Advantages:
Metal bowls.
Disadvantages:
Very quiet end of cooking buzzer. You can only hear it in silence.
Comment:
It was bought as a replacement for a junk old multicooker and a miracle grill pan. After reading a bunch of reviews, I realized that there is nothing suitable for me in the segment up to 5,000 rubles. I started looking at the sites of chain stores and came across a share price of 5400. Prepayment by card and cashback reduced the cost a little. Now to the point. The construction is durable from stainless steel and the stench will not be plastic. In the reviews, many complain about this. The bottom of the baskets is not removable and easy to clean. There are handles. You won't burn your hands. They also fit one into the other, but compact storage will not work. Management of the simplest 1 timer. Topping up is. Boils quickly. Power 900 watts. The rice container is tiny. Very happy with the purchase. I hope it will last a long time.

Advantages:
1) Metal bowls. 3) Glass lid (Probably, even if you break it, you can buy a standard one from the pan) (See. Comment) 3) The body is not made of plastic, but of low pressure polyethylene. That is, it will not crack from falling, it is more difficult to scratch it. 4) Soft wire, almost like silicone (see comment) 5) It is possible to add water (see comment)
Disadvantages:
1) Bowls have very large holes, approx. 4 mm. (SEE Commentary) 2) Mockingly small cereal container. (SEE Commentary) 3) There is no keep warm function after cooking. (See comment)
Comment:
To begin with, I will say that at home there is also a previous model of this Tefal VC 1017 steamer, with oval thickets, which works to this day, so the review-comparison will be with it. And now point by point (Pros) 1) Glass lid - the previous model had a thin plexiglass lid. It looks very fragile and not reliable, and if it is split, it cannot be repeated in nature. Glass cover 2) Soft wire - in the previous model the wire is very hard 3) It is possible to add water - in the previous model this is not present, which is not often, but creates inconvenience. (Cons) 1) Bowls have very large holes, about 4-4.5 mm - Bowls have very large holes, about 4 mm - in the previous model, the holes were 3-3.5 mm. In my opinion, this is not enough 2) Mockingly small container for cereals. - it's about the size of a baby saucer. In the old version, it was with a large bowl of soup. 3) There is no mode of maintaining the temperature after cooking. - The old version is. And I use it a lot.

Advantages:
The only model with steel bowls, I was looking for a very long time, since the quality of the plastic bowls is terrible, the paint at high temperatures leaves and is absorbed into food, minus the glass bowls, if they are cracked, then you simply will not order new ones, they are not available in the Tefal service center. cooks well, can be topped up with water, easy to clean and fold
Disadvantages:
The only drawback of the instruction for use is poor, there is no culinary booklet
Comment:
They sell only 3 stores, but the equipment is worth it, inexpensively and of high quality.

Disadvantages:
No
Comment:
I got a double boiler. I liked its compactness, it does not take up much space. The controls are simple, set the time and that's it. The bowls are easy to clean and made of stainless steel. You can cook rice. There is an auto shutdown. Healthy food is great value. Recommend!

Advantages:
Great product
Disadvantages:
No flaws
Comment:
I bought it and I'm not overjoyed. I tried different steamers, this turned out to be the best and most convenient. I liked immediately that the tiers are metal. Automatic shutdown. And most importantly, cooking in it is a pleasure.

Advantages:
1. Easier to wash metal pans (compared to plastic ones). It's important for me. 2. The intermediate plate (between the heated bowl and the first saucepan) successfully collects fat from the saucepans, preventing it from getting into the heating bowl. Although it is more difficult to wash this plate, it is out of place. 3. Power of 860-900 watts allows you to cook faster than Smile 1701 (I can compare).
Disadvantages:
For one person, even very hungry, too big. Suitable for a family of two or three.
Comment:
Since I'm tired of washing plastic steamers (Smile 1701), this one suits me. A steamer is like a toothbrush, like a sponge for washing your body or dishes. It is imperative to change.

Advantages:
Metal bowls, simplicity, refillable
Disadvantages:
Not easy to clean, no cereal cup, no instructions
Comment:
My first double boiler. I haven't tried so many dishes, but I can say that with the skillful use of recipes, steaming gives quite tasty dishes. I had worse expectations, I bought it due to problems with the gastrointestinal tract. Now for this steamer. The end signal can be heard only while in the kitchen, but this is a common thing and does not bother me. And so I know when to approach. With metal containers and a heavy glass lid, everything looks sturdy. Because of this, I rejected flimsy plastic counterparts. However, after meat dishes, washing by hand is not as easy as a regular saucepan. A container for draining condensation would not hurt to make a larger one. Bowls for cereals can be considered not, although it is not very clear whether boiled cereals are so different from steam ones. The instruction in the form of pictures is inconvenient, although in general everything is simple there. What people do not like about the size of the holes, I did not understand. In general, I am satisfied with the purchase. I hope it will last for a long time.
