Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Deni 7600 3-Tier 9-1/2-Quart Stainless-Steel Digital Food Steamer
Customer Review: Poor Design
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this steamer after the one I had for 7 years bit the dust. My previous steamer had a turn dial timer so I thought I would give the digital timer a try - figured it would be pretty neat. Big mistake.
The tiered basket system with the removable bottoms is a good idea, but the baskets are flimsy and do not fit together securely.
I like to steam eggs in my steamer. Normally I throw them in before bed, set the timer for 15 minutes and they are ready to go in the morning. The Deni steamer was taking 40 minutes plus to steam a hardboiled egg - ridiculous! The timer was cumbersome - It starts out at 46 minutes then you have to backtrack from there in 5 minute increments then forward in 1. I found I could not set the steamer and leave. It would steam my veges to the desired steam time, then about a minute later it would reset itself to 46 minutes and start again on its own! After ruining a couple batches of broccoli I finally packed it back up and returned it. I have since replaced it with another brand (with manual turn timer) that is working like a charm.
Customer Review: Simply loved the product.

I purchased this steamer as a Christmas gift for my wife in 2006. Within a few weeks it started to leak and then the digital clock failed. We returned it to the company for replacement. They sent a new one, and the clock on that one also failed, so we retuned it in Oct. of '07. They finally sent us another new one in Feb. of '08. Within a few days, the digital clock on this unit failed. I can accept that one unit can have a defect, and it's not out of the question that a second one could, by coincidence, also have the same defect, but three units with the exact same defect??? I don't think so. This is a good looking product that is inferior in quality. Stay away from it!Customer Review: Great Steamer

Great item, I just got it this week, very easy to use and you
can steam three things at the same time.
I just steamed burgers, vegetables and rice (top vegetables, middle
rice, bottom burges; otherwise you will get all the fat of the burger
on your rice), and everything came out perfectly (the burgers had a
better taste than fried, at least for me).
I recommend people to get the book Cooking with Steam by Stephanie Lyness,
it will take out a lot of the guesswork.
Customer Review: Unacceptable reliability!

It looks very nice and that is the reason I got it. If you are going to use it daily it is going to quit working after about 30 or so days. I had 2 of these doing the same thing!
