 Well thought design, but bad parts March 31, 2009

Read all the way to the end.
Tried 11 Oster's and 8 Black & Decker steamers over the past 2.5 years. Oster's electronics went out. B&D's plastic cracked in dishwasher and fell apart. We steam 2x per day fully loaded.
The Taylor made Biggest Loser Steamer so far exceeds both the others. It's still new - only 3 weeks of use - but it's design is obviously well thought through. Easy to read numbers on the timer, back-lit water level indicator, power on light easy to see across the kitchen. Nice colors and lip handles on water part means you don't have to wait for it to cool down to take apart. Plastic is thicker so we hope it won't crack in the dishwasher.
UPDATE: Less than 2 months of use, like a hot marbel dropped in cold water, the CLEAR plastic parts are shattering. Only the CLEAR plastic, NOT the GREEN plastic. Both are washed together in the dishwasher. AND the knob now turns only clockwise. It's jammed if we try to turn it counter-clockwise. Just ordered another black & decker which holds up the best.
I don't know how to reduce the # of stars, but now I give it a 1 star.
Looks like we're the biggest loser.
Best steamer-so far December 22, 2008

I use my vege steamer everyday, beginning with oatmeal and ending with veges & rice. This will be my fourth steamer in 2008. So far, it's the best one. It's a good size. The two containers are large enough to handle almost anything and the rice bowl is bigger than the Rival rice bowl I had. It's attractive. It actually looks good sitting on the counter. Adding water while cooking is easy to do. The handle for the lid is away from the steam vents and the timer dinger is loud enough. It's starts steaming almost immediately. Seriously-almost immediately. I love it. It's so much better than the two Oster's (one old and one brand new) and the Rival (brand new) that I've gone through this year. I would recommend this to anyone. So far. The Rival waited about a month before it quit working. I'll get back to you if this one goes kablooey.

I have decided that this is the greatest product that I have in my kitchen. It steams the best veggies and rice, I haven't tried hard boiled eggs yet, but it steams awsome shrimp and chicken, I have even put a roast in with potatos and carrotts, turned out great!!
Great steamer October 10, 2009
R. Carrington (Bronx, New York)
I always wanted a food steamer. I really didnt know which one to buy. THen I saw the biggest loser steamer and decided to try it. I cannot tell you how easy it is to use, how good the food taste and how much I enjoy steaming. This is one of those items that you buy and really utilize. I havent mastered the rice yet, but I will. The price is so reasonable. I recommend it highly.
