Opinions from the Tefal VC 1301 Minicompact
- Advantages: The steamer performs all the necessary tasks. The steamer produces amazingly tasty and healthy food for the whole family. The steamer is comfortable and compact. The lack of a timer is perhaps a plus, because there is nothing to break, as I heard that the timer adjustment sometimes fails even in expensive devices. I am very pleased with the purchase and have already managed to give the same to my mother for her birthday.
- Disadvantages: No disadvantages.

- Advantages: – Everything soars and cooks perfectly =) – Very compactly concealed.
- Disadvantages: No. – Over time, we realized that there was not enough timer to turn on and off. – It is a pity that there is no automatic shutdown in the absence of water. But when they bought, they knew what cooking could and what not, so there were no complaints.
- Disadvantages: Has been working perfectly for 3 years. Sometimes you want to put on the cooking and go somewhere for an hour, but no, you have to wait and turn it off. We cleaned the heater 2 times during this time (maybe out of laziness, but it did not affect the work). – I like to warm up food in it (About 1 liter of soup will warm up in 10 minutes – we use separately purchased containers, which just came up along HxWxD). It tastes much better from the stove or from the double boiler than after the microwave. – The water in the pan after cooking is very cool to use as a broth, to cook porridge on it. Recommended, cooks-soars! IN ANY OCCASION ABOUT RICE (and then people are swearing …) !!! Rice needs to be poured with water, and then it will be cooked in a double boiler … And not just put it in a box and put dry … After 25 minutes, 200 grams is ready.

- Pluses: nothing
- Disadvantages: No time adjustment, terrible ending sound, ran into a marriage
- Disadvantages: Never buy this model. I was very sorry that I had bought it. I bought it on the Internet, read the “electronic” control, well, I thought that you were setting the program with buttons, but in the photo I did not see that it automatically turns off when the water runs out. BUT, how do you know that this sensor will work, and if not. I have to run to the kitchen to watch the water level. Also, rice is not cooked in it, poured into a bowl, but it remained almost completely dry. Now you need to look for a bowl like a sieve. Moreover, I ran into a marriage, hissing instead of the sound of the end. I do not advise anyone to buy, take with mechanical control.

- Pluses: My first steamer. Actually, everything suits you for cooking. But technical details spoil the picture.
- Disadvantages: The stupid design allows the condensed steam from the products to get in some amount into the container with the heating element. I noticed when, when cooking beets, the water there turned pink. Before that, I did not understand where the dark spots appear on the heater. Anything that flows down from the food will burn, which means that the heater needs to be cleaned much more often than it should be, and, most likely, the service life will be noticeably shorter than with a normal design. I wonder if this is a special bug for faster buying a replacement for a broken steamer? Well, they could have made an auto-shutdown system when all the water evaporates, even if this would slightly increase the price.
- Disadvantages: In general, if you have already bought it, clean the heating element more often. If you still choose, take another. I will not take such a double boiler myself, and I will not recommend it to anyone. And when buying another, I will evaluate the design for the possibility of water flow from the products to the heater.

- Disadvantages: It stopped giving a signal of readiness, as a result, the heater almost burned out after the water boiled away.
- Disadvantages: I do not think that the lack of a timer is such a big problem, in general everything is visible there by divisions. BUT! She stopped giving a signal of readiness, so you have to stand next to her for the last 10 minutes, or set the time 10 minutes longer so that the water does not boil away. In general, the steamer is not bad, the wife cooks only manti in it, because a multicooker has appeared and the need for a double boiler is gone. I think that in general, for this money, you can buy a multicooker, which has much more functions, well, given the fact that I stopped giving a signal of readiness for more than 3, I cannot deliver, but in general the model is not bad.

- Advantages: Plastic does not smell Compact folds Easy to wash Not expensive
- Disadvantages: There is no timer (only the on / off button), although it is not a problem to turn on the timer in the phone. The cord is short (although it suits me perfectly). The tiers are not interchangeable. If you break the first one, then you cannot put the rest on the first level. However, this is a price to pay for compact storage.
- Disadvantages: Good steamer for a small kitchen or a family of 2

- Pluses: Compactness !!! Lack of unnecessary buttons, knobs, etc.
- Disadvantages: I have been using this steamer for 1.5 years. Everything suits me! The sound is not pleasant, of course, but it is definitely clear that it worked) At the moment I use more for sterilizing baby bottles, nipples, etc. It takes up little space, which is very important in my small kitchen !!! It is convenient to store as the tiers fold into each other!

- Pluses: -Compactness! -Quality -Price
- Disadvantages: – not a very pleasant sound signal)) – there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull the plug out of the socket.
- Disadvantages: Great steamer, everything is prepared perfectly, the steamer is cleaned without problems. Everything is delicious, fast and simple !!!! I really like the taste of food in a double boiler, the food does not smell like plastic. Although many say it turns out not very tasty, you need to be able to cook, even in a double boiler. There is no heaviness in the stomach after such food. Great thing in the kitchen. Of the minuses, only a not very pleasant sound signal can be noted)), there is no shutdown button, you always have to pull out the plug from the outlet and the mesh is the bottom of the bowl, sometimes food is clogged there. But in the dishwasher, everything is perfectly washed, so it doesn't matter.

- Pluses: The price is small.
- Disadvantages: No timer. Small bowl for rice.
- Disadvantages: I like it, it is convenient. in addition to the timer, there is protection against lack of water – the thermostat is activated. A bowl for rice could have been larger. I put in addition a second faience. And the holes are normal, mediocre, it is convenient to wash, but it could have been more, then it would be even more convenient to wash.

- Advantages: 1) The quality of the plastic, no smell; 2) Sufficient volume of the condensate bowl, even if more water accumulates there, it will begin to overflow into the evaporator bowl; 3) Compact size.
- Disadvantages: The baskets are not interchangeable, this is done for the sake of being able to place them in one another during storage. In practice, arrange the food correctly and everything will cook as it should.
- Disadvantages: Initially I expected to buy another model with more power, but it turned out that 650 W is quite enough power, even for cooking with full filling of all three tiers. The aquatimer works great, automatically turns off the heater, which, by the way, has a rubber anti-corrosion coating.
