Anova Nano - What to do?

[Boatboy24]

A while back, Anova started accepting preorders for their new "Nano", a smaller, sous vide unit, but one that looked very capable. I thought it'd be neat to have as a secondary for veggies, sides, and other things that I might want to do separately. So I preordered. Well, production has been delayed, and they are giving the option of waiting, getting a 'regular' bluetooth SV unit, or a full refund. I'm not sure what to do, but am tempted to just grab the bluetooth unit. I currently have the 'original' Anova unit. Thoughts are appreciated.

@Boatboy24 Just saw this today, and having just received the bluetooth version I can say I love it. Although I can already see where the WiFi version would have some advantages. As long as you NEED to keep track of time temp etc from farther than a room or two away it would be fine.

Iphones seem to work better with WIFI apps than bluetooth. I find that android devices work well with bluetooth. So the decision should probably be based on what device you plan on accessing the Anova with.

No problems with my Anova BT unit on iPhone. Used twice now and no issues.

Thanks Mike. Got my shipping notice earlier today. Should be here early next week. I have the original Anova and am anxious to see the differences. Now I can do chicken and steak at the same time.

Anyone thinking about a Sous Vide purchase, today is the day to get off the fence. Amazon has the BT model for $95 and the WiFi + BT for $112. Best price I have seen to date.

My BT unit arrived Friday. Excited to try it out. It is noticeably smaller than my older one.
