Nothing keeps a kitchen gadget from being used like being out of sight, out of mind. Whereas my Joule just sits next to my silverware because it's about the size of a large flashlight.
The Anova's have actual manual controls instead of being controlled exclusively by an app, so that's what I got my dad. He'd never figure out how the app works. If not wanting to use your phone is a key consideration, go with the Anova. But if you've used any sort of basic aps on a smartphone, the Joule app is really simple and the streamline shape/size of the Joule just works better for my purposes.

Right on.
Is this the one you have?

I looked on America's Test Kitchen and that was the "winner", but it's pretty expensive, comparatively. The ATK article was fussy about the Anova one because it was a degree off and you can't set anything finer than 5 minutes, so they had a hard time cooking eggs (which I will not do), and they said the app was wonky.
Ultimately, I'd like to prepare protein (maybe veg too) and then start it at a specified time and sear it when I get home.
I'm guessing this is the one Lewdog was using?
