Model overview based on user reviews  
The Tefal Convenient Series VC140131 steamer is highly appreciated for its ease of use, quick and even cooking, and compact size, making it a great choice for those who value healthy eating and time-saving. It features a timer, two cooking levels, and a convenient water refill system, allowing users to cook multiple dishes simultaneously. Users find it easy to clean, with dishwasher-safe trays, although some note the walls feel slightly fragile. While it excels at cooking a variety of foods like chicken, vegetables, and eggs, it may not significantly reduce cooking time for certain items like beets. Overall, the steamer is praised for its functionality and convenience, despite minor drawbacks such as the lack of backlighting on the control panel and the inability to set an exact cooking time for each level.

good model, like it

A true find for those who value healthy eating and time-saving. I bought it recently and have already managed to appreciate all its advantages. The device is easy to use, even without experience you can quickly understand how it works. The power is sufficient to cook food quickly while preserving all the beneficial properties of the products. In addition, the steamer has several levels for cooking different dishes at the same time, which is very convenient for the family. I like that it is quite compact, so it doesn't take up much space in the kitchen. All parts are easy to care for — the trays can be washed in the dishwasher.

I am satisfied with the purchase

This is my love. I bought it because I decided to eat healthy food from time to time. I chose literally from a few models that were available in the store. Now I cook almost everything in it - chicken fillet turns out very juicy and literally in 15-20 minutes, I was even surprised by such a result, steamed vegetables are also tastier than boiled ones. I cook eggs, porridge, sausages in it, everything turns out great. The only thing I wouldn't recommend cooking in it is beets - I thought it would take less time than on the stove, but it took the same amount of time, I had to constantly add water. But the plus is that there is a special retractable "spout" for adding water. It's also great that there are two separate containers, you can cook different dishes at the same time. I usually put what takes longer to cook on the bottom. It's easy to clean, the trays are good and sturdy. However, the walls seem a bit fragile to me - this is purely a tactile feeling, all of them are still intact for me. But I don't know if they can be washed in the dishwasher. In any case, I am 100% satisfied with it.

The Tefal VC 1401 steamer knows how to draw attention to its person — it makes you look at yourself thanks to the spectacular black colour of the body. And although dirt and fingerprints quickly become visible on black, it still looks much more advantageous in comparison with kitchen appliances painted in classic light colours.

Mechanical timer

In the centre of the front panel of the steamer body there is one large rotary switch that acts as a mechanical timer (up to 60 minutes). To the right of the “twist” there are hint pictograms, next to which the approximate cooking time of various categories of products is applied. So, opposite the image of a fish, a time interval of 10-15 minutes is indicated, for a picture with a chicken — 15-35 minutes, and near a picture of vegetables — 12-45 minutes.

rice bowl

The volume of each steamer bowl is 3 liters. In addition to the two main baskets, the model comes with a small rice bowl. But many users blame it for its too modest size — the amount of rice porridge in the bowl is barely enough for one full serving for an adult.

Level indicator

The water tank holds about 1 liter of liquid and this volume is enough for about an hour of continuous operation of the steamer. I am glad that water can be added during the cooking process, controlling its level by an informative indicator. In addition, even people who are far from close contact with technology can master the simple operation of a steamer, thanks to which Tefal VC 1401 can be recommended to all adherents of a healthy diet.
