This is the second Anova Precision that has just stopped working right. Reads 32 degrees F, but keeps heating up to near boiling.

  2. i stopped buying anova after 2 replacements then they refused to help me again. Moved to an inkbird and it hasn’t failed once in 3 years.

    I have three Monoprice Strata’s that I’ll sell you for the low, low price of why in the blue fuck did I buy the 4th one.

    I had this happen and it was from a gunked up temperature sensor. Shut it off, take it out, remove the metal tube. Soak the heating element in full strength white vinegar for an hour or so, longer if you see a lot of buildup. I use a glass pint glass and prop it up so it doesn’t tip over. Wipe down everything but reserve the vinegar (strain out any debris). Then do a 50/50 water and vinegar mix in the tub, add back the circulator after putting the tube back on. Run that for two hours at 175-185F. When done, rinse off the circulator, empty the vinegar/water mixture, fill with clean water, and try it again at your desired temperature. When I do this, I use a more shallow pot than my usual stock pot.

    This was the only maintenance I have had to do with the sous vide. I switched to reverse osmosis water and now I never have to do this anymore.

    I’m onto my second (or should say waiting on delivery of) Anova 2.0 oven. Touch screen just suddenly gave up the ghost. Good customer service but they could do with building more robust machines. I see a lot of issues on with their build quality on Reddit

    Probably more shitty thermistors.

    You guys need to descale your shit once in a while.

    The mosquito whine emanating from my Anova nearly caused my wife to write off sous vide as another failed project by her gadget head husband. Switching to Inkbird promoted sous vide to a permanent kitchen appliance.
