In this guide
Anova sells the Precision Oven 2.0 at CA$1,599 in Canada, listed as in stock on 2026-10-20 with free shipping and taxes calculated at checkout. The cabinet is 22.9 inches wide, 14.1 high and 20 deep, the cavity is 1.2 cubic feet, and the machine weighs 51.8 pounds.
CA$1,599 buys a countertop oven that steams. That capability separates it from a toaster oven and from the range. Everything else in the box, from twelve modes to a camera, is a way of using steam and moving air. Whether a household uses wet heat regularly enough to justify giving up the counter is the test.
Our verdict
Buy the CA$1,599 Precision Oven 2.0 if steam and precise low temperatures are weekly work and the counter can spare 22.9 by 20 inches. For volume, the range stays.
- A good fit for
- A kitchen with a range already, where bread, vegetables and custards get cooked with wet heat and one counter can be given to a single machine.
- We would skip it if
- Holiday birds for a crowd, layer cakes by the dozen, or guided cooking with no Premium subscription.
Reasons to consider it
- Steam runs from 0 to 100 percent while the element holds anywhere between 77 and 482 °F, which a conventional range cannot do.
- Sous vide mode is specified within ±0.7 °F, with a wet-bulb sensor, a food probe and two ambient sensors behind the controller.
- Twelve modes share one 1.2 cu ft cavity, so air frying, proofing and a water bath stop taking three machines and three outlets.
- Anova sells it with 100 days for returns and a two-year warranty.
The compromises
- Guided programs, food recognition, recipe conversion, the oven recipes and the camera's livestream sit behind Premium; the Canadian price for it is not stated on the product page.
- 1,800 W at 120 V is 15 A, more than the 12 A a 15 A circuit should carry continuously; Anova recommends a dedicated circuit.
- The cavity is 10 inches tall and takes pans to 12 by 15 inches, so a half-sheet pan does not fit and a big bird is a squeeze.
- 51.8 lb, 22.9 inches wide, a 2-inch gap on all sides and 4 above, and Anova does not recommend installing it in a cabinet.
What we have not verified: Anova publishes no service life for the steam boiler and its seals. The Premium subscription is priced in US dollars on the pages this site read, so the Canadian charge is unconfirmed, and a subscription can be repriced.
The things in this guide
A closer look at the products, who they may suit, and what to check before buying.
Precision Oven 2.0
0 to 100 percent steam, ±0.7 °F in sous vide mode, a wet-bulb sensor and a food probe in a 1.2 cu ft cavity that also air fries and proofs.
Before you buy: Premium is a subscription, 1,800 W wants a dedicated circuit, and a 10-inch cavity rules out half-sheet pans.
Price checked October 20, 2026. Retailer prices can change.Steam in a box that used to be dry
A range bakes with hot air and whatever moisture the food gives off. The Precision Oven injects steam on demand, 0 to 100 percent, while the element holds a set temperature anywhere from 77 to 482 °F. Steam lets bread keep a soft crust long enough to spring and vegetables cook without drying at the edges.
A custard can be held at 180 °F without a water bath or a bag. That is the capability the price buys; the modes are ways of aiming it.
1.2 cubic feet, measured against a half-sheet pan
The interior is 16.4 inches wide, 10 high and 12.4 deep, and Anova lists pans up to 12 by 15 inches. A half-sheet pan does not fit, and that single measurement decides more dinners than any mode list.
The 51.8-pound cabinet needs 22.9 inches of counter width, a 2-inch gap on each side and 4 inches above. Anova does not recommend fitting it into a cabinet, so the counter space is not temporary.
Fifteen amps, 51.8 pounds, and where it can sit
1,800 W at 120 V works out to 15 A. A 15 A circuit is rated for 15 A but should not carry more than 12 A continuously, so this oven wants a 20 A circuit of its own, and Anova recommends a dedicated one.
In an older Canadian kitchen, that can mean an electrician on top of the oven. The alternative is a circuit that trips whenever the oven runs with another appliance on the same line.
Three machines it can retire
The math only works if the oven absorbs other jobs. A water bath is a circulator, a container, a lid and bags. An air fryer is another appliance with another cord. A proofing box is a third. Steam, moving air and a probe in one cavity replace all three, and the counter they free is the real return.
A household that only wants sous vide should buy a circulator; one that only wants air frying should buy a basket fryer. Neither costs anything like CA$1,599, and both store in a cupboard.
The kitchen where this oven is a mistake
Skip it for holiday birds for a crowd and layer cakes by the dozen; the cavity is too small and the range does the volume. Skip it if guided cooking is the attraction but the subscription is not acceptable, because the best modes sit behind it.
Buy it when steam and low, precise heat are weekly work, the counter can be given up, and a dedicated circuit is possible. At CA$1,599, that is the whole case.
