Nomiku Wifi Initial Impressions

Hey all, I haven't heard too much chatter about this device and I know a lot of people are quite upset with the delays and rather slow output of devices. I thought I would at least write a quick initial impression of the device, with a more detailed review to follow in the coming days hopefully.

Exterior:

+Water level max and min fill lines are much farther apart, this one of my biggest complaints about the original nomiku

+Larger screen

+Adjustment knob feels much better than nomiku v1

+No external power brick to worry about

-Device is slightly more plasticy than before with the pump and heater being encased in plastic

Operation

+Device is much quieter than nomiku V1, it is actually quite a large difference

+Wifi seems to work well, setup with relative ease and had push notifications on chrome

+Countdown/up timer on device is a big help with most cooks

-The app and website could be built a bit nicer for ease in use and operation, something just doesn't feel super smooth about it.

Comments:

I have only used it for one cook so far, although I mean its a water circulator not too much has changed in the general operation, seems to heat up at least as fast as the original nomiku although again I will perform more tests when I have time.

The app and website do not have the same level of polish nor is it as intuitive as their anova counterpart, I have been told this is expected to change in the coming months and by no means is it bad, its just a less commercial style seeing as the recipes are crowdsourced and whatnot.

Overall I am very happy with my Nomiku, I know many backers and customers are anxiously awaiting theirs and there has been many delays but the device really is great.

Final note:

Nomiku did not ask nor pay me to post this review, I just noticed a large lack of info or reviews on the device.
