Anova Precision Oven 2.0 at $999: What the Steam Oven Offers

The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 is a countertop combi oven built around controlled steam, convection heat and connected cooking tools. Anova listed it at a sale price of $999 in the United States on September 27, 2026, against a regular price of $1,299, so buyers should confirm the current price before ordering.

Its twelve modes cover sous vide, dry sous vide, convection bake, steam bake, air fry, steam roast, bake, broil, steam, proof, dehydrate and manual cooking. The practical appeal is not the mode count alone, but the ability to combine humidity and heat in one countertop appliance.

Anova specifies a 38 litre interior, equal to 1.2 cubic feet, with space for pans up to 12 by 15 inches. The exterior measures 22.9 inches wide, 14.1 inches high and 20 inches deep, and the oven weighs 51.8 pounds, so it needs a permanent and sturdy counter position.

The listed temperature range reaches 250 degrees Celsius, or 482 degrees Fahrenheit, while steam can be set from zero to 100 percent. Two ambient sensors, a wet bulb sensor, a food probe and a steam boiler sensor provide the measurement system behind its precision controls.

A five inch touch display, dual band wireless connectivity and an internal camera support the connected features. The camera can identify some foods and suggest cooking options, while the app can monitor and control cooks remotely.

Not every connected feature is included without an ongoing subscription. Manual controls remain available without wireless access, but guided cooking, recipe conversion, smart food detection and some remote tools are part of Anova’s premium service, an important ownership cost to consider.

The oven draws up to 1,800 watts from a standard United States circuit, although Anova recommends a dedicated circuit to reduce the risk of tripping an outlet. It also requires at least two inches of clearance on every side and four inches above, and it is not designed for installation inside a cabinet.

This model makes the most sense for serious bread bakers, steam cooking enthusiasts and cooks who will use its humidity control regularly. Its broad capability can replace several smaller appliances, but the price, weight, counter depth and subscription split make it a specialist purchase rather than an automatic upgrade for every kitchen.
