 Beware of the pop up handle June 14, 2010

I bought this without a second thought on the OXO name. I have a dozen or so of their products and am generally happy with the quality. This OXO steamer is definitely an exception to that rule. I use this to steam my baby's food. Basically, I use a steamer 3-4 times a week so it gets used heavily. The 'pop' up handle broke after 4 weeks and it will not stay down in the low position. The handle is spring loaded so it basically useless at this point because i cannot put a lid on top of the pot. I would stay away from this product and go with a more practical steamer.
 Tall legs a plus February 24, 2010

I searched for a steamer with tall legs as I previously needed to prop up my old steamer for a soup recipe.
I was thrilled to find this steamer. There is nothing else like it on the market. Oxo makes
a terrific product, sturdy and versatile. Perhaps it's size and height is not for everyone, but for a serious cook it is a seriously great tool!
Above and beyond my expectations February 22, 2010

Normally, a steamer would be considered a rather mundane kitchen tool. Oxo's steamer is far superior to any other I have used and is a fine addition to my kitchen. The legs are long enough to keep the food out of the water, it's a generous size, and the pop-up handle is a great idea. Thanks to all who took time to review this item, as it made a difference when I was debating whether or not to order.
 Would be great but pop-handle keeps popping up January 30, 2010

I like the design, very rugged and well built. I especially like the sturdy fold-down legs. I also liked the design of the pop-up handle with slot allowing you to lift the hot steamer with a fork. I would give this product 5 stars, like the majority of other reviews except for one big problem. The telescoping spring-loaded handle design permits three handle-height positions: fully down, half-way up and fully extended. The problem is that my handle will not stay down. With a lot of work I can get it to stay half-way down for a short period before it pops fully up on its own. I can rarely get it fully down and then for no more than a couple of seconds. When I get it half-way down, it tends to pop up when it gets hot during steaming and shoots the lid off my pot. I have to fully remove the handle (yes, it's removable) before I can use it for steaming. I don't know if this is just a manufacturing defect in my steamer, but if you have the opportunity, carefully check out the steamer in person before you buy one. I really want to love this steamer.
 Some missing specs that I needed... January 26, 2010

1. I would have given 5 stars if not for the unnecessarily long legs - 1.75"! Water level at 3/4 to 1 inch is usually more than enough for me to steam vegetables. The extra clearance from shorter legs would allow me to use this steamer in more pots.
2. base diameter measures 6.75"; 10.5" in diameter with leaves fully open
3. 2.5" tall with FOLDABLE legs closed, without center post and leaves closed completely; 3" tall with collapsed post
4. 4.25" tall with legs open, without post and leaves standing straight up; 5" with center post
5. Pop-up center post is all stainless except for the plastic grip at the top. This is great b/c I don't like plastic to touch my food. However, I don't need it so I just unscrewed it and put it away. Post is 2.5" collapsed and 4.5" extended.
6. Otherwise, it works and feels like the other similar steamers.
