Title: $50 Disount on Anova Sous Vide and Target Announcement
Post by: SconnieQ on June 27, 2016, 10:28:01 AM
Here is the coupon code to use for $50 off on the Anova website.
anova-2csdtb23 (Edit: this code has now been used up. See posts below for more codes)

This is about the best discount you will find on this product. I don't see an expiration date in the email I received, so I think it lasts for quite a while. Here is the web version of the announcement if you want to read it. I'm wondering what the price will be at Target, but I doubt if it will be less than $149.

Nice work!  Been waiting for a deal to pull the trigger on this.  Thank you!

OK, OK, I have been beaten down by all of the impressive results from this device and this discount allowed me to pull the trigger. I had been resisting that as I didn't really think it is something that I would use. But, I am a sucker for kitchen/cooking equipment. I had been holding off because I knew they regularly had deals and figured that someone like Kari would put a code out there for us.

So thanks, Kari!

I think I'll try a Chuck Roast for the first experiment. I already have an 18qt Cambro container that I use for brining, so I think I'll just get another lid that I can cut the hole in for the Anova.

Should I get wifi or Bluetooth? Bluetooth is 20 dollars less.

I have WiFi. But admittedly I rarely use the WiFi connection. It's not something you need to "control" or monitor from a remote location. Pretty much set it and forget it. You can use the timer on your phone or elsewhere instead. I just feel that the WiFi will better serve me into the future, since I assume the Bluetooth version will be discontinued someday, and it was only 20 bucks extra. I know Tony (DM) uses the WiFi features and likes it.

I pretty much have to use wifi since bluetooth gives me all kinds of "holes" around the house.
Title: Re: $50 Disount on Anova Sous Vide and Target Announcement
Post by: SconnieQ on June 27, 2016, 02:41:44 PM
That's a good point. Bluetooth has pretty poor range. I lose connections around my house too with my bluetooth devices.
Title: Re: $50 Disount on Anova Sous Vide and Target Announcement
Post by: NDKoze on June 27, 2016, 02:43:03 PM
I got the WIFI because I figured for just $20 more I might like to be able to be track while I am gone. Or also because Bluetooth coverage even within a house can be sketchy unless you are close to the unit.

Here is some other information I found on their site:

What has changed in the WI-FI model?
The WI-FI model uses the same internals as the Precision Cooker Bluetooth with one important addition - WI-FI functionality.

Is there an upgrade option to exchange my Bluetooth device for a WI-FI one?
We are not currently offering any upgrade paths from Anova Precision Cooker Bluetooth to Anova Precision Cooker WI-FI.

Can I upgrade the firmware on my Bluetooth device to make it WI-FI compatible?
The upgrade to WI-FI is a hardware upgrade, not a software upgrade. The Bluetooth device does not have a WI-FI chip.

Tried to order mine about 3pm and when I entered the coupon code for the discount it came back with coupon code has reached it usage limit. Entered it again and same thing. Oh well there's always next time. Thanks for the heads up Kari! I should have been quicker to take advantage of the deal.

After I ordered my Anova, I received this code to give out:

anova-d8s38t5d

Give it a try and see if it works.
Title: Re: $50 Disount on Anova Sous Vide and Target Announcement
Post by: DivotMaker on June 27, 2016, 07:38:09 PM
Too bad they decided to partner with Target.  I will NEVER set foot in a Target, or spend another dime there, but won't get into that, to keep with forum guidelines to avoid politics.  Too bad they didn't pick a better vendor.  But, the $149 price, direct, is fantastic!

Now, with that said, let me add that the WiFi, I believe, is the way to go.  Not only do you have it around the house, but I love monitoring the unit away from the house (on those multi-day cooks).  It's nice to know if the power goes out, or be able to reset time or temp on the fly!  I've adjusted end times, if I mis-guessed the finish time.  Cool unit, and well-worth the full price, but a deal is even better!!

Just like recommending the #3...go for features you may not think you need now, but will enjoy, once you have! ;)

The code provided by NDKoze still works:
anova-d8s38t5d

Here's what I think is going on. The code provided in the email I received sounds like it is a "friends" code. So it maybe has a limited number of purchases (maybe 2 or 3?), and then it won't work. Try the code above provided by NDKoze Gregg. And if anyone else gets a unique code from this offer, or if you buy one and receive a code for a friend like NDKoze Gregg did, please pass it along.

You're onto something, Kari!  The code I got was:

anova-cst4f383


They're tracking the owner's codes!
Title: Re: $50 Disount on Anova Sous Vide and Target Announcement

So codes that probably still work as of now:

I would have never bought mine if it weren't for this forum, but I'm pissed that I spent $20 more than those that got this deal today.  ;)  I'll survive, though.

And Gregg, the chuck roast we did over 3 days........TO DIE FOR!!  Enjoy yours. :)

Look at it this way. That chuck roast you did was as good as prime rib, so you save $20 on that meal alone!

Just happened to stumble across this while searching for Anova Sous Vide Wifi, wondering anyone still has any code not redeemed? ;D Although .. it could possibly be too late, being that it's at Nov now, haha. Thanks in advance though!

You're a long ways off, Jing!  Welcome!!  We're pretty much about BBQ here, but there's a bunch of us who are really active in SV cooking, too!  The Anova is fantastic, so I hope you find a special again soon.  I bet Black Friday will bring one! ;)

Hi Jing, click on the "notify" button on this page, and you will receive an email when someone posts here. If I get anymore discount codes, I will be posting them here. I'm guessing there will be some coming up for the Christmas shopping season.

$30 off Wifi, $20 off bluetooth. I think there will be better deals to come, but if you really want one before Thanksgiving:

Here is a Discount Code (anova1-t9a39fbd) that will take an extra $30 off of the already discounted prices on the website:

Prices as of today 11/16/16 and it looks like the Discount Code is good until 11/19/16. But, based on past experience with these codes, the codes can only be used so many times. So, if you want one of these devices the quicker you place your order the better. I am guessing others may be getting codes today too, so more users may be posting additinal codes.

Good luck!

WIFI     Bluetooth
Regular Price - $199.00     Regular Price - $149.00
Sale Price - $169.00     Sale Price - $129.00
Price after Discount - $139.00Price after Discount - $99.00

Here is the info on the Black Friday deal:

I received a similar offer to Gregg except that the code was anova2-9t6c587f. Same expiration date of 11/19/16. Great little units-I have two (different locations). Not really sure that the wifi is worth it except for the wow factor.

They are a division (owned) by amazon.

It is to me.  I often control & monitor my cooker away from the house (especially on 2-3 day cooks).  I can tell if the power went out, or if I need to adjust time or temp.  I control mine with the phone app, no matter where I am, and I find that invaluable!  If you don't need to remotely control it, you don't need WiFi.  It's all about each person's needs.

One more thing... I have never been able to get mine to connect with Bluetooth!  It keeps asking for a stupid code that I don't know!  I downloaded an app called Anova Remote, when I had some WiFi issues, and it connects great.  The Anova Bluetooth part of the app is terrible, imo.  They may have fixed it, but I haven't tried it.

I used to think that WiFi was not necessary if you were always in your home, and within range. But I have since changed my mind, not just for Anova, but all bluetooth thermometers, etc. I have found bluetooth so unreliable in almost every situation (constant disconnects and reconnects), even in ranges which were supposed to work, but didn't, that I will never buy another bluetooth only device. WiFi or bust.
