Astron FS85 electric food steamer review: 3-tier 900W pick

The Astron FS85 is a 3-tier, 8.5L, 900W electric food steamer: one of the few here with clear specs. It holds the top 4.9 rating and comes from a local brand.

What you get

Three stacked trays and 8.5L of room. That’s enough to steam fish, gulay, and rice at the same time, or reheat ulam for the whole family in one go. Picture a whole steamed fish on the bottom tier, veggies in the middle, and siomai or rice up top, one appliance, one session. At 900W it heats fast, so big loads don’t drag like they do on weaker 400W units. The published numbers are the real draw here: you know the size and power up front, which is rare among budget Shopee steamers. Astron Appliances is a local brand with support here, so parts and after-sales are easier than with a mystery import. It’s white, so it blends into most kitchens.

Is it easy to clean?

The three trays stack apart, so you rinse each one on its own instead of wrestling a single deep pot. Steaming is gentle cooking (no oil, no baked-on crust), so most days it’s a quick wash and dry. The seller doesn’t list the basket material, so if BPA-free plastic matters to you, ask via Shopee chat before ordering.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱1,799 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Pricier than a small 2-tier steamer, but you get more capacity, more power, and honest specs. Cheaper than a 40L business unit you don’t need at home. For a family that steams a few times a week, spreading that one-time cost across years of use makes it easy to justify.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you cook for a family, want tiers and real 900W power, and prefer a local brand over a no-name generic. Cooking for one or two? A smaller 2-tier set saves money. Compare both in our best food steamers in the Philippines roundup and our food steamer buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If you want even more room or a proven top pick, the Asahi FS-036 9L food steamer is our Best Overall steamer with a larger 9L capacity, though it runs pricier at around ₱2,549 as of July 11, 2026. If you mostly steam small batches or just eggs, the Tough Mama NTM mini steamer costs far less at around ₱699.
