The good news: After owner pushback, Anova cancelled its plan to drop older cookers and promised to support all of them. Its owner Electrolux is one of the biggest appliance makers.
The bad news: Anova added an app fee for new users in 2024 and was ready to cut off cookers that were about ten years old, which shows how easily app features can change.
