I think it looks like a really nice unit, Joe, especially like the 1100 watt element. The only thing that would make me nervous is no display on the unit, or manual controls. I have experienced not being able to connect my phone to my Anova, but could still set time & temp manually. Just my 2¢... For the same price (without any specials) as the WiFi Anova, I'd pick Anova over the Joule for the sole reason I mentioned, all things being equal.
