Tixx 40L electric steamer review: big siomai-business steamer

The Tixx 40L is a big electric food steamer made for a siomai or siopao business, plenty of room to keep hot stock moving. It’s 4.7-rated with 570+ sold.

What you get

A large 40L steamer for selling at volume. Plug it in and steam trays of siomai, siopao, and puto all day without tying up a gas range, handy for a stall, a canteen, or a storefront. Being electric, you can set it up anywhere with an outlet. The 40L size is the headline: this is built to feed a queue, not a family. The listing stays thin on numbers, though. It doesn’t publish the wattage, voltage, or material, which matter for a machine you’ll run for hours. Message the seller to confirm the power draw and build before you commit.

How much can it steam at once?

Three stainless tiers over 40L is a lot of headroom. Load one tier with siomai, another with siopao, and a third with puto, then run them together. For a stall that sells through lunch, that means fewer refills and less downtime between batches. The 24-hour smart timer keeps a set going hands-off, so you can serve customers while it works instead of watching the pot. At 1200W it draws hard, though. Give it its own outlet and don’t share the socket with a rice cooker or fridge line running all day.

Is it sulit?

Around ₱2,399 as of July 11, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It’s the priciest steamer here, but you’re paying for 40L of business capacity. For a stall doing steady siomai sales, a couple of busy days can cover a good chunk of that. The stainless build and 24-hour timer are the parts that matter when you run it for hours at a time. The smaller Tixx unit costs far less if your volume is lighter.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you sell siomai or siopao at volume and need a big electric steamer that runs without a stove. It earns its keep when it’s steaming most of the day, not when it sits idle. Home cook? This is overkill. Pick a smaller tier set from our best food steamers in the Philippines roundup and our food steamer buying guide.

Alternatives to consider

If you cook for a family rather than a queue, a smaller unit is the smarter buy. The Astron FS48 2-layer electric food steamer is our Best Value pick at around ₱899 as of July 11, 2026. 4.8L is plenty for home steaming. Want a mid-size all-rounder with a longer track record? The Asahi 9L food steamer FS-036 is our Best Overall pick at around ₱2,549 as of July 11, 2026.
