Our Verdict

Anova Precision Oven 2.0

CHEF iQ MiniOven

The CHEF iQ MiniOven is better overall than the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 for most people. It's much better for everyday toaster oven tasks like air frying and toasting, and it also reheats leftovers more effectively. It preheats much faster and takes up considerably less counter space, despite still having a roomy chamber and three rack positions. The Anova is the more specialized appliance; its larger cooking chamber gives you more room for larger dishes, and its better temperature stability makes it better for baking. It also has features the CHEF iQ lacks, including steam cooking and a built-in temperature probe, which make it better suited to things like combi cooking and sous vide.
