Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Black & Decker HS2776 Double-Decker Flavor-Scenter Steamer Deluxe Food Steamer
Customer Review: It's Getting Steamy in Here...
Summary: 3 Stars
What can I say about a steamer? The process is quite simple... heat water and add items above the water so to cook them without washing away the flavors and nutrients. Yes, a person can do this in many ways without spending money on yet another gadget but oh this gadget is worth paying for. I am giving this steamer a neutral rating because a: it is made in China. b: there is no recipe book for those of us who have never used a steamer before. c: this model is way way way too expensive for the lack of features. Does it do what it's supposed to? You bet it does. I've made perfect shrimp and corn on the cob. Would I buy it again for the price I paid? No. I would find a cheaper one somewhere. Do I regret buying this one? No. In summary, if you want a steamer that works but lacks some great features (like a water level meter) and don't mind paying for the convenience of free shipping you will be served well by this steamer.Customer Review: Its just hype. Do not waste your money.

It does work, but it is stupid outdated appliance. It does not steam rice but boils it! It is replaced by a stove, crock pot and microwave. All easier and less mess. Save your hard earned money. I have had it for 20 years. We used all it's "Deluxeness". Then used it 5 more times, maybe we were missing something? NO. No offense to others who use it.Customer Review: LIKE THIS STEAMER SO MUCH I BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE RIGHT AWAY
Summary: 5 Stars
....SORTA.....MY AKITA CHEWED UP THE RICE BOWL...OF MY NEW STEAMER. TO REPLACE THE RICE BOWL COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW STEAMER, SO I OPTED FOR THE SECOND NEW STEAMER. AT LEAST I WILL HAVE SOME SPARE PARTS JUST IN CASE. I WON'T BE LEAVING THE RICE BOWL IN THE KITCHEN SINK THIS TIME. THIS STEAMER IS VERY VERSATILE AND EASY TO USE.Customer Review: Leaked; customer service is evil
Summary: 2 Stars
The steamer worked great at first, but then it started leaking copious amounts of water through an insecure seal at the bottom. Also the timer stopped working, and I had to set my own timer separately. Black & Decker had me snip off the power plug and return it, with $7.50, for a replacement. Weeks later, I received a Black & Decker HS800 Flavor Scente Steamer, which is a cheaper and inferior model. I complained, and was told that, as far as they're concerned, they fulfilled their warranty obligation. I'm still arguing with them now, but they want me to mail back the HS800 at my own expense--again.
This is a great product when it works, but I'm going to avoid buying Black & Decker from now on, just in case.
Customer Review: Leaves plastic taste in food
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this steamer based on all the rave reviews. What in the world? This steamer leaves a horrible plastic taste in everything I have cooked in it. I have tried it over and over again hoping the taste would go away but I have given up after many ruined meals. My hopefulness and persistence has taken me beyond the 30 day return policy so now I will just have to throw it away. I really can not understand how other reviewers have not experienced this problem.
