  1. Auto-resume isn't being included due to liability reasons. I had it running on a early build but had to pull the function.
  2. I've convinced my superiors to release calibration functions ahead of schedule - which was suppose to be a "feature" on the next version release. The systems are capable of user calibration adjustment right now. Tapping the top right corner of the boot screen 3 times will pop up a screen you will allow you to +- the temperature read. Press "0" to accept or "x" to exit. The adjustment increments are in 0.1C when you hit either the plus or minus. You can make the system match any thermometer you want but please be careful when doing this.
  3. What does "taking care of the system" involve? The number 1 reason for motor failures from what I have experienced is excessive over heating caused by jammed impellers and shafts. Motors do last a very long time but in a circulator they run as part of a pump mechanism during operation which can be compromised by the following: 1) bending the stirring shaft 2) taking the skirt off and running the unit where objects gets jammed into the impellers 3) dropping the entire system in water 4) letting hair, strands of debris, organics growth that collect over time that can build to the point it jams the entire mechanism. <-- this actually happens
  4. Pump Motors are rated for 5K hours per warranty and will last much longer if you actually take care of the system - The pump design on the current system is one of the more innovative designs we've cooked up - @ 12 liters(3gal)/min might seem ok just by itself but you can vector the output to any angle allowing you to create good circulation even when you have large bags in the pot. This is especially effective when you have a round pot - you angle the flow around the edge which feeds back into itself.
  5. Hello this is Jeff senior engineer & project manager @Anova Industries/Culinary @Beusho - There is a 2 week return period on top of a 1 year warranty. I basically shrunk down one of our lab circulators for this unit - you won't be disappointed. @Tri2Cook - CSA certification got postponed (~ 2 months) other projects have priority ATM. If you still want a unit call in during business hours: shipping + customs was around $75 last time I checked. You might get me actually until I can fill all the sales positions here. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me
