You can control it through voice commands with the help of these voice controllers. It also provides a Wi-Fi connection.

Sansaire, on the other hand, does not integrate with any voice control system. It also does not have a Wi-Fi connection. It can connect to Wi-Fi with the help of Sansaire Delta but you will have to buy it separately. You can only control this device through its buttons manually.

You just need to choose the recipe, adjust the settings according to that and switch it on to make it work.

Unfortunately, Sansaire only offers a manual control option. It has no Wi-Fi connection facility yet which is why you cannot use the device remotely through the app. This is one reason why we feel that Anova gets the edge over Sansaire.

3. Heat Power

In terms of heat power, Sansaire wins over Anova. It’s heating power is 1100 W while Anova’s heating power is 800 W. This means that Sansaire heats faster than Anova.It is a stronger sous vide machine. So, if you are looking for a fast smart cooker than Sansair would be your choice.
