I hesitated with other brands before I started. And I conquered it just SUPER, I have no worries mixing have to play with the amount of water to be added not to pack the bowl but it's like everything ... It is really convenient, few dishes to do next. I prefer to do it by hand to avoid premature aging of equipment. Very easy to use and fast maximum 20min cooking. It thaws and warms as demand for more ... So I can cook my vegetables and my fruit simultaneously which saves time. But I think it must be handled carefully because I unfortunately poorly put a steamer at the beginning and that it has lost pieces of plastic (so super fragile)! But I do not regret my purchase and I highly recommend it. And anyway in case of trouble beaba set up a spare parts sav. The negative point is the price, think about monitor lightning deals amazon ....
