I ordered the Anova and am looking forward to trying it out.

For those of you who have a sous vide but no vacuum sealer, consider this. We buy a whole beef tenderloin from costco every few months, and I've learned how to slice and trim it. Then we vacuum seal them, and with some of the non-fatty scraps have enough left over for two stir fry's. The steaks turn out great and cost about 60% of the cost of cut steaks on the shelf, plus two free stir frys.

The vacuum sealer will pay for itself quickly. I've had mine for about 8 years now.

We also buy ground beef bulk, pork tenderloins, etc., and and the saved cost if you are willing to slice or portion out yourself then freeze it is actually really high.
