No app, no account, no pairing. One dial sets time and temperature. That suits anyone who does not want a phone near the stove. The cost: no remote control, so you stand in the kitchen.
Power is 1100W for a 15 L bath, the top wattage in this set. The range runs to 203°F, higher than most picks here, with calibration against your own thermometer. The lower limit is 68°F, so it will not hold near-fridge temperatures that some Anova models list at 32°F.
Extras are practical: MIN/MAX fill lines, a low-water cutoff, a removable stainless housing and a 99-hour timer with an overtime counter. At 15.6 in tall it needs a deep pot and some storage room. The listing also sells it in other colours.
