Still haven't received an email confirmation after the switch. These guys don't seem to move fast.

Damn... I could have sworn it said this October back when I pre-ordered...
Edit: just went to the site and looked...
Apparently, it was delayed on 22 September.
Double edit: damn it... I was excited to get it this month...
You should have received an email about the delay to next year and they gave you the option to wait, get the BT version now or cancel your order.

I did not...
I was even in chat with customer service on the 16th of September to change my shipping address. The customer service rep didn't say a word about a delay...
I guess they just assume everyone has gotten the email by now... You should be able to find the form to fill out on their website wrt your decision.

Me either. Hopefully soon. I really thought I'd be enjoying sous vide and home this month.

I contacted customer support again. They gave me a link. I requested the Bluetooth. It's a gift... So waiting until next year wasn't an option...

Yep, just came to post the same thing. Got the e-mail an hour ago. Should arrive between the 10th and the 20th. Shipping details should be e-mailed in the next few days.

Still thinking about whether or not I want to switch to the BT.
I think having that multistep could be worth having and I'm not in a huge rush so I guess I could wait another half of a year, as long as it's not delayed again? But if it ends up not being worth it, and I could have used the BT just as well now...

I got my email about the BT being on the way about the same time as the others. I responded to the survey right when the email came out.

...hate me...
No, I just got some 4 whole chicken breasts with bone and skin, which unfortunately I couldn't find unflavoured, washed the spicy stuff off as much as I could (still left some flavour on, which was ok), salted them and sous-vide them straight at 63.5ºC (146F) for 2-3 hours.
I'm chasing a bit that blandness with batch cooking. Then I have chicken to use with pasta, salad, rice, noodles, etc, and can flavour that up on the spot depending on what I want.
I'll definitely try different stuff as I go along. But seems pretty hard to mess up. Really, that moist and texture alone bring out the best from the meat's own flavour. Maybe it can get boring after a while, but it was tasty.

Me too. ETA is the 20th. I'm going to buy some meat this weekend to give this baby a whirl. My wife is very excited about being able to do onsen eggs at home as well.

Wait, we should have gotten an email? I ordered the $60 one months back with the tentative date of October and haven't seen anything since.
Maybe I should email them.

Got my substitute today. Anybody else have the green tab from the protective film rub off? I've got a green smudge on the front of mine from it that doesn't seem to want to come off. It doesn't obscure the display or anything, so it's not a huge deal, but it is a bit of a cosmetic defect.

Did anyone's substitute come in... less than stellar condition? The box is practically melting in my hand and it feels like it was thrown in the mud and left there for weeks...
The FedEx box they shipped it in was dry and in perfect condition mind you, so they had to put it in that way.
The device itself looks nice, but no way I'm touching it with a 10 foot pole given the condition of what it was inside lol.

That's a big WTF, my dude. Gross. Definitely get in contact with them.
Anyone choose the Bluetooth when the email was first sent out and has still not received a reply?

Wow. Congrats on the black mold introduced to your home?

Yeah. When I took the top picture I figured it was just dirt, but then it became apparent that something went pretty freaking awry during the process. I was half afraid a rat was going to be in it. I sent an email. Trying to be nice and handle it like a professional and not put them on blast, though it's hard after running out to buy steaks when I saw the package on my doorstep this morning...

Mine looked like a retail unit. What the hell did they do to yours?
Do not keep that inside the house.

Got mine, and made an awesome steak. My only complaint is the damn thing is crazy long, so you'll need a tall container to cook it in. I hate wasting that much water. Any reasonable recommendations?

I received mine yesterday. Came in great condition, sorry about what happened to the one above! Haven't had a chance to try it out yet, probably will make something good on Sunday with it though.

A friend uses a rectangular clear container. I'm going to try to pick one up but for now I'm just using a tall pot:
He also cut a hole in the lid of the container where the Anova sits so that he can cap it off, presumably to save a little in heating costs.
