That wasn't offered although in fairness to them, I had requested a return in my email. I've emailed them back and clarified that I'd be happy to do an exchange if they can send me a properly working unit. We'll see what they say

Well, I've arranged for a return with anova. They've agreed to waive return shipping costs (don't know why that had to be a special exemption) but won't refund me the initial shipping. Overall, I have to say I'm disappointed with my experience. I took a chance on a relatively new and upcoming product, spent time troubleshooting it, and when it turns out to be defective, I'm out the shipping costs? I offered to send anova videos of the issues I was having and comparing it to the polyscience creative. If you rally want to build a customer base, why is the message, buy our product and if it doesn't work, you're out at least $20-$40?

I just got mine so I think it's a v2. Either way, the error isn't consistent. Some times it's low, some times high. So far I've noticed a spread of up to 2.7 degrees front target temp which Just doesn't work for me. I'd rather pay the extra $100 and get something that actually works. I'm not looking to knock anova, if they can replace it with a unit that consistently performs welll, then GREAT but this one just doesn't.

I wish I could say I loved mine. I registered to provide feedback. I originally ordered my anova circulator after having placed an order for the polyscience creative and subsequently realizing there was a cheaper model out there. When I got my anova circulator, I was excited and couldn't wait to try it. Unfortunately, it wasn't accurate to my thermapen. At 130f it was 0.5f too low. At 150f, it was 2.0-1.2 too low. As an experiment, I ran it back to back with the polyscience and the polyscience kept it within 0.2f no matter the temp Jeff suggested that their design necessitated foiling the top of the cover. While i find this an inherent design flaw given that polyscience doesn't require this I tried that. This time the anova circulator was 0.5f too High while the polyscience was dead on within 0.1f. Which one of these is not like the other? I offered to provide a video to anova and offer to do the same here since I'm a newb to prove I'm not trolling or flaming. I really want this to work since it's $100 cheaper but it seems you get what you pay for.
