The Anova Precision Cooker and the ThermoVide by Optimum are both appliances in the sous-vide category, a technique used by professional chefs around the world to cook meat slowly and evenly to preserve its moisture.
Both models come with LED displays, have a 360° directional pump to circulate water and have similar working capacities (12-20 litres for the ThermoVide vs 15-19 for the Anova) but the ThermoVide comes out on top in almost every other way. The Optimum appliance has a stronger motor (1,300 watts vs the Anova’s 800), offers a broader temperature range (0-95 degrees vs 25-99) and circulates a higher quantity of water per minute (10 litres vs 8).
The ThermoVide is also equipped with precision Positive Temperature Coefficient heating technology, which is superior to the traditional coiled heaters, used by the Anova.
The only features where the Anova has the advantage are its longer timer function allowing it to go for 99 hours compared to a top time of 59.59 hours for the ThermoVide and its Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.
Optimum is a proven world-class supplier of home appliances and all its products are covered by its renowned warranty. The ThermoVide is no exception and it comes with a standard 1-year domestic warranty. The Anova also comes with a 1-year warranty.
