 Cooks ok but not stable September 20, 2008

The results with this steamer are good but I found it difficult to put together - the bases of each tier clip in and are difficult to position correctly. It didn't feel very stable to me and I felt that a small knock would dislodge the tiers - not a good idea with boiling water and steam. Capacity is good and you can just use how ever many layers you need. If you are prepared to put it somewhere out of anyone's way when in use then it is good for the price but I am so unhappy with the safety aspects that I shall be returning the steamer.
 Mixed feelings September 10, 2008
Rather disappointed with this steamer. I had a two tier steamer from the same manufacturer with which I have been delighted but it was getting past it's best after a few years of daily use so I decided when replacing it to upgrade to three tiers.
The new steamer is no way near as good as the old one, yes, it fits into a lot less space for putting away but in use it is a bit fiddly. I find it difficult to get the baskets positioned correctly so there is no leak of steam and it is not as robust as the old one either needing more delicate handling. I have found that after a few months of use the plastic is already starting to crack. I am disappointed as I said that this product is not as good as I had hoped with my previous experience of their products.

Tefal VC1000615 3 Tier Ultracompact Steamer Chrome Body
Compact and easily stored.
Used approximately 4-5 times - the top lid disintegrated into 2 parts - the lid and its holder parted company, and the holder cracked in one place - stuck it on with super glue but this did not last long at the temperatures needed for steaming - all in all a great disappointment - needs to be more robust and sturdy.

As somebody who has bought so many items for the kitchen and then ended up allowing them to collect dust due to non-use because they were the in thing at the time. I was a little dubious about purchasing yet another gadget which after a few months will get binned because I cant be asked to spend ages cleaning the damn thing after use.(I dont mind spending ages preparing the food, but cleaning???)
Well flatten my feet and call me Daffy This must be one of the easiest things to clean. I usually wash down the whole thing in minutes prior to eating. On that alone Im sold. Ill let the other reviewers inform you about how good it cooks.
GOOD LITTLE STEAMER... November 4, 2007

It does the job well but I do have reservations about the plastic parts in the steamer, they do feel a bit 'fragile' and I do worry that they might crack or snap if too much pressure is applied; for instance affixing the bases to the tiers, it does take a bit of 'fiddling'! It's ok otherwise and does do the job for which it is designed. I'd have reservations about cooking strong flavours ie smoked fish but then I'd have to give it a go and see. It cooks cous cous like a dream though and I can't wait to try rice!! I have since bought a stainless steel 3 tier steamer as well just to be on the safe side!! It's a good little gadget for the money and good value. Tefal is a brand I still feel I can trust.
