I bought this to replace a less expensive and lesser known sous vide cooker that was getting a bit buggy with the timer function. The Anova has an excellent app, excellent display and controls. My only observation so far is that while the device it replaced was also 1000 watts, the older device appears to heat the water significantly quicker than this one. That being said, I pair the two in the same cook pot to get the water to temperature more rapidly.

I had a Series 2 for several years but found that it was very slow and sometimes non-responsive when interacting with the display. I traded it in for a Series 4 which was a major upgrade. While the case was smaller on the Series 4 the screen was larger than the Series 2. The Series 4 is far more responsive and I'm very satisfied with the purchase.

My old toaster oven died right as the coronavirus mess was getting underway. Online retailers were going to take a month or more which wasn’t going to work for us since the toaster oven is one of the highest use appliances in the kitchen. Best Buy had it in stock across town and was offering curbside pickup which worked great!! The toaster has exceeded our expectations for toasting, baking and air frying. We anticipate using the rotisserie feature soon and we're looking forward to the results.

My modem was getting flaky which could result in multiple reboots in a day. As part of my troubleshooting I decided to try using one of these plugs on the modem so I could schedule reboots when the system wasn't being used. The nice feature about this device is that once the schedule is saved via the easy to use app the schedule is retained in the device, not the cloud. It worked as advertised.

I had a previous Cuisinart coffee maker with grinder in it that I was satisfied with but it was time for an update. The burr grinder with a large hopper is a real plus. The controls work well and the display is easy to read. Cleanup is easier than my previous coffee maker with grinder. As an added bonus, it makes a great cup of coffee!

Does one need to buy a sealer for the bags? Are the bags bpe free?

No, a vacuum sealer is not needed for the bags. An alternative is what is commonly referred to as the immersion method where you submerge nearly the entire bag with exception of the open end to force the air out of the bag. All the bags I have seen for sous vide / vacuum sealing are BPA free but it's best to check the details before buying them. Additionally, some companies make silicone bags that are washable and reusable.
