maybe the slots were too wide or maybe kid me was just a dumbass but my wings always ended up crooked. the tailplanes and nose weights were impossible to get wrong though.

So Which One?

It really depends on your needs. All three are strong products that, for the most part work. work as advertised, and any problems I've had with them were quickly solved either by troubleshooting with the manual, or emailing the manufacturers. I can't tell you for sure whether my personal experiences were identical to what others can expect, but from all reports I've heard, customer service for all three products has been responsive and helpful thus far.

The larger size and faster heating of the Anova and the Sansaire will appeal to more serious cooks and chefs who have big projects planned, while the more compact design and cuter look of the Nomiku makes it a better option for more casual home cooks who are looking to cook smaller meals and host the occasional larger party.

The lower price point of the Anova and Sansaire is very appealing to me, and personally I prefer the slightly smaller profile of the Anova—it let's me slip it into a cabinet just a bit more easily than the bulkier Sansaire. You should also ask yourself which interface you like. The Sansaire and Nomiku are simpler to operate, but the Anova has more potential for features down the road.

As for me? With all three devices currently residing in my kitchen, I've found myself reaching for the Anova most often.

buy an anova. it costs the same as a sansaire, is superior or equal in most ways, costs the same and, most importantly, is actually shipping now and isnt vapourware built by some foodblogger in his garage.

no its going to be good when it comes out but yes an anova is superior because its actually shipping and costs the same price

it's just a group buy, so they can get lower prices on bulk part orders and such

i thought tihs was rad looking so i ran it by the engineery folks at my work and they dont see the word "Calibrate" anywhere so they hesitate to trust it as a measuring tool, but then again we have http://www.home.agilent.com/en/pd-1000001297%3Aepsg%3Apro-pn-3458A/digital-multimeter-8-digit?&cc=US&lc=eng for our low current measurements
