Skip if
Anyone who needs to cook for more than two or three people at a time will find this unit far too small. Buyers expecting a full countertop electric steamer with a water reservoir and timer should look at plug-in models instead.

Overview
At $20.99 and measuring 8.1 x 8.1 x 4.7 inches, the Moyuum BUGLA-111 is clearly designed as a compact, accessory-style steamer rather than a standalone countertop appliance. The silicone material is a practical choice for this format. It tolerates steam heat well, is inherently nonstick, and is flexible enough to store flat or fold when not in use.
The terra cotta and wide divided color variant indicates the unit comes with a divided basket design, which is useful for steaming two different foods simultaneously without flavor crossover. At these dimensions, that is a thoughtful feature in a small footprint.
The 4.6 rating from 163 reviews is the highest rating in this silo and a strong signal for a product under $21. Buyers are clearly finding it works well for its intended use case, making it an easy recommendation for compact steaming needs.
Performance notes
The 8.1 x 8.1 x 4.7 in footprint defines the performance envelope clearly. This is a single or double-portion steamer suitable for vegetables, small fish fillets, dumplings, or baby food. The nonstick finish means food releases cleanly and cleanup is fast. The divided cavity is a practical detail for steaming a protein and a vegetable side at the same time without mixing.
What buyers say
A 4.6 rating from 163 buyers is an unusually strong signal at this price point. Buyers appear to appreciate the simplicity, easy cleanup, and compact format. At $20.99, expectations are appropriately set for an accessory steamer, and the high rating indicates the product exceeds those expectations for most who purchase it.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Moyuum BUGLA-111 a standalone electric steamer?
Based on its small size and silicone construction, this unit functions as a steamer basket or insert rather than a standalone plug-in electric appliance. It requires a separate heat source such as a stovetop pot or microwave to generate the steam. This is standard for compact silicone steamer accessories at this price.
What is the divided basket design good for?
The wide divided configuration lets you steam two different foods in the same session without the flavors or liquids mixing. For example, you can steam broccoli on one side and fish on the other simultaneously, which saves time compared to steaming each item separately.
How durable is food-grade silicone in a steamer?
Food-grade silicone is highly heat-resistant, typically rated to 450 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, well above steaming temperatures. It does not stain easily, resists odor absorption better than plastic, and is flexible without cracking. Silicone steamer baskets generally hold up well with regular use and are dishwasher safe in most cases, though confirming this on the product listing is advisable.
