Consumer impact summary[edit | edit source]
The company attempted to perform a bait and switch on the consumers who purchased devices that provided free access to their app reversing course following backlash. In addition because they do not provide connectivity to their app via common models, requiring use of their servers they inadventenlty limit the usefull life of their products by how long they are willing to support them.
Incidents[edit | edit source]
Always-online Oven with cloud dependency[edit | edit source]
Instead of connecting locally through common models like Bluetooth or WiFi-based solutions such as mDNS/Bonjour, all app functionality requires that the Oven is connected through the Anova's Firebase instance.[citation needed]
Anova Oven App Subscription Model[edit | edit source]
In 2024 (notably, shortly prior to the release of the Anova Precision Oven 2) Anova announced that they would be switching the app to a subscription model. This meant that any previously created or used recipe programmes would now require a paid account to activate.
The company later partially back-tracked on this, by allowing existing owners of the Anova Precision Oven 1 to be grandfathered under the previously free model. New purchases of the Anova Precision Oven 1 or version 2 model will still be subject to the new subscription model.[1]
Anova Precision Oven 1 faulty connections in handle[edit | edit source]
Many Reddit users have reported that the oven's touch display can become unfunctional due to broken cables in the door handle.[2][3][4][5]
