Anova NANO Sous Vide In Depth Review!

[@lepe]

Judging by how laid back your other videos are I didn't expect such a to-the-point review. Amazing.

[@braydenkenney3313]

Exactly what I thought too.

[@dioFLim]

Guga, I love this style of review!! Its very short, no bullshit , to-the-point review. Would love to see more like this in the future!

[@DACFalloutRanger]

Enough with the bullshit talk

[@bendadestroyer]

So bigger one circulates stronger but nano hits target faster... they must be using a stronger heating element. Why do you say the bigger is better, Guga?

[@twwells]

Now I just want to hear Guga say "and that's no bullshit everybody"

[@JuniorMazerati]

Very professional, I don't even have any questions.

[@jayb3829]

That video was ....... nice.

[@alvshill]

Jay B ... you beat me to it 😊

[@AGiantSloar]

All I can say is... Yes

[@krazoe6258]

Love this style of review. Super well edited

[@charlieraines]

Love the review style! No fluff, punchy and super informative - I'm buying one of these this week too!

[@chandlercolleran2492]

Holy crap best product review I have ever seen. Honest, and answered questions I didn’t even know I had.

[@fernandobarrera6440]

Amazing style of review! Really enjoy your videos. I Wish life was like this.

[@moongloomable]

Wish every review on KZbin was like this. Great job

[@johnknightiii1351]

This video is so well made. Thanks for the amazing content

[@spinner9060]

Thanks for the review. I received my Nano 2 days ago. So far I like it, a lot. Another benefit not directly annotated in this review, portability. I frequently travel and end up being designated "chef" at destination. I believe it will pack and travel easier than other models I have carted around.

[@Canny-Octopus]

The voiceover was hysterical, and covers an astonishing amount of comparison points in a very short amount of time.

[@SDSBBQs]

*New game... Guga says "Nice..." you Drink!*

[@micdogg187]

SDSBBQ anddddd I'm dead

[@davekimball3610]

I'm sooo drunk

[@vaazig]

I drink schhooo mussshhh.

[@xvInoahIvx]

shit...

[@blzurd4792]

I'm at the hospital now as they pump my stomach. Thanks

[@darkflame808]

My heart sank when I saw you reach inside water to grab an electrical item. Glad you were ok!

[@WyattUTFT]

You were on volts not watts for the after it heats up part.

[@lout3921]

I wish all reviews were quik and to the point like this one. Fantastic job!

[@tonybevilsizer2331]

So glad you did a review on this, guga. You’re the guy I trust when it comes to sous vide

[@kiieep381]

I like this review. I am considering purchasing a Sous Vide circulator, having not used one before, and am new to this technology. Thank you. I like your style.

[@madmanis12345]

Damn, whoever tries to top this review has their work cut out for them

[@mcf3778]

goldsilverandiamonds maybe unbox therapy will try a new segment

[@franhdeze]

You made such a great video that you convinced me to buy it yesterday and receive it today! I'm a big fan of your channel for a long time! Keep it up, congratulations!!!

[@estebanthemagnificent]

This is such a refreshing style of review video. Very straight forward, very informative, a no-nonsense. Well done!

[@Shane-Singleton]

Nice simple review. This would be an EXCELLENT beginner unit especially at such a low price. I won't need one of these since I already have the Inova Wifi but I was very much looking forward to the review. Nicely done! Can't wait to see the video of your first cook with it.

[@TheJakeRobinson]

wow, very smooth and cool production value on the review... nice background music...also, you corrected my mistake on being able to power off with button... sorry to the folks for my mistake...

[@metaspherz]

I have never sous vide before but after watching your truly tantalizing videos I had to buy the Anova Nano. Bluetooth is a great feature too. I just finished unboxing it. I had to come to my favorite foodie channel and blab about it. Today Sept. 2020 Amazon sells it for $129 and so does my local Kohls for the same price. I used $50 in Kohls Cash to buy it so I saved a lot. I plan to test it out with salmon filets and some shrimp with corn on the cob and potato. Thanks for your review!

[@Saiyukimot]

Love the intensity of the first half. Unique first person inside of head thoughts point of view

[@Isolden11]

Just bought an anova because you use them! ty for all you do!

