One reviewer pointed out that this lacks a recipe book for steaming food. Frankly, this is not a big deal at all. Anyone with a google search engine can pull up millions of recipes. It does come with a simple and useful guide about how long a variety of veggies take to cook, which brings me to my next point: This unit cooks and steams each food so evenly and well that I could never go back to the old pot of boiling water and one of those mess thingys, which is what I used to use until I got fed up.
I cannot recommend this steamer enough. It is a life changer. You will use it, use it often, and get a lot of health benefits in doing so. In fact, I think I might even get another one for work, so I can steam my lunches.
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.
Cooks anything from tamales to you dinner vegetables perfectly.
I just purchased a stove top steamer pot. So a good suggestion is to get a stove top steamer, which works on the exact same principle cooks incredibly well but you do not have to deal with the possibility of it ever breaking down.
Top reviews from other countries
Otherwise it looked like a decent purchase but it was either faulty or unsuitable for the use in UK power network.
It is rated at120Volts and not the 230/40Volts we us in the UK.
Comes with a two pin American (moulded) plug. If you were to remove this to put a three pin plug on you invalidate your warranty and would be dangerous!!!!
