Key Details
2.0 vs 3.0 -- Which Should You Buy?
The Anova 3.0 is the newer model with 1100W versus 1000W and a refreshed app. However, the 3.0 has weaker feedback than the 2.0, and the 2.0 has a far larger buyer base. If price is similar, the 3.0's 100 extra watts is not a meaningful cooking difference -- water heats to temp either way, just slightly faster. The 2.0's track record gives more confidence. If the 3.0 is significantly cheaper, that changes the math.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- The largest buyer base in this review
- WiFi app control within Anova's established app ecosystem
- Listed temperature accuracy of plus or minus 0.1 degree C
- Well-documented -- huge community of recipes and guides
Cons
- Older model -- 3.0 offers more power and app improvements
- 1000W vs 1100W on the newer Anova 3.0
Bottom Line
Buy the Anova Precision Cooker 2.0 if you want a proven sous vide from a trusted brand with the largest buyer base in the category. If the 3.0 is the same price, consider it for the wattage bump, but the 2.0 is the safer bet on track record alone.
