What reviewers say about the 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.

- Accurate, consistent temperature hold with minimal overshoot (under half a degree)
- Durable, waterproof, drop-resistant build with 1200W of power

- Overpriced — about twice the cost of the ChefSteps Joule and not worth it for most home chefs
- Bigger and bulkier than other Anova models
Where reviewers disagree 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.
The sources (1)
time to bring a pot of tap water to 132°F: 22 minutes
The Pro is the strongest performer of the three, with a very quick ramp-up speed, a durable, stylish exterior, and a whole 1200 watts of power.
The Pro also maintains a consistent temperature, and it didn’t overshoot its target of 132°F by more than half a degree.
While we were impressed with its performance, it currently retails for about $300, making it twice as expensive as the Joule.