[@botdimi4932]

I love the smooth type talk in the beginning

[@technoholican]

discrete, detailed, best review/unboxing video I have ever seen. nice.

[@JLamstudio]

Mine just arrived today. Excited to see what new features this model has.

[@DrivingWithJake]

And bought one, was looking at this the other day and almost bought it but seeing this pushed me over the edge it will be a nice addition to my normal Anova.

[@Dorff_Meister]

I got mine a few days ago and finally tried it last night. Comparing it with my existing Anova (Bluetooth). A few observations: 1. Because it is shorter and the position of the clip, in my Kitchen Aid tub I need MORE water than with my original Anova 2 to get above minimum. 2. it seemed to heat the water faster 3. It seems to have a lower minimum temperature. We tend to lower the temp to 115-117 after a cook but this machine wouldn't do it. Perhaps the water had dropped below minimum? I will try again next time. 4. I like the size and integrated clip. 5. The -/+ buttons are less convenient, slower to adjust than the wheel. 6. The new sounds are nice. I never found bluetooth reliable enough to be useful - the size of our house and my inability to sit still mean I am generally not close enough for Bluetooth to work. I have a thought of setting up a Raspberry Pi in my kitchen with an application to collect data from the Anova devices via Bluetooth. Maybe this fall or winter I'll play with that (I did a proof of concept a few months ago, I was able to connect and collect data from the Anova).

[@tonybobulinski7224]

We’re you ever able to get that working? I’d like a Homebridge or home assistant app as well

[@lqr824]

just use your pre-existing security cam and do OCR off the readout, that's what I do

[@Dorff_Meister]

@@lqr824 LOL that's awesome. I prefer no cameras inside the house, but fun solution.

[@DrumAdrian16]

Best review video I've seen in a long time. I love the beginning the most

[@teresadiservio761]

Wow! You really thought of everything to test & compare!! Thanks!!

[@Say_whaaaaat]

What an awesome review. I don't even have a sous vide but now I want one

[@NoodllZ]

this is probably now my favourite review ever

[@vizigr0u]

As usual, your tests look very serious and complete, thanks!

[@inuyashaspet]

I absolutely love your voice in this video. An amazing tech review!

[@mattimakela2225]

"So I have to touch it for you" made me laugh. NICE!

[@lindapasquali2670]

Thanks Guga! You sure answered all my questions, and even those I didn’t think I had until you covered them (like will it work through two walls in between). Great video!

[@thequantaleaper]

Ability to power off... How revolutionary! 🤔🤣. Wish my Anova had that. Great review Guga! One thing that surprised me is that the nano was faster to heat up the water? Less watts and slower circulation... But faster heating?

[@SDSBBQs]

Probably cause the water isn't moving as well and therefore not as warm on the outer edges of the container.

[@SDSBBQs]

yeah... that... You said it much better than I did.

[@BurtWeed]

It could also be that the control loop is tuned differently. Maybe the big brother backs off the heating sooner as it approaches target temp while the Nano puts out full power until just before it hits the target temp. It's hard to tell from the video... but based on the big brother being ahead until the 15:22 time / 134.4 deg mark (on a race to 135), that's my guess. Would like to know how it went from room temp to 110deg to get an approximation for the first order time constant of the system. That would tell you a lot as well.

[@jkanelol4397]

Makes sense...like when I stop my Anova and the temp shoots up because it’s much warmer at the source...likely not as consistent across the entire container as the big brother is

[@Shaun.Stephens]

+Burt Weed Yeah the algorithms that they use for the big one are carefull selected so as not to *over-shoot* the set temperature. So they are very fast at heating from cold to within a few degrees of target but then slow down (PWM) and take ages for the last degree. That's good thing - I see people saying that it's slow(er than the Joule) so it's not as good. They're wrong.

[@circle4922]

That 118 reading on your 'killowatt' meter was the voltage reading, not the wattage...Unless I'm not squinting hard enough. :) Peace.

[@z6705]

Guga,. I am a newbie to sous vide and used the nano to cook up picanha and carrots; which were both excellent!!!! This was my first cook!!! I got into sous vide after subbing to your channel. Love it!!!! Thanks for continuing to make great vids and for your honest opinions. Hello to the guys!!!

