$99 Anova Nano Sous Vide Circulator Hits Amazon On June 30th

In January of 2017, Anova unveiled the Nano, a $99 sous vide circulator.

The Bluetooth-enabled, smaller form factor appliance gave Anova its first sub-$100 entry in what has become an increasingly price-competitive marketplace over the past couple of years. The Nano, which was announced at the same time as a new higher-end pro edition of the Anova circulator (the Pro 2.0), was expected to ship in October of last year, but the company announced in September that the Nano would not ship in 2017.

While some early preorder customers were understandably bummed, the company offered the early birds a full refund or the option of an exchange for the higher-priced Bluetooth circulator.

Those who chose to wait it out saw their patience rewarded these past couple weeks, as the company started shipping the Nano to preorder customers. The Spoon also learned this week that the Nano will be available via the Anova website and on Amazon.com starting tomorrow, June 30th.

A company spokesperson told The Spoon that there is still no word on when we might see the updated Anova Pro or the Anova Precision Oven, which the company unveiled at the Smart Kitchen Summit in October of 2016.

Anova Opens Pre-Orders For The Sub-$100 Nano

This week, Anova opened up pre-orders for their Nano, the company’s first sub-$100 sous vide circulator.

The device, which ships in October, is 25% smaller and a full pound lighter than the company’s Wi-Fi Precision Cooker. Perhaps more importantly, the Nano comes in about $70 less than the company’s flagship product. The full price for the Nano is $99, (if you move fast, you can preorder the Nano for $69), marking the first time Anova has dropped below the $100 mark.

The new lower-priced machine comes at a time when the sous vide market is getting more competitive. ChefSteps has been doing well with the Joule (and recently released a lower-cost version of their own), and low priced competitors like Gourmia have attracted budget conscious consumers. With the Nano and its $99 price tag, Anova hopes it can attract value customers looking for a low-priced sous vide circulator.

Later this year the company will ship its second generation Pro circulator for $299.  The company’s Precision Oven, a combi-oven that the company announced last year at the Smart Kitchen Summit, was originally expected to ship this summer, but the ship date has been bumped back to summer 2018.
