Biggest Loser AS-1500-BL 2-in-1 Double-Up Multi-Tier Food-and-Whole-Grain Steamer Review

Read all the way to the end.
Tried 11 Oster's and 8 Black & Decker steamers over the past 2.5 years. Oster's electronics went out. B&D's plastic cracked in dishwasher and fell apart. We steam 2x per day fully loaded.
The Taylor made Biggest Loser Steamer so far exceeds both the others. It's still new - only 3 weeks of use - but it's design is obviously well thought through. Easy to read numbers on the timer, back-lit water level indicator, power on light easy to see across the kitchen. Nice colors and lip handles on water part means you don't have to wait for it to cool down to take apart. Plastic is thicker so we hope it won't crack in the dishwasher.
UPDATE: Less than 2 months of use, like a hot marbel dropped in cold water, the CLEAR plastic parts are shattering. Only the CLEAR plastic, NOT the GREEN plastic. Both are washed together in the dishwasher. AND the knob now turns only clockwise. It's jammed if we try to turn it counter-clockwise. Just ordered another black & decker which holds up the best.
I don't know how to reduce the # of stars, but now I give it a 1 star.
Looks like we're the biggest loser.

The multi tier steaming tower lets you cook different meal courses at the same time.Steam fish, chicken or vegetables in one container, while steaming in a second, dedicated tray rice, cous cous, steel cut oatmeal or other grains. It tenderly cooks proteins, vegetables and whole grains.Double up with The Biggest Loser Steamer + Rice Cooker featuring super quick steam in less than 30 seconds so you won\'t be kept waiting.Check your water level through the indicator and simply add more through either of the 2-sided exterior water openings.You don\'t even have to remove the containers to refill during cooking.There is a 60 minute timer that rings loudly and then shuts the steamer off automatically.For extra safety measures, there is a boil dry alert that cuts the steamer off if the water accidently runs dry.The 3 quart see through containers both let you see what\'s cooking.

We went on the new Weight Watcher Core Food plan which encourages you to eat whole grains. Sounds great but how do you cook those tough shelled, long cooking, starchy, sticking, burning foods.
THIS RICE COOKER IS IT!! We have thrown every type of oats, grits, brown rice, brown rice/lentil medley, non-gluten cereal, Wheatena in this pot with the right amount of water from the package directions on the rice setting. It makes a perfect porridge every time without burning. You can even set it to have it ready for breakfast when you wake up in the morning.
It puts the warmth in our tummies.
