Joanne Pomakis: Best steamer ever. Tired of plastic ones that crack. This works great and is sturdy.

S: This steamer is easy to use and fast enough. I can steam a whole chicken in 30mins. I use the timer function everyday. Easy to clean too.

cs: This is our 3rd steamer in 25+ years. Started with stove top steamers and then went through 2 Oster steamers which worked well ... had to repair one, but they lasted for years. This one is many steps above ... the stainless steamer baskets are the best ... the glass top too. NO PLASTIC touches the food.

A bonus is this steamer makes perfect hard-boiled eggs ... set it for 22 minutes then quench the eggs in cold water. They peel easily and the yokes are bright yellow.

BRBR: I love the fact that the steamer parts are made of metal with glass cover! Healthy and safe material for cooking or warming food at high heat like steam, which contrary to any plastic steamers. It boils water quickly, and for me having a ready warm meal in 7-10 min is very reasonable. I use it to soften dry or cold bread pita/submarine in 2-3 min, that is awesome. Parts are light weight and easy to mount, and I feel safe with the auto-shutoff feature when water level is low.

I do have few remarks/reservations though:
1) it has excellent container size 9.25 inch diameter, allowing my full size 8.75 inch diameter plate to fit in with no problem, but I would have much preferred to have it in oval shape (rather than circular), with the longer axis being larger at 1.25x ratio. This would have been more universal to fit in elongated plates, and simpler in handling plates/cookware (please don't make it in a smaller diameter!)
2) I dislike the fact that the screen has to stay illuminated reading OFF all the time when not in use. Either make it to auto turn off completely in few minutes after being not in use, or better, use that screen to display the time...

teresa: Update: We have now had this over two years. I can say it has held up well, we still love it and use it frequently!

I looked everywhere for a stainless steel food steamer to try to avoid having food touching plastic, hard to believe most of the steamers are plastic. I found this one and have been using it a few months now, it has performed well.

I like the multiple levels to allow for cooking more food at one time. I usually only steam vegetables, so I cannot comment how this does with things like fish. I can say that vegetables turn out well in this and the trays are easy to clean. I had read concerns about the knob detaching from the lid, so I am always careful when I remove the lid. So far, so good (knocking on wood). I also like the auto "stay warm" feature in the event you need this to sit a minute while the rest of your meal finishes cooking.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is having to wash the base, as this is also where the electrical plug goes in so you have to be really careful. And you do have to wash it, as food particles from the trays fall down below as things are cooking. I am just careful to avoid getting water in the...

kai: Secura claimed they did not recognize the Amazon seller as an authorized seller, and the manufacturer warranty does not cover unauthorized sellers. I then contacted the seller. The seller said return period had expired, and they could no longer issue a return/refund/replacement.

Terry mcgeorge: Absolutely Delicious…………..In 30 minutes, all in the steamer, my chicken breasts came out tender and juicy, and my yams and vegetables were cooked to perfection.

Jack11615: Right out of the box this was an impressive appliance, shiny retro-chic with seamless, smoothly molded stainless steel surfaces, clear controls, a brilliant display … everything that my last four plastic steamers were not! “Five Stars,” I felt sure.

Then when I started using it, I began to notice issues - a strangely wobbly knob on the otherwise well made glass lid, an unsettling amount of steam sometimes escaping around the edges of the metal food trays, the absence of a water level indicator or a condensation tray, the lack of any way to add water during steaming - so my enthusiasm deflated a bit. When the lid knob actually fell off during my third use, I was less surprised than I wanted to be … though fortunately the old first-aid still works, stuffing the guide hole with lengths of wooden match or toothpick and driving the self-tapping screw (essentially wood screw) back in.

Controls and displays turn out to be this steamer’s strongest attribute. They are intuitive, positive, and very easy to select. The timer display is bright and clear from almost any angle. The “delay timer” is surprisingly useful, and the “keep warm”...
