slowly than larger Anova models and can be too tall for some stock pots, making it a handy but limited little cooker.
Common Questions (4)
Yes. Basic operation requires the Anova app, but setting temperature and starting/stopping the cooker works without a subscription over Bluetooth. Wi‑Fi remote start is the feature tied to the paid plan.
Yes, Wi‑Fi remote start is reported to require a paid subscription, often described as about $10 per year. The basic app functions remain usable without paying, but remote control over Wi‑Fi is the paid feature.
Yes, $20 is described as an unusually low price for an Anova sous vide cooker and a good way to try sous vide without spending much. Several comments compare it favorably to earlier prices around $25 or much higher past purchases.
It can be slow to get going compared with larger Anova units. One report says it heats noticeably slower than an 800W display model, though it still reaches temperature and works fine for cooking.

We all know what's going to happen too, right?
This leaves some Chinese copycat to underprice, and take over the market.
One thing I noticed about this model is that it's really slow to get going. My other Anova is 800 watts with a display, and even that one warms up faster. This one heats water like it's on a smoke break.
Misinformation over the app associated with this product. It has no base subscription but the functionality is extremely limited. You set temp, start and stop it w/o a subscription upgrade. There is a timer but so far if you go over the time set it holds the temp you set, so may as well not be there.
Sous vide is interesting and I bought a 1st gen Annova in 2017, but I stopped using it after a few times because I never achieved results that I thought I would. With all the concern about microplastics, plastic leeching and touching food it really surprises me that people are so willing to cook their food in it.