[@Tdavisreed9489]

How easy is it to take apart and clean? I had a glass jar of egg bites break and leak and cleaning my Anova Bluetooth model wasn't horrible because the metal sleeve comes off and you can get to the impeller, heating rod, and sensor easily and scrub them with a toothbrush. Is the Nano similar or do you need other cleaning methods?

[@mirozen_]

Guga this was an excellent review! I find myself always referring people to "Sous Vide Everything" to learn more about sous vide cooking. This video is another example of why I do so. Thanks!

[@BroadbandBrat]

Top notch review!! I love how you get right to each point with out faffing about.

[@ShaneChanka]

I don't usually comment on review videos, but this review was done so damn well. Great review man! Keep it up!

[@MichaelJohnson-of7jw]

I was given the Anova AN500 as a gift in December 2020. It was used properly, but died this week. No power to the unit at all (the AN500 has no reset buttons). I emailed Anova for suggestions to power it up, and they asked for a receipt before they could simply the device. After tracking the receipt down and sending it to them, they replied explaining how my AN500 was three months over warranty, and while I "must be very disappointed in the performance of their product" (yes, they wrote that!) there was nothing they could or would do. If you choose an Anova sous-vide cooker, assume it's a disposable. Mine was used a dozen times before it died.

[@Athecubus]

Bust bought mine for Christmas! So excited!

[@osbournpatrickkemp1232]

Another great video. Thank you. I see that there is now a new Anova (2019) Precision Cooker. The tech specs look the same, except for power: 750W (Nano) vs. 1000W (Anova 2019) 2019, which now also has an adjustable & detachable clamp. I'm guessing for those looking at the new unit, this video would give some good insight without having you do a whole new review.

[@KingAlphaLion81]

I had one of these on order cause the preorder was only 69.99, then something happened with production and was delayed and they offered a free upgrade to the Bluetooth model with 0 extra money. Damn right I upgraded and never looked back. Then I found you some after and binged all your videos.

[@ivanstoilov279]

one of the best reviews i have ever seen nice job

[@MrTomcatCZ]

NICE

[@emmgeevideo]

I bought my Anova 6 months ago without WiFi. I use it a lot. I have never encountered a situation where I thought, “Darn, I wish I had gotten WiFi.” Not sure if the new one comes without WiFi but if it does, I would recommend the non-WiFi version.

[@keese187]

yes, yes, yes and yes. just that alone made this worth watching.

[@misty671]

Wonderful review. You are the sous vide champion. Thanks for all the great videos and demonstrations.

[@frazmeup]

All tech reviews should be like this.

[@nklas9997]

I have a really really bad hangover but this video just made me feel better

[@DavePruett]

Well done! I love the fact that there is competition among the various sous vide makers. Better tech, less money, gotta love it! Why do you say the Big Brother is clearly superior? By what criteria?

[@salamiman223]

Just bought this due to it being on sale for $65 and I can't wait to try it out on some juicy steaks. Thanks for giving me the confidence to explore this new area of cooking!

[@BlendingWithHenry]

One of the things I like about the Joule is the fact that it's magnetic, so it can sit inside any size metal pot.

[@spencer-mav]

Had been looking for info on this - then poof - you posted a review. Happy to say mine came last week!

[@Azreale]

Guga I just ordered one! I got it for $90 bucks new! Can't wait! I got the Anova 900W Bluetooth/wifi as well. I can't wait for this lighter quieter version!

[@geraldpasion3378]

damn.. the most intense and dramatic, action packed, sexy and cinematic introduction for a sous vide equipment.. i want one.

[@garbygarb31]

This is how all reviews should be. No bullshit

[@chrisp.795]

Love it! Thanks for trying it out Guga!

[@Gabel666]

That's the type of review and comparison I like!

[@zachattack83]

Just made my second steak with my nano (I bough it yesterday haven’t even had it 24 hours yet). Ahhhhhhhhmazing!

[@DomBogey94]

Does sous vide really make a big difference? I'm thinking about getting the nano myself and any information would be great :)

[@brianhogg358]

This is the most dramatic/ominous review I've sen for a sous vide machine.

[@RageTheNumbers]

Hi G. You took apart the little knob at the bottom, that;s great, but does the long cylinder come out as well, like with the "big brother"? Say you have a bag open up and the water gets messy, that contamination will seep of the opening. Can you get into it to clean it? Up to the element?

