I have used mine for over 10 years cooking meals for my family, we really enjoy it. Everything works fine, nothing broken, all writing still on it. Great quality, excellent value for money. I wipe out the bottom and wash the trays in the sink or dish washer. pack it back in the box tidy and store in cupboard. It really comes down to how well you understand how to use it and how you look after your equipment.

I bought this steamer a while back. Works well. Steam veggies and meats very well. Easy to use but the turning knob broke after a few months. Still works fine. Only complaint is the steaming compartment accumulates scum very easily. Must clean completely after each use to prevent build up.

I usually avoid celeb endorsed products because they usually tend to be a load of rubbish. However, I have been using this for a week and so far it has proved to be a great addition to our kitchen for $45.

It is very convenient, gets going really quickly and can cook a lot of different types of veg at a time.
From cold my veg is ready in about 10 mins. It also keeps it warm for a bit once it is done which is useful because I suck at time management!

I have not had the issues experienced by the other reviewer. However, if things do go wrong I will update my review.

Note: I have never owned a veg steamer before, so have nothing to compare it to except a saucepan of boiling water on the hob!

Messy. Steam drips everywhere. Timer died after a couple of weeks. Drip tray discoloured after one use - steamed carrots. My Crazy Clarks steamer for $16.95 gave me 3 1/2 years of trouble free use but thought the GF would be an upgrade. Well no, tossing it and going back to Crazys!

Timer died. Messy. Stained after one use.
