I might get this for travel since I have an upcoming trip where I'll be staying at an airbnb type place with a kitchen (probably I would just use it with ziplock bags and a normal pot).
But it's definitely possible that anova could randomly discontinue support for it
If you don't need it to be light/compact you're probably better off just getting any random one with physical controls.
I actually picked up 3 of these the last time it was $20. I think that was a little over a month ago.
Is this a glorified water boiler? Why would I want this over just turning on the stove?
I don't care enough to google this so feel free not to respond.

There are a ton of uses of a sous vide, and there are even cookbooks. Some people even do entire roasts in one. To each their own but just doing a perfect steak every time is good enough for me. My BBQ hardly gets any use now!
I have the Nano 3.0 (with controls) but bought 2 of these around Christmastime for gifts and both people LOVE them!
I avoid this company like the plague now even though I currently own an Anova oven.
Wow really? That sounds like a really good use case. I've been trying the reverse searing method of oven at 250 until inside of steak is about 165 and then searing. Mixed results.

Appreciate the detailed response. Sounds like a much better alternative to reverse searing (low temp in oven with a meat thermometer, and then quick sear both sides.)
The only issue is my wife has been going nuts about health stuff and would not want to boil food in plastic. Already tossed out my awesome Ovo non-stick pans and anything teflon coated. Won't even let me put plastics in dishwasher.
More generally, aside from cooking meat to a very specific level of doneness, you can also just use it more similarly to a slow cooker if you want to I guess, although I normally use a pressure cooker in those situations.
It is probably the single most "set it and forget it" type cooking method though and perhaps even more than a slow cooker it's something you can safely leave running while you're out which can be quite convenient.
if you're concerned about microplastics it might not be ideal
