scfnet Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I'm looking to buy a sous vide wand and want to limit my spend to about £100 Current options are Anova Nano £65 Anova BT £79 Anova BT + WiFi £99 Lakeland £99 Nisbets Caterlite £96 Sousvidetools iVide £99 The lakeland and nisbets ones are higher power than the others (1.3kW / 1kW as opposed to 800 - 900W). Does anyone have an recommendations? What else should I be looking at? This probably isn't something I'll use a lot, time will tell, but I want to give it a try.

Justin Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Wancle is the one I use and considerable cheaper, it does not connect to phone apps etc but it works perfectly. Get it on Amazon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icefever Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Scfnet welcome to the forum matey, we have both a bath type and the wand, which happens to be a Wancle, only because I got it at a knockdown price of £50. To be honest, I don't think I would ever go for one with wifi, I'd use the wifi may be a couple of times, then wouldn't bother after. We find that after the initial setup we don't touch ours at all, and we do 24hrs runs on both pork and beef joints. You say that you think you may not use it much, wait until you get into the world of sous vide. Everything you do will have more flavour, it stays in the bag until you open it. I did chicken Kiev sous vide just last week, I even use the wand when I make cheese, it's great for holding a temp for 90 mins, +/- 1c.

Icefever Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 If you have time take a read of Sarah's threads on sous vide, (that's if you haven't already ) One to start off with..https://www.woodsmokeforum.uk/topic/893-current-set-up-sous-vide-everything/?tab=comments#comment-7171 Ice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scfnet Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Thanks both, I've added the Wancle to the list and removed some due to lack of reviews. I agree that the WiFi and probably BT is not going to make much difference - If I'm in BT range then I can look at the device itself! I will search out and read Sarah's threads over Xmas and then try to decide - hopefully there may be some offers around soon Alastair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
