Was a bit worried about this as had read other reviews that weren't too positive. However, I needn't have bothered, as I have found it to be a fantastic wee machine. It holds more than enough food for a family of four (youngest of whom is 16) and cooks it fantastically well retaining all the flavours as well as the goodness. I have had no problem with the timer switch or anything else. I am really happy with my purchase and will continue to cook on this as it is far more convenient, easier to clean and much tastier than cooking on my hob.

I bought this steamer as a replacement for a Tefal one which was a lot fancier but cost me more than double what this one did. This steamer is compact so better for single person or couples, its very simple but it does the job - simple as that.

I had expected much better from Russel Hobbs and through my own mistake of not reading the really poor reviews, I ordered this product at the £17 price tag.
I previously had a Tesco electric steamer, but it didn't contain a rice basket, which is what I was looking for. What an error to replace my trusty and well designed (and well-priced!) Tesco steamer for this poor product.
The water boils through the bottom tier and there is no way to top it up while it is cooking without lifting all the baskets. There is no water level indicator either.
The baskets are very small (luckily I am only cooking for one) and are made from a cheaper plastic. They do not fit together nicely, nor are they stackable.
I am most disappointed and wish I had sent it back when I first got it.

A good bargain when we bought it for less than £10, and still good value at around £16! Looks fragile but has stood up to almost daily use since we bought it several weeks ago. Well designed and engineered, food cooks well in it with no leakage/ waste of energy. Only criticism - no instructions on how to use the rice bowl, not immediately obvious to this user's unaided eye!

For the current bargain price of under £10 on Amazon, definitely worth ordering. But watch out for the timer device. It's a really flimsy clockwork spring - I'm now on my second one, having had to return the first one to Amazon as the timer wouldn't work. Unfortunately, the problem is exactly the same on the replacement one, so it's obviously a design flaw. To use this steamer, you will need to set a separate kitchen timer as well, to make sure you don't overcook or let it boil dry. Sometimes the timer works, sometimes it doesn't so you can't rely on it. Worth the hassle in my opinion at such a bargain price, as it cooks very well - I wouldn't pay more than £10, though. If you'd rather not mess about with setting a timer separately, then pay more for a model with a better timing device.

I used this a couple of times but it boils over even if you put hardly any water in it. This means you have to stand it on a towel and I'm not sure how safe it is to mix water and electricity. The plastic bowls are also really flimsy and bendy which makes it hard to clean as you cant really give it a good scrubbing for risk of breaking it.
I gave it away after a few uses and bought a saucepan type.

Initially I was happy with this product. It cooked fine. Then on Christmas morning the timer failed and I had to cook the brussels another way. Not good.

Steamer
We needed a new steamer and liked the look of this one. It works perfectly well but if you are cooking for more than 4 people it is a little small.

I like it
Steamer is very practical, well done and the dishes are delicious, I have only one problem with it, heavily washed the pocket on the down, where drop the spices.
