Love mine. £189 is a joke. Always some deal available. I paid similar over a year ago but still well worth it for perfectly cooked food.

Terrible service for both pre-sales and post-sales. The WiFi model is terribly bad and doesn't like connecting to any modern WiFi at all.
I'd recommend you avoid this model, I expect it's end of life and due a replacement.
Anova was recently taken over by Electrolux.

Really? I've had no issues with mine at all. I've used it frequently since I bought it last year. I set it going while I'm at work so that it's ready for when I get home. Steak takes 1 minute it the pan and it's done.
I've also had 2 different routers in that time and it has worked with both.

Mine has never worked and I've given up chasing their customer service. They take ages to reply and need to be chased each time, truly shocking company. Even delivered it the day after Boxing Day - it was a Christmas present that I had ordered in November! They promised my delivery on-time but didn't even ship it express when they found the stock.

ive just done some searching about the claimed wifi issues, and it seems the anova doesnt like 5ghz networks, and if your access point/router has dual band on the same SSID it can be an issue, so you need to either set up a new 2.4ghz network, or change your SSID to something different
been wanting one for ages now, so seriously considering getting one at this price)

Trust me, I've been deploying WiFi networks commercially since 1999, I know how they work. I created a dedicated 2.4GHz network for this, even turned off 5GHz completely, just doesn't work.
The phone app is rubbish, Play store reviews will confirm, and now also requires authentication for no reason at all - even if you have a the Bluetooth model that isn't internet connected.
As a standalone device, to keep water at a fixed temperature, it works OK - but without the app you can't even set a timer. I've now restored to using a separate stopwatch as the app is so poor.
It's a nicely built product, looked nice in the box, but I really can't ever recommend anybody spends a single penny with this firm - the service and support is that bad. All they ever so is tell you to email support, who don't reply. I approached them on Twitter and they sent me some DMs then told me to email support. I approached them on Facebook, told them support doesn't reply, they told me to email support. Seriously, you couldn't make it up.
Buy one if you wish, just hope your delivery arrives and you get one that works. If it doesn't, you'll need all the luck in the world getting the problem resolved.

It comes to something when you have to tweak your router settings to cook a steak.

anyone know the difference in the new model? google links arent coming up with much useful at a glance
that just describes the features of the $99 bluetooth only model though, it doesnt tell you anything about whats new with the $199 wifi model (does it?)
i want wifi so i can control it remotely whilst at work (ie trigger it cooking a few hours before i come home), but does the new $199 model have anything thats worth the extra £80 or so from this older model? (im guessing no!)

No. It's a bluetooth + wifi controlled heating element. They will do exactly the same job.
That's exactly what I do. Set a quick reminder to turn the cooker on say at 4pm then let it do it's magic. I found it doesn't make a great deal of difference in taste if the steak/chicken/pork is frozen. So I put mine in the bath, frozen in the morning. You can't overcook the meat so just add extra time. I also use the Joule app to check cooking times. as that has times for frozen food.
