I think the overall design of Joule is better, but the fact that you are forced to use a phone or tablet to control the Joule is a big drawback. Is there a specific reason your prefer it?
- ozi 10y agoThe Joule is much newer. My Anova was 2 years old before it we even announced by ChefSteps.
- rickdale 10y agoAt least using the iPad with the Joule and ChefSteps isn't as bad as using the iPad with the intelipan, a different 'smart' cooking device. With the intelipan, they make an internet connection obligatory and no option for not signing in. I would have returned the Joule if the app made me do all that. I dont mind using my iPad in the kitchen, I don't prefer it, but I do mind signing in to cook dinner...
- kbouck 10y agoI chose anova over joule for this reason and this reason only. My concern for a device with an app-only interface is the company might disappear, and the app and internet service might stagnate. With physical controls I'll still be able to use the product. Id love to see a joule v2 with a display and a twistable top to set the temp.
