I've just requested a return on this. I'm sick with the Flu and spent most of yesterday trying to make the App work.
Nothing I did was successful. Customer service was no help.
Good luck to you all with the Anova.

I don't know what they are doing in Canada, but we were told that they would honor any price reductions for 100 days. Please let us know how your chat goes.
I was unable to reach them by phone, so sent an email requesting the refund at 12:23.
At 1:56 they had refunded the difference.
Thumbs up for a quick response.

Just received an email from Anova with "Early Black Friday" sales.
I popped another APO in the cart and the price is @ $37 less than the one
purchased last Thursday.
Too late to call them today, but we'll have a chat in the morning.
I expect them to reduce the price.

Hey, that's some fellow Arkansas hillbillies! You know it has to be good.
We eat some of their other products and enjoy them.

I have been trying since last night to buy the darn thing. My credit card (and John's) keep getting rejected. It all started when the credit card company flagged the initial transaction as potential fraud and did not process it. . A phone call with them cleared that up. They assured us that we could go ahead and use it. No luck again this morning. I have a call in to them. The pessimist in me (the 1 %) says they will call this afternoon when we are out.
I had a similar experience. We purchased a new Heat Pump on Monday, then I decided to
buy the Anova late Thursday. My first purchase attempt was declined by my Apple card. I replied to their text and tried again with the same result. About 30 minutes of "Customer Support" and the charge was approved. I now have a tracking number and hope it makes it up the hill before Thanksgiving.
It will be an "upgrayedd" from my F. Blumlein I hope.

I rarely make pizza so it's actually for my breads. Do I really need this?
You said that you didn’t have a baking steel. This could work. Only you can
answer whether you need it.

While not perfectly sized, this would fit. I just tested mine and the fit is perfect front to back.
You'd have about 1.75" space on either side.
I've just emailed the Baking Steel folks to ask for one properly sized. I'll let you know what
they reply.

A universal tip for getting heavy stuff out of boxes:
1) Open top
2) Fold flaps down the side3) Flip box over
4) Lift box from product, rather than the other way around
That way you're lifting the light stuff (cardboard and foam), and gravity is your friend. Doing it the conventional way means you're doing the heavy work, and gravity is decidedly *not* your friend.
ETA: Waiting for helping hands with the final lift-into-place remains a wonderfully sound idea, of course...I opened mine that way. A lot easier to maneuver the inner box.

They have a new smaller less expensive oven now.

Climate plays a part in this. It is currently 39F up on my hill. I wouldn't try firing up my MAK 2 Star in this weather.
Not enough insulation to maintain heat for a cook.
I'm thinking about a Kamado Joe next Spring. They have even introduced a Pellet Joe.
-
What do you use to clean the cooktop. I'm a bit laid back with my cleaning and the surface gets built up with spilled substances.
Any suggestions for a great, safe cleaner?

I just checked and have the same firmware version.
Purchased new from Williams Sonoma in April.- 2

I'm pretty sure it showing 3 phase on the Katom site is a typo. The Henkelman site shows it as single phase. 3 phase is used on large loads to reduce the amp draw per phase and increase efficiency, which is not needed on a unit this size. I don't think Busch even makes a 3 phase vacuum pump that small.
3 phase power is almost always available in a commercial building, I have never seen it in a residence.
The bigger issue is 50hz European vs 60hz US. It would run slightly faster on 60 cycles and may or may not be detrimental to the motor. MOST loads are OK on 60hz, but not all. I would not want to risk it on a $3k sealer unless the manufacturer stood behind it.
Why not just buy a Minipack and be done with it? They are readily available and every bit as good as a Henkelman. Same Busch pump.
I questioned the US Rep for Henkleman about power and got this response back in May.
“Should have mentioned, Neo units exported to USA are 110/120V 60Hz. No ETL or NSF certification yet!
Luv the Neo design but prefer the CombiVac power and ease of use of control panel”- 1

Is the below same as Henkelman, just rebranded? I'm having trouble finding Neo 42 for sale in the US.

Good catch, that looks just like it for a lot less. I went to Henkelman's website and spoke to a rep.
Covid is messing up everything. Shipping was going to cost a ton and the Neo hadn't been
approved yet it the US. As I'm not a business, I didn't care.

Only because of the size? I haven't seen this model before, but really like how it looks compared to their other machines.
I have more time with it and it is a handy unit. I still wish it was a bit larger as I buy large cuts of meat.

VacMaster dropped a Video on the 95 yesterday.
I'm hoping for a more in depth look, but not optimistic.

I spoke to the Lady and the 9 X 12 bags are a few weeks out. I'll try to be patient

My machine can take a 9" X 12" bag. They are going to be hard to find.
I'll need every bit of width there is to do the things I want.
Slight buyers remorse right now.
-
I’ll be needing bags, and VacMaster is out of just about everything.
Do you folks have a preferred source for bags?

looks like a fine deal , and about 1/2 the weight of the VP215.
the Chanber also looks like it has more depth than the VP215
a nice feature if you are Vac'ing liquids.
or marinating w/o needing a final seal.
pair this w an Anova Steam Oven
and you are out only $ 1,200
such a deal !
No need for the Anova, I have the F. Blumlein.
I’m happy with it, even if they are recipe thieves.

I hope you eventually get your Henkelman. At 64 kg it is not a possibility for me.
I planned to buy it this year, but my daughter is buying a Condo and Dad is helping. -

An oil pump machine for $800? Beautiful, congrats! Looks great.
Read on. The coupon for $599 is still good.

I bought this Unit and it arrived Saturday. Only 8 years of dithering!
This unit ships with oil and installation was simple.
You must download the owners manual and it is a bit lacking.
VacMaster sent me an email Thursday with special pricing. That plus
10% off made it a no brainer. It's a tiny thing, but will replace my
Foodsaver til I save up for a Henkelman unit.
My heart wants this, but my wallet isn't cooperating.
