3 hours ago, Porthos said:I suspect that the power draw will be in the 100+ watt range while it is coming to temperature and stabilizing. The power draw after that is what interests me.
The 2nd-gen Anova (BT/WiFi) is rated at 800W; I'm not sure it actually pulls that, but people have complained that it's underpowered compared to the original Anova (1000W).
Here's some power benchmarks on a variety of cookers.
The one critical question would be whether it actually reduces the heat output of the element after the cooking temp is reached, or whether it just "bursts" it at full blast for very short intervals.
In re: the Electrolux acquisition, it's been noted elsewhere that Electrolux actually pulled out of the small appliance market in the US. I wonder if their play is to use the Anova brand to get better traction in that area.
