From reading reviews online, I believe a new or updated model is currently being released with fixes related to the tray, water tank, and gasket. Are these changes reflected in a model ID, or is there any way to ensure I purchase the new (or updated) version?

Hello! There is only one model of the APO. There have been updates along the way, but there is no change in the model/version

Along the way firmware software updates, right?

Yes, as well as as hardware updates to the tank, evaporation plate, and tank cover!

Thanks for the clarification. I still have the same question, however. How do I ensure that I purchase a box that contains an Anova Precision Oven that has all of the updates you mentioned?
