We get this question a lot.

If you’re thinking about purchasing an Anova but have no idea what kind of plug you need, we have a **new** [help desk article](https://support.anovaculinary.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004602946-Which-plug-type-do-I-need-) that covers it all. Other info in the article:

- Voltage
- Frequency
- Where you can buy it

Let me know if you have any questions about the article. Thanks!

Hi Alyssa

If you look at the US plug section there is a mistake. They have Wattage listed as 50Hz and 60Hz. Wattage is not measured in Hertz but Watts, like a 60W light bulb.

If you have Voltage and Watts you can calculate Amperes which is very useful.

For the other countries/regions this information has been omitted.

Please ask your engineer to update the chart.
