Opinions from the Philips HD9140
- Advantages: The steam penetrates everywhere, even into the rice bowl and is distributed very well.
- Disadvantages: 1. The filter is clogged (depends on water hardness); 2.the timer is only built-in, you can not increase the time manually
- Disadvantages: I am sooo happy with this steamer and recommend it. I have been using it for more than 4 years, in the last half of the year, every day (I cook for the baby). She has never broken, she prepares everything the same way as the first time. The only thing, at the very beginning, the filter was washed away and inside it is often clogged (I don't know how it would be with it) But this is not a big problem, it just needs to be cleaned more often with vinegar.
Nosov Vasily
- Pluses: All
- Disadvantages: The printing on the buttons quickly faded, over time – after a year the steam intensity decreased
- Disadvantages: Good thing, served faithfully. Now it has become low-power, I am thinking of buying another or this one if it is on sale

- Pluses: Cooking tasty and fast Beautiful Easy to use
- Disadvantages: The cord to the outlet is too short for me – it is not convenient to pour out the rest of the water (the tray with the cord barely reaches the sink) There are no other disadvantages.
- Disadvantages: Great steamer. Beautiful. Prepares delicious steamed breast, steamed cutlets. Actually, I don't cook anything else on it. Ample cooking space. For one person, two containers are enough. I hardly use the third one. All parts can be perfectly washed in the dishwasher along with the rest of the dishes.

- Pluses: Works 🙂
- Disadvantages: The main disadvantage is that the fat from the food is transferred to the water in the lower tray.
- Disadvantages: As far as I understand, the problem with fat is not in the features of this model (with the exception of a small tray for condensate), but in the very type of design of electric steamers with a hidden heating element inside the tube. In this type of design, water, saturated with flowing vapors from food, all the time passes through the heating element, in which layers of fat are deposited on the walls of the tube. And heating elements destroy, and fumes pollute. You can disassemble the steamer, rinse the tubes with the heating element, often drive it out with citric acid, but this is often not possible. You can use steamers with an open heating element – there scale is visible and easy to clean. But most of all, in my opinion, steamers are pans. I put them on the stove, cooked food, and then calmly everything is mine: no hidden areas, fastidious heating elements. And you regulate the “fire” on the stove as you want – therefore, the intensity of vaporization.

- Disadvantages: Maybe we got a defect, but after two years of operation, the bottom of the lower container just fell off. The saddest thing is that the containers are different and the lower container cannot be replaced with others.
- Disadvantages: It worked in general normally. Sometimes, however, steam for some reason did not come. Cleaned it regularly enough in accordance with the instructions. The operating conditions were not violated.

- Pluses: Ease of operation and price (when I took it in 2013 it cost 1880 of our plastic ones)))) There are many tiers, even a tureen! And there is a net for seasoning, this is a big plus !!!
- Disadvantages: This is a conditionally, of course, a disadvantage, rather difficult operating conditions: We have very hard water and once it just stopped producing steam …. As it is written in the instructions to deal with scale, we studied it and did it … But in the end, it “went” to the service center, from which I have not returned … What exactly is the problem, they did not find out, I certainly think that this is hard water.
- Disadvantages: They took it mainly for sterilizing children's dishes and preparing the “right” food))) Works great !!!! They cooked (boiled))) even potatoes in it, it turns out no worse than in a saucepan))) The main thing is not to fill a lot of potatoes, you will get tired of waiting and add water! Someone wrote that the inscriptions (drawings) from the buttons are erased, this problem was not found! I definitely recommend this model, of course now the price tag for it is not at all democratic … Yesterday I bought the same one again only in white, there were no options with black, but it is better to take a black one: the same notorious scum is better visible in it!
Plotnikov Konstantin
- Advantages: works, steam
- Disadvantages: no serious ones were found
- Disadvantages: I have been using it for two years. I didn’t use it for half a year due to moving out of town, I turn it on – I was upset, I already wanted to buy a new one. then I decided to find out the reason, the case is warming up a little, but there was no steam, ok, I'm taking it to Moscow, I turn it on in the office and then the steamer gave a hint – the “calc” light came on, which, as it were, hints about scale. I poured vinegar directly onto the heater, removing the black nozzle and after 2 minutes I began to observe the fountains of scale. the steamer came to life, everything works. in addition to this I use brown fs20 – it's a pity that they were removed from production, so they are really indestructible and reliable.

- Pluses: Great price! Good quality! Everything you need to do.
- Disadvantages: Not yet available
- Disadvantages: The steamer was purchased as a sterilizer for bottles, nipples, etc., due to the expectation of an addition, as well as directly perform the function of a steamer for preparing tasty and healthy dishes for yourself and later for the child, as the first complementary food. Today we cooked ribs and potatoes, everything is super! Tasty and healthy, and most importantly, simply, saving time, especially when summer is hot and you don't have to stand at the stove. I thought before that the food in the steamer was fresh, it turned out to be wrong) someone wrote here that the cord is short, and did not try to pull it out?) Regarding washing the water container, it is not very convenient, yes, but actually there are no difficulties, at an angle so that water did not get on the panel, that's all, and given the lightness of the base, it is easy to clean. and also about the fact that it is difficult to wash the grates, well, I don’t know, everything is just very washed out, yes, the food gets into the steam holes, of course, but the dish brush can handle it easily. And of course, if you wash it every other day, when everything dries up, then of course you have to rub it) As for the water filling sensor … nothing beeps for me, for now) I hope it will be so) In general, the thing is excellent, especially for such a price. I advise. We will take it as a gift to mom.
Anastasia Kuzmina
- Pluses: – Nice. – Easy to manage. – To the extent of energy consumption. Only 900 watts. (Of course there are more powerful ones. Personally, my opinion, for example 2000 W, is too gorgeous. Such power is not needed!) – A bowl for cereals. A very useful thing. (And it is very voluminous. You can eat and postpone for work.) – Electronic control. – Nothing extra. Not any “mulitpovar”, independent bowls and similar useless functions! Koi is not a bad overpayment. Steam food. If she “sits out” a little, nothing will be terrible! … – Not noisy. – The quality is on top! The plastic is not smelly, strong. – Easy to clean! (There are reviews that it doesn’t wash well. But forgive me that you don’t need to cook such a thing in order to dirtiest it to the point of a “garbage can.” )
- Disadvantages: Not that they are not for such a pittance …. They simply do not exist !!!
- Disadvantages: Very, very beautiful thing! Everything turns out as it should! Saves time. No need to stand at the stove. Elementary, daily dishes (pasta, cutlets, cereals, soups, fish … in general, everything that does not require special zeal) is simply prepared perfectly and effortlessly. And in combination with the head, hands and culinary imagination, it produces incredible gastronomic masterpieces! Perhaps, you will have to sweat over dishes that are more refined … But! This is anyway))) In general, the conclusion is obvious. Necessary thing! In addition to all the advantages, the food is also healthy. Ideal for keeping in shape and shape)
Smirnov Alex
- Pluses: Easy to operate! Lots of options! Not expensive (1750 rubles with delivery)!
- Disadvantages: The water filling sensor periodically works: it beeps and blinks with a red “eye”, but there is water. Beeps, blinks and stops – China Forever !!!
- Disadvantages: Nice steamer! Pleases! The top-up sensor, maybe it will fall off somehow, I won't carry it for repairs. In terms of the number of possibilities and the price, it is perhaps the best steamer; affordable and large equipment !!!
