Tefal VC 1301 Minicompact

Advantages: - Everything is great soars-cooks =)
- Very compact concealed.

Disadvantages: Not.
- Over time, we realized that there was not enough timer to turn on and off.
- It is a pity that there is no auto-shutdown in the absence of water.
But when they bought, they knew that cooking could and did not, so there were no complaints.

Comment: Works fine for 3 years. Sometimes you want to put the cook and go somewhere for an hour, but no, you have to wait and turn it off. They cleaned the heater 2 times during this time (maybe out of laziness, but it did not affect the work).
- I like to heat food in it (About 1l of soup will warm in 10 minutes - we use separately purchased containers that just come up on VhShhG). From the stove or steamer much tastier than after a microwave.
- The water in the pan after cooking is very great to use as a broth, cook porridge on it.
Recommended, cooks, soars!
FOR ANY CASE ABOUT RICE (and then people swear ...) !!! Rice should be poured with water, and then it will cook in a double boiler ... And not just poured into a box and set dry ... After 25 minutes, 200 grams are ready.

Advantages: Compactness !!! No extra buttons, pens, etc.

Comment: I use this double boiler for 1.5 years. Everything suits me! The sound is not pleasant of course, but it’s definitely clear that it worked. At the moment I’m using more to sterilize baby bottles, nipples, etc. It takes up little space, which is very important in my small-sized kitchen !!! It is convenient to store, as the tiers fold into each other!

Advantages: -Compact!
-Quality
-Price

Disadvantages: - not very nice beep))
- there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull the plug out of the socket.

Comment: Great steamer, everything is cooked perfectly, the steamer is washed without problems. Everything is tasty, fast and easy !!!! I really like the taste of food in a double boiler, the products do not smell of plastic. Although many say it does not work very well, you must be able to cook, even in a double boiler. No heaviness in the stomach after such food. Great thing in the kitchen.
Of the minuses, you can only note a not very pleasant sound signal)), there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull out the plug from the outlet and the reticulum - the bottom of the bowl, sometimes food gets clogged there. But in the dishwasher everything is perfectly washed, so it does not matter.

Advantages: 1) Plastic quality, no odor;
2) A sufficient volume of the condensate bowl, even if there is more accumulated water accumulated there, it will start to overflow into the evaporator bowl;
3) Compact size.

Disadvantages: The baskets are not interchangeable, this is done to ensure that during storage they can be placed one in another. In practice, arrange the products correctly and everything will be prepared as it should.

Comment: Initially, I relied on buying another model with more power. But it turned out that the power of 650 W is quite enough, even for cooking with full filling of all three tiers.
Aquaimer works fine, automatically turns off the heater, which, by the way, has a rubber anti-corrosion coating.

Advantages: Compactness, good workmanship (high-quality plastic, does not smell), lack of unnecessary functions.

Disadvantages: No power switch.

Comment: Good model, price-quality ratio 100%

Advantages: Low price, compactness.
There is a cup for rice (in inexpensive models it is not always there). Plastic, odorless. Baskets are easy to clean. After use, the double boiler with baskets fits snugly (there is a picture in the instructions), takes up little space in the closet.

Disadvantages: Well, the minus may be the absence of the on / off button on the case. To disable the double boiler, you need to pull the cord.

Comment: I just needed a small steamer. The manual says that it is designed for 2 people. But there are three baskets, it is enough to feed and three :)
No timer, so what, I do not want to overpay almost doubled due to its availability.

Advantages: takes up little storage space.
There are no unnecessary elektrobambasov-frills
for which the manufacturer piles on the price.

Disadvantages: not identified.

Comment: aquaytimer works.
turns off automatically at a low water level giving a nasty sound, which is also a plus since more chance to respond to it and pull the device out of the network

Advantages: Fully automatic. Pour the required amount of water and go. The water evaporates — the appliance turns off, does not burn: -) (beeps) .3 tiers, a bowl for rice. The taste is different from the one on gas.

Disadvantages: The sound signal is not very pleasant, but on the other hand you can hear it. The instruction is in pictures, but you can catch up with it so that where. The wire would be more.

Comment: Maybe someone is not comfortable that there are no knobs and a timer, so for me there are fewer buttons, fewer problems. I poured water, turned on everything.
