I just received my new steamer, my old one also had BPA. I am disappointed at the extended cook times, but am excited about the rice tray. Would like one with faster cook times!

I selected this product over the others because I wanted something simple, easy to clean, not too big for the kitchen counter, and inexpensive. This product fits the bill for all of these.
Simple - there is not much to a steamer as it just boils water and this product has one dial. There is nothing fancy to it. Also it is safe because if you are out of water it turns itself off and not even my coffee maker does that. It is very easy to use, but it doesn't think for itself and so you are required a little intelligence in being able to know when your food is cooked properly as I have a tendency to just turn it on and check on it later.
easy to clean - this steamer is very easy to clean. The plastic is very thin and flexible which surprised me when I first got it, but when you think about it a steamer doesn't really need to be built like a juicer since the steaming process is not as demanding.
Not too big - this steamer seems to be just the right size for a single person, but if you are cooking for a family you should consider something bigger. This steamer is just big enough to be functional. And it definitely doesn't take up much space.
Inexpensive - well it could have been a little cheaper. If it was $10.00 bucks cheaper I would have given this steamer 5 stars and my highest reccomendation. But the price was not too bad and was definitely cheaper than the others I looked at.
So if you are single or a student you might consider this a good deal.

This steamer was the ONLY BPA Free steamer I could find for my family. I found that it is very small, even with both tiers and takes a long time to steam the vegetables when compared to the other steamer we had (which did contain BPA). So I guess that is the trade off but I'm going to continue to look for a better, faster model.
