What the testers found
America's Test Kitchen's Best Buy, praised for "its dead-on accuracy; its solid construction; its speed," powerful circulation and quiet running. The flaw: "The control panel display of this 14.5-inch-tall device points straight up, making it nearly impossible for a shorter tester to see, set, and check without standing on a step stool," and "there's no app to use instead." It comes with reusable bags and a small hand pump. It rated higher than the Anova for accuracy and speed. ATK didn't test long-term durability; 1-year replacement warranty.
