Imagine seeing that message and buying another product from them.

“It’s time to artificially create waste. Don’t worry, you won’t see this message again. Our new cookers are designed to not last 10 years.”

100%. They've just guaranteed that the sous vide unit that I have now is the last Anova product I will ever buy.

That notice doesn't even say there is a $2/mo option. App just won't work at all.

Imagine Goodyear 500 tires!...for just 30 bucks a month you too can get the most inexpensive tires of all. 500 mile tires!. After 500 miles they don't spin or hold air so we recommend setting your odometer properly.
