Anova Oven

I like my oven but it’s sometimes drives me crazy

„Unexpected error“

Firmware Update and connectivity is unproblematic for me. Following features are missing: - Easy sharing of recipes - Plots of all measured temperatures and humidity - native iPad app What would be really cool: - creating conditional recipes like delta-T cooking

I anticipated having issues with a so-called “smart oven.” This exceeds even those low expectations. Terrible troubleshooting, slow connection, and technology that already feels 5 years out of date. I strongly recommend avoiding this oven and its app.

After having used a wolf steam oven, we bought two of these. While the ovens themselves are good, the app is awful. Most importantly, it regularly loses its connection to the oven. This sometimes requires a hard reset - reaching behind the oven to unplug it. Secondly, it needs some basic "recipes" - ways to do simple things, like "steam broccoli". Everything is a complex recipe (like "spicy steam roasted broccoli"). Lastly, you can only connect to one oven. So my wife and I each need to control one. Very inconvenient. Simple fixes would make this a fantastic app and product.

We installed the Anova steam oven in our summer place where the microwave used to sit. Microwave sits beneath, costing me counter spec in a very small galley kitchen. Totally worth it. Easy installation, no product defects. Learning curve? yes but what would u expect ? But many recipes are programmed so no problem. Lots of great videos and recipes that work beautifully. We love it. Btw: the grilled cheese recipe is omg good.

Child Lock, a needed feature. Easy reconnect to the oven, it takes many attempts if something is wrong with the wi fi network, and error messages don’t tell what is wrong. On the hardware side, spare part availability.

Probe rarely works. Water tank is a joke. Interface and app malfunction constantly. Get a Joule instead

Periodically the oven loses connection to the app. Most times unplugging it and plugging it back in helps it find the connection (WiFi I assume). When that doesn’t work, I have to remove the oven from the app and re-connect from scratch. Now the app will not remove the oven. I resorted to this because sending feedback requires sending an email through the Apple email app.

…you have to build it so that it actually works consistently. I love the oven, and I use it several times a week. But a majority of the time, I have to work around the app—unplug/replug oven to get it to work; or stop a cook because the app is stuck on “starting.” The app needs to be more stable
