Great addition to our kitchen
I had been sitting and thinking about buying a sous-vide for about a year and finally decided to take the plunge. I try to not buy tools that will just sit in my kitchen taking up space. Well, this thing has not been taking up unnecessary space so far.
I've had the Anova Sous Vide about a month now and I've been using it a few times a week. What I really like about this is that I can just look up a recipe in the app on my phone, throw the meat into a ziploc bag, push the start button and forget about it.
I haven't had too much trouble using ziploc bags. I use the water immersion technique to help get out air from the bag and it works for the most part. But it's not perfect and I end up going through a lot of ziploc bags. So even though a vacuum sealer is not required, if you use this often enough you're probably going to end up buying one.
My only regret is that I purchased the bluetooth one instead of the wireless version to save a few bucks. I think the wireless one would make it easier to keep updated of how much time is left when I'm not within bluetooth range and also adds the ability to link with my Amazon Echo.