[@drewgoku]

This was the most helpful review, thank you so much!

[@EK-ej3ll]

Wish you talked more about the differences between the two and what occasions would I want to use either.

[@Imfknhungry]

just bought one today. Will be my first Sous Vide and i bought it because I just received my umai bags to dry age a 3 bone rib eye!!

[@ZelmaBees]

I'm new to this method of cooking so this was very helpful.

[@lnpau-tusi1164]

Bro I’m hooked I subscribed and you answered all my questions 👍🏻👌

[@petersalls4083]

I'm surprised it heats up the water quicker considering the nano is 750w compared to 900w. I ordered the nano a few days ago...can't wait to try it out. Thanks for the review.

[@sebastianklima]

Great review, straight to the point. Love this channel

[@robertspinoso1722]

Nailed it again,Guga! good info.

[@Strand0410]

This is a dot point review in video form. Perfect.

[@FireWaterCooking]

Thanks for the review Guga! I shared it on my Facebook group and page also!

[@SousVideEverything]

Thanks brother.

[@danf16dcc38]

Another great video guga always look forward to your new content

[@Battler624]

Can you do a complete guide on how to sous vide? With the stuff in the "beginners kit"? With no video cuts if possible (except when putting the meat in the sous vide itself) and no fast-forward. I want to learn how to do this, thanks man.

[@saboraprova8268]

comprei o Nano!! deve chegar dia 30/11! Já que o meu Anova bluetooth de um erro irreversível ! Marcando 202.7°c na temperatura da água ... pesquisei e identifiquei que foi “ vapor” na placa interna. Muito estranho isso né Guga! acho que seria legal vc fazer uma vídeo relatando problemas como o meu e de outros “ sousvideiros” !! abs e boa continuação , parabéns pelos vídeos ! 👏👏

[@GolfTube]

that was a very well produced video Guga!

[@arturonavarro9070]

Could you talk about why you think the wifi is better? or what are the most important things to think about when we are going to buy one? thaks

[@shorttimer874]

With the Mellow slowing inching down in price, would you be interested in doing a review on it? My wife ordered it for me when it was in development since I had gotten a 2nd gen Anova, with bluetooth, and was so enthusiastic about it. Since it only has about the same counter footprint as a loaf of bread we leave it out, and with it's ability to refrigerate prior to cooking I find that it's the one I use the most often. It does have some drawbacks, no physical controls, tends to start up by itself if left plugged in, manual mode freaks out if wireless connection to my phone is broken, sounds like a noisy aquarium, small tank (but double walled and with a lid for long cooks), and the high price.

[@lightfighter540]

Guga, great review. I'm buying it for the reasons you described for when I need something to make carrots or potatoes and my big anova is being used. Good job !

[@bthemedia]

Wish you used decibel meter for the noise/sound test... easy to do with an iPhone app!

[@dfaour1977]

between Joule and this anova... which will you pick ?? and i dont have any circulator

[@benjaminburgess6880]

Thank you. Don't know how I haven't seen this before

[@ACJr7]

Can the clamp be removed? I was thinking of making a cooler sous vide container but the clamp would have to be removed.

[@rks1789]

More compact, heats up faster, less cost... so what makes the nano worse? I'm curious how the heat time stacks up against Joule...

[@rorozoro9703]

wifi

[@stephancardenas-navarro127]

Got it today... Entry level sous vide to all the Guga's recipes... Now get the pineapple and charcoal for an amazing steak!

[@Elazul2k]

Anova Nano FINAL SCORE: "Nice!" xD

[@mavrk.d]

"New SVE video: Nice." *chill voice*

[@Supermoney97]

This one seems like a good gift for someone who doesn't know about sous vide yet

[@Theis124]

Get mine delivered today from Amazon. $99.00. Gave my original Anova away to a friend months ago. Can't wait to get cooking again.

[@lqr824]

5:30 WHY do you say the big one is better?? Other than this, I liked the video style a lot: minimal chat, just info, and very clear. Thanks!

[@blissfuldw]

This product can be found at Target here in the States. I was looking up reviews to see if its worth buying or not, and clicked on your video first!

[@vizigr0u]

I love that Shun knife, one of my best pairing knives
