This review is from: Tefal Invent VC101616 3 Tier Food Steamer, 9 Litre, Black and Chrome (Kitchen & Home)
I’ve had Tefal steamers for many years, and a big fan – but not of this steamer. My thoughts are: basket 1 does not fit quickly and well onto the base and it requires a “click” to fix into position, the baskets (in comparison to my previous machines) are made of a lesser quality plastic and with the “click” action required, could break easily. As there is no outside refill system, this creates a problem when the food is cooking and the machine is steaming and very hot, and trying to balance the baskets on the drip tray whilst filling the water reserve is dangerous. Then you again had to try and locate the “click” from basket to base. The machine is also much slower than my previous machines – they had the booster buttons. My recommendation would still be to buy Tefal – just not this model.

a bit pricy for a steamer, but does the job well used on a nearly daily basis looks tidy in the corner of our kitchen work top, it compares, well with previous tefal steamers we have bought if you want a good job well done go for it!

|It’s a steamer!,
This is a good value steamer that does what it’s made for!
The keep warm feature can cause you to overcook your veggies, so best not used for any length of time.
The 3 stacking units neatly fit inside each other when stored away, so takes up little space.
Quality product, no complaints at all and is my second Tefal veggie steamer.
