## What reviewers say

One whitelisted tester (Reviewed/USA Today) hands-on lab-tested the exact Anova Precision Cooker Pro. It ranked the Pro the strongest of Anova's three models — fastest to temperature (22 min to 132°F) and accurate to within about half a degree of overshoot — but judged it overpriced versus the cheaper ChefSteps Joule and not worth the price for most home cooks. Only this single whitelisted source reviewed this exact model. (Based on 1 review, 1 lab-tested, 2022-02-01.)

Praised: Fastest of Anova's models to reach temperature; quick ramp-up (22 min to 132°F); Accurate, consistent temperature hold with minimal overshoot (under half a degree); Durable, waterproof, drop-resistant build with 1200W of power.
Flagged: Overpriced — about twice the cost of the ChefSteps Joule and not worth it for most home chefs; Bigger and bulkier than other Anova models.
Disagreement: Only one whitelisted tester reviewed this exact model, so no cross-source comparison is possible. Even Reviewed, while rating the Pro the strongest of Anova's three units, still picked the cheaper ChefSteps Joule as its overall best rather than the Pro.
