   Overall, I like it, and it’s built well, but it does have some problems. The design adds features that actually make it less usable. I bought this to replace an old Rival steamer that was simpler and much better designed.On the plus side, it heats up quickly, and having two tiers is convenient. Those are two areas where it is better than the old Rival.On the negative side… The control logic is poor. Yes, it has a timer and a computer. But that doesn’t provide any value, except to slow down use of the product. You have to press buttons once it’s plugged in to start it. The “warm” and “delay” features don’t make any sense and aren’t safe. You shouldn’t leave food sitting around waiting to cook in this thing, and why would you, as it heats up to steam in about 3 minutes. Likewise, you can’t safely leave cooked food in it without the steam running. To do that makes it an incubator, not a cooker.Next problem is also a bit safety related, in that the water container for the steam has inaccessible areas for the water level display that are impossible to mechanically clean. You can only rinse that out, indirectly, by repeatedly filling the bottom unit and emptying it. If you live in a mold prone area, this is going to be a problem. Water level sensing either shouldn’t be done, or it should be done without hidden areas for water to flow into.Next problem is that the food trays are difficult to clean because of all of the crevices and sharp corners. For vegetables that don’t leave much if any residue, this is fine. If you have a dishwasher, it’s fine. But I wouldn’t suggest purchasing this for meat or fish use unless you have a dishwasher. Simple flat trays with holes and little bumps would have been so much better. And easier to make. Just because you can build goofy things in cad doesn’t mean you should.Finally, the water container and the overall size is a bit small.All that said, now that the Rival isn’t made anymore, this is the best option for a countertop steamer that I’ve found. It’s marginally better than using a stainless or bamboo steamer over a pot, because it’s marginally more convenient and it saves a burner.

   Bought this to steam rice and thereby freeing up my pressure cooker to make meals (used pressure cooker for rice … I don’t like stove top rice … then would use the pressure cooker again for our main meal, e.g. Curry … which meant letting it cool a bit then cleaning between cooking the two).It’s easy to use and have had no issues with it.Water does condense out of the steamer while it’s running and leaves water on the counter underneath it … which has generally been my experience with steamers like this one. I just put the streamer on a dish towel while cooking and that has seemed to address the problem.I like being able to steam vegetables and rice at the same time … added bonus for me.It’s a little too big for me and my wife as we only need to cook for two. This steamer will cook enough rice for 6+ people. I wanted a smaller unit, but as the smaller units were about the same price I opted for this one.I work at home and my wife commutes … so I make meals. With this steamer and my pressure cooker, I can get a gourmet meal prepped, cooked, and on the table in about 25 minutes.It’s been a very positive experience … spending less time cooking (= more time with my wife) and eating healthier.

   Perfect for vegetables, seafood, and eggs.Especially eggs. I love boiled and deviled eggs, but peeling eggs might be my least favorite thing on earth. I don’t know how or why, but they peel so easily when you use this steamer.Also, steamed vegetables taste amazing using this.

   It’s easy peasy and makes eating veggies more appealing. I’m still a newbie and learning.

   It’s a great little steamer. I hope the plastic racks last longer than my last one.

   This is very easy to use, it cleans up very easily. This all stacks together so it is easy to keep track of. Does great job on the steaming of vegetables. This is a well built product and have bought one for my grandsons wife.

   Steaming vegetables is proven to save their nutrients & not destroy them during cooking. My husband & I watched a PBS show about where people live the longest. The takeaway was to “Eat mostly plants.” Rather than cook a single vegetable for dinner we usually include more than one & also steam sweet potatoes multiple times a week for our dogs. This streamer allows two veggies to be steamed at once. After the selected time is reached, it has the additional feature of switching to “warm”. I highly recommend this product.
