Opinions from the Tefal VC 1301 Minicompact
Yandex.Market data
Advantages:
Low price, compactness. There is a bowl for rice (inexpensive models do not always have it). Odorless plastic. The baskets are easy to clean. After using a double boiler with baskets, it fits compactly (there is a picture in the instructions), takes up little space in the cabinet.
Disadvantages:
Well, okay, the lack of an on / off button on the case may be a disadvantage. To turn off the steamer, you must pull out the cord.
Comment:
I just needed a small steamer. The instructions say that it is designed for 2 people. But there are three baskets, it will feed three too :) There is no timer, so what, I don't want to pay almost twice because of its presence.

Advantages:
takes up little storage space. there are no unnecessary gadgets, bells and whistles for which the manufacturer piles up the price.
Disadvantages:
not identified.
Comment:
the aquatimer is working. turns off automatically when the water level is low, giving a nasty sound, which is also a plus because more chances to react to it and unplug the device

Advantages:
1) The quality of the plastic is odorless; 2) Sufficient volume of the condensate bowl, even if more water accumulates there than calculated, it will begin to overflow into the evaporator bowl; 3) Compact size.
Disadvantages:
The baskets are not interchangeable, this is done for the sake of being able to place them in one another during storage. In practice, arrange the food correctly and everything will be cooked as it should.
Comment:
Initially, I hoped to buy another model with a higher power, but it turned out that the power of 650 W is quite enough, even for cooking with full filling of all three tiers. The aquatimer works great, automatically turns off the heater, which, by the way, has a rubber anti-corrosion coating.

Advantages:
Fully automatic. Pour the required amount of water and go. The water evaporates - the device turns off, does not burn: -) (beeps). 3 tiers, a bowl for rice. Convenient, takes up little space. Easy to clean. Starts to cook quite quickly. taste different from that on gas.
Disadvantages:
The sound signal is not very pleasant, but on the other hand you can hear it. The instructions are in pictures, but you can catch up with everything. The wire would be bigger.
Comment:
Maybe someone is not comfortable that there are no knobs and a timer, so for me there are fewer buttons, fewer problems. I filled in water, turned it on and that's it.

Advantages:
- Everything soars and cooks perfectly =) - It hides very compactly.
Disadvantages:
No. - Over time, we realized that there was not enough timer to turn on and off. - It is a pity that there is no automatic shutdown in the absence of water. But when they bought, they knew that cooking could and what not, so there were no complaints.
Comment:
Has been working great for 3 years. Sometimes you want to put on cooking and go somewhere for an hour, but no, you have to wait and turn it off. We cleaned the heater 2 times during this time (maybe out of laziness, but it didn't affect the work). - I love to warm up food in it (About 1 liter of soup will warm up in 10 minutes - we use separately purchased containers, which just came up along HxWxD). It tastes much better from the stove or from the steamer than after the microwave. - The water in the pan after cooking is very cool to use as a broth, to cook porridge on it. Recommended, cooks, soars! IN EVERY OCCASION ABOUT RICE (and then people are swearing ...) !!! Rice needs to be poured with water, and then it will be cooked in a double boiler ... And not just pour it into a box and put it dry ... After 25 minutes, 200 grams is ready.

Advantages:
-Compactness! -Quality -Price
Disadvantages:
- not a very pleasant sound signal)) - there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull the plug out of the socket.
Comment:
A wonderful steamer, everything is prepared perfectly, the steamer washes without problems. Everything is delicious, fast and simple !!!! I really like the taste of food in a double boiler, the food does not smell like plastic. Although many say it turns out not very tasty, you need to be able to cook, even in a double boiler. There is no heaviness in the stomach after such food. Great thing in the kitchen. Of the minuses, one can only note a not very pleasant sound signal)), there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull out the plug from the socket and the mesh is the bottom of the bowl, sometimes food is clogged there. But in the dishwasher, everything is perfectly washed, so it doesn't matter.

Advantages:
Compactness !!! Lack of unnecessary buttons, knobs, etc.
Comment:
I have been using this steamer for 1.5 years. Everything suits me! The sound is not pleasant, of course, but it is definitely clear that it worked) At the moment I use more for sterilizing baby bottles, nipples, etc. It takes up little space, which is very important in my small kitchen !!! It is convenient to store, as the tiers fold into each other!

Advantages:
The price is small.
Disadvantages:
There is no timer. Small bowl for rice.
Comment:
I like it, it is convenient. in addition to the timer, there is protection against lack of water - the thermostat is activated. The rice bowl could have been bigger. I put in addition a second faience. And the holes are normal, mediocre, it is convenient to wash, but it could have been more, then it would be even more convenient to wash.

Advantages:
The steamer performs all the necessary tasks. The steamer produces amazingly tasty and healthy food for the whole family. The steamer is comfortable and compact. The absence of a timer is perhaps a plus, because there is nothing to break, as I heard that the timer adjustment sometimes fails even in expensive devices. I am very pleased with the purchase and have already managed to give the same to my mother for her birthday.
Disadvantages:
There are no disadvantages.
