Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Customers find the steamer works well in the microwave and is perfect for steaming both fresh and frozen vegetables. They appreciate its size, being able to handle moderate amounts for reheating or steaming, and find it simple to use and clean, with the option to put it in the dishwasher. While some customers find it well-built, others describe it as somewhat flimsy, and opinions about capacity are mixed, with some finding it large enough for a large portion of vegetables while others note it's smaller than expected.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025This is a game changer for me. This means I never run out of food. I buy frozen broccolli, beans, and other veggies/veggie mixes from the supermarket, and simply steam them in the microwave with this. Food ready in 2-3 minutes!
1 complain though: some of the lid locks are stubborn. Could be better engineered. Nevertheless, serves my purpose.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2025great for bringing stuff to work. seals well, fair price and works as expected. quick venting when needed and good build quality keeps your food fresh when you need to store or move it
- Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024Liked the size.. .holds a lot and works well in microwave. Sometimes trouble closing so it is tight and does not open when pulling out of microwave. Question how long will last.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2025Quick delivery, does how it’s advertised.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2024Other steamers in the past have the vegetables actually sitting in the water. I love that this one has the water below the vegetables instead. It works great and makes adding a healthy side to dinner easy! My only con is that the 3 pieces take up almost the whole top rack of my dishwasher. I recommend washing by hand.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024I used to use the microwave steamer bags. But for the life of me, I cannot find them anywhere anymore. So I was looking for an alternative and found it! This microwave steamer is great, has plenty of space, and easy to clean.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2025It does the basic job. It will steam vegetables, although unevenly (as the manual recognizes), because the center receives less steam.
The construction is very awkward. The hinges are difficult to close, there are no carrying handles, and worst of all, the central stem is difficult to grab. The stem tapers off and has nothing to grab at the top to stop your fingers from sliding off.
And slide off they will, because this is a steamer, and steam makes things moist and slippery (surprise!).
- Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2024I returned this item as I did not need all the room in it. I steam vegetables (usually a few pieces of broccoli, a few baby red potatoes or a few pieces of a vegetable medley) in the Sistema Cereal Bowl. It is smaller and better fits my needs. If my needs change and a larger bowl is needed, then I will get the Sistema Steamer. I do recommend the Sistema Cereal Bowl for when the item(s) steamed are small. It is very useful. The bowl is also BPA free. I am very glad I purchased it from Amazon.

- Ashley StrasbourgReviewed in Canada on October 5, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy clean and convenient!
Works well! I like the size because I can put enough vegetables in it for 3+ people and it only takes a few min to microwave. I use the dishwasher to clean it and so far so good! (I've had it for over a year) I would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Es grande y muy práctica
Tiene una especie de escurridor dentro con lo cual el agua que sueltan las verduras se queda apartada. Con otras se hervían los alimentos por esta razon. Con esta queda todo muy rico y tiene una gran capacidad, además parece muy resistente. Muy satisfechos ^^
