Anova Sous Vide Wifi Precision Cooker Pro: Stainless Steel Immersion Circulator, Smartphone Controlled, 1200W, Jet Black

Failed after three years, and customer service left me disappointed I purchased my Anova Precision Cooker Pro directly from Anova in August 2023. By September 2026, it had stopped heating water. Just over three years is a disappointing lifespan for a premium appliance carrying the “Pro” name. What makes this particularly frustrating is that my older Anova cooker has been working well for more than eight years. That experience gave me confidence in the brand and was a major reason I purchased the Pro. Over the years, I’ve recommended Anova to friends, family, and coworkers, and several purchased cookers because of those recommendations. I contacted support after trying a vinegar cleaning and allowing the unit to dry for 24 hours. I then tried their additional troubleshooting suggestions, but the cooker still wouldn’t heat. During the exchange, support even asked for information about an Anova vacuum sealer, and I had to clarify that my issue was with a Precision Cooker Pro. That mistake made the response feel generic and left me questioning how carefully my concerns were being read. After I provided my purchase information, Anova told me the two-year warranty had expired and declined to replace the unit. Their proposed solution was a 10% discount toward buying another cooker. I explained my history with the brand and asked them to reconsider or offer another reasonable solution. They then increased the offer to 20%, saying that was the maximum they could provide. That discount doesn’t even cover the shipping cost. I understand that warranties have limits. My disappointment is with the product’s short lifespan and the lack of a meaningful option afterward. I specifically asked about repair or replacement, but no repair option was provided. After more than a week of correspondence, I was left with a broken cooker and an offer to spend more money on another one. The support emails described my request as “solved,” even though the problem remained. I expected better durability from the Pro and more helpful support from a company I had trusted and recommended for years. This experience has seriously damaged my confidence in Anova, and I can no longer recommend the Pro based on my experience.

It's different bit once you learn how to use the final product is perfect.

I was under the impression that this would work with WiFi. It will but it must be 2. 4. My WiFi is 5. 0. So it will not work for me like I thought it would. Other than that it’s great.

I had high expectations for the Anova Precision Cooker Pro, but unfortunately it has been a huge disappointment. During the initial Wi-Fi setup, the cooker froze completely. After restarting, the display only shows a “+” symbol and becomes totally unresponsive. The unit cannot be used, cannot reconnect to Wi-Fi, and there is no way to recover it. What’s even more frustrating is that this is already a replacement unit, and it developed the exact same problem during Wi-Fi setup. This suggests a firmware or software issue rather than an isolated hardware defect. For a premium sous vide cooker at this price point, this level of reliability is unacceptable. A failed Wi-Fi setup should never be able to permanently brick the device. Until Anova fixes this issue, I cannot recommend the Precision Cooker Pro. I purchased this model for its premium features, but instead ended up with two unusable units. Extremely disappointing.

This device is amazing. I have been with Anova since the start, with their First Gen Anova Pro, and then 2 of the first gen Nano devices. Was able to run mutiple dishes at the same time. And also cook large gatherings with mutiple anovas in a huge chillybin of water. They lasted for many years and did a lot of work. This new Pro is so much more powerful it will take over from all of them and do large meals. Loving it.

I’ve owned my sous vide for approximately 3 weeks and I’ve used it a dozen times. My wife loves it because she usually the main cook but now with this thing I’ve taken over lol. As soon as as I finish one meal I’m planning the next. So far I’ve done rib steaks, strip loin steaks, beef ribs, pork ribs multiple times, and salmon a few times.

Finally cooked the perfect steak for my wife. Easy to cook restaurant quality steaks!!

First thing I tried to cook was chicken breasts cooked to 145F after marinating in salt, cajun spice, and some olive oil. The result was just as chewy and rubbery as when I have tried to cook them on the grill. No fault of the Anova Precision Cooker Pro, it held the temp and circulation perfectly.

The new models are so quiet I can barely hear it! Love this product!

I have used a couple of times and am happy with the results. Connected to my Wi-Fi without issues, which my original model wouldn't do.

A birthday gift for my husband, it will be hard to top it next year! We love it!

This was an upgrade on the smaller sous vide heater for me. Everything is better - faster, stronger and most importantly more stable connections via WiFi etc

I’ve used my Anova cooker Pro to cook Singaporean Hainan Chicken and had the best result, soft and juicy chicken ever 👍

I did a long cook on this lamb. It was so soft and tasty.

Sorry, but this unit is not very well designed or poor materials that is made of. Going back to my nano that I have had for years. Just use this one for back up

Great piece of equipment, strong and hold the temperature precisely. Had some issues connecting it to the App, however. Overall solid product.

My second purchase after my original unit stopped working after more than a decade of consistent use. Excellent control and results.

Very impressed with the Anova Precision Cooker Pro.

It’s easy to set up and use and I’m having fun exploring the different things I can make with it.

Works better than I expected
