Shipping

On the downside my unit died after just a few uses nothing happened when plugged in but props to the anova people who responded... Read More

Competitiveness

I also bought a chefsteps joule for comparison purposes and ended up returning it

So i ordered this back in december of 2018 cant remember the seller but it came to me broken

Though i dont hate the idea of including another 3ft cord or something
