Whenever my Anova’s eventually wear out I can’t see switching to a Joule…that requirement for Bluetooth connectivity to a phone, and requiring use of an app for basic operation is pretty much a deal breaker for me. There are too many reports of people having connectivity issues with their Joules for me to get a “warm fuzzy” feeling towards it! But that’s just my take on it. For those that don’t mind that dependency I hear it is a quality unit.
