I was offered an opportunity to put this Nano through its paces for a few days. I can never refuse an opportunity to play with a kitchen toy. It still will never measure up to my Joule but so far I have been quite impressed.   It feels solid and is so intuitive that I didn’t even bother taking the plastic off the instruction manual. I can see where choosing the right vessel would become a bit of an issue as compared to other units. This is due, as others have mentioned, to the fixed clamp position on the unit. In this vessel the water barely meets the minimum level marked on the unit.  It would soon fall below that minimum due to evaporation for any kind of longer cook. I’m planning on doing some eggs so I don’t think will be an issue for that length of time (15 mins @ 75°C). 

 

The nano marketing states that it is quieter than the precision cooker. I’ve got both and the PC is practically whisper quiet (unless the skirt bumps the impeller, ha) but the nano has a whine. How is yours in terms of noise?
