The New Anova Precision Cooker Oven 2.0 Brings the Future of Cooking to Countertops Nationwide

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Anova Culinary, a subsidiary of Electrolux (ELUX-B) and a leading provider of sous vide devices with over 100 million sous vide cooks and provider of the best-selling sous vide tool of all time, announced today the official launch of the Anova Precision® Oven 2.0, a connected combi oven which features a convection fan, steam injection, an integrated temperature probe, and smart camera Guided Cooking to help home cooks achieve pitch perfect dishes every time. This do-it-all oven can steam, air fry, dehydrate, broil, sous vide, proof, toast, roast, defrost, and bake. With an MSRP of $1199.00, the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 is now available on Anova’s website and in major retailers in early 2025.

The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 brings the future of cooking to home cooks with sleek design and enhanced technology.

The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 blends the restaurant-level versatility of a traditional combi oven with enhanced technology, including Anova Intelligence-powered Guided Cooking – a smart camera that can sense what home cooks are preparing and automatically adjusts the oven controls for the best cook possible every time. Set at an affordable price point, the Precision Oven 2.0 is an upgrade to Anova’s industry-first combi oven designed specifically for home cooks, the Anova Precision Oven 1.0, which launched in 2020. The new model features enhanced steam injection, upgraded bottom heating elements, one-touch Cook Mode on the oven interface to streamline prep time, and the high-definition camera technology in order to offer a precise, innovative countertop oven suitable for any home kitchen.

“Homing in on the science behind cooking and creating elevated meals at home is one of our true passions at Anova and we are thrilled to introduce the Precision Oven 2.0, an innovation that is truly more than an oven but an overall confidence boost in the kitchen,” said CEO and Co-Founder, Stephen Svajian. “Our Anova food nerd community knows that cooking can be, and should be, more than a task on a to-do list and that every meal is a chance to ignite creativity and explore new possibilities. With the technology behind the Anova Precision Oven 2.0, home cooks can achieve professional chef results right in their own kitchens and our team continues to help break barriers in home cooking with our combi-oven technology that is easy to use and creates limitless meal options.”

Some key features of the Anova Precision® Cooker Oven 2.0 include:

Anova Intelligence: Changing the future of food, Anova Intelligence can instantly identify food placed in the Oven and suggest the best cooking methods for specific items. Anova Intelligence adds an extra safety measure by detecting when there is food in the Oven and alerting users if they have forgotten to turn the oven off. The feature can also scan the back of frozen food bags or a full recipe to automatically choose the right cook settings. Soon-to-be-released features include preventing cooking mistakes, sending cooks cleaning reminders, optimizing cooking settings, and learning specific user preferences.Delicious Potential: With the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 the cook options are seemingly limitless so users can cut down on kitchen clutter while exploring new cooking methods at home. The countertop wonder’s innovative technology allows home cooks to unlock a variety of cooking options including bathless, bagless sous viding; steam-injected baking & roasting; bread & dough proofing; air frying for quick crisping; broiling for high-heat surface cooking; dehydrating fruits or meats; and more.Tight Temperatures: Unlike regular countertop ovens, the Anova Precision Oven 2.0 utilizes three temperature sensors, a sophisticated combination of PID (Proportional Integral Derivative) control loops, and a beefy onboard microprocessor to control heating. Long story short: the Oven can maintain temperatures as tightly as +/- 0.5°F of the set point where other countertop ovens use a single thermostat that only measures the air temperature in the oven cavity, allowing for variables of up to 25 degrees outside of the target temperature and potentially ruining a home cook’s entire dish.Full Steam Ahead: The Anova Precision Oven 2.0 allows cooks to add steam or control the specific relative humidity inside the oven while things cook, allowing things to get steamy without a pot of water heating up on the stove. This capability also creates more precise cooking experiences and can create more tender and delicious meals by preserving the food’s moisture.App Connectivity: Anova knows any home cook can be a food nerd and to help Anova users find recipes and learn new cooking tricks, Anova offers sous vide and combi oven recipes via subscription service for the low cost of $1.99 per month or $9.99 annually. With the app, cooks can also check on their dishes live and monitor food remotely in real time.

Following the launch of the Anova  Precision® Cooker Mini in October 2024, Anova’s Precision® Oven 2.0  joins the company’s award-winning product line that includes sous vide tools, vacuum sealers, and more. Anova’s products are available via the company website and across major retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.

LEAP Group Relaunches HumanView, a Growth Intelligence System Built to Explain Why Customers Behave the Way They Do

Published

By

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

LEAP Group is a boutique marketing agency holding company with offices in Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Chicago. Guided by the belief that brands should “Market Less. Matter More.,” LEAP gives clients access to specialized experts across its entire network. Learn more at leapgroupnetwork.com.

STEPHEN A. SMITH ADDRESSES WHITE HOUSE DINNER ATTENDANCE, REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO HBCUs AND PROTECTING CORPORATE INVESTMENT IN BLACK EDUCATION

Published

By

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
