Our top steam oven for a Malaysian home is the Xiaomi Smart Steam Oven 30L at RM999: a 30L cavity that steams, air fries and bakes, with app control. If you cook for one or two, the TJean 12L at RM468.28 has by far the strongest sales record here, and the Bear BSO-B200L at RM399 is the cheapest way in; the caveat is that most listings below are new, with few or no recorded sales.
We checked all 10 listings below live on Shopee Malaysia on 2 November 2026, from RM399 to RM12,499. Nothing here was bought or hands-on tested. Disclosure: the buy links below are our affiliate links; we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

30L cavity, 3-in-1 steam, air fry and bake, app control
The all-rounder for a family kitchen: 30L is big enough for a whole fish or a tray of vegetables, and one box covers steaming, air frying and baking for RM999. Skip it if you want proof from other buyers first, because our Shopee listing shows a 4.9 rating but no recorded sales yet.
- Steams, air fries and bakes in one 30L cavity
- Smart app control
- 360 degree hot air circulation
- Stainless steel interior that is easy to clean
- No sales recorded on our Shopee listing yet

Best Proven Seller: TJean 12L Steam Air Fryer Oven
3 more points
12L countertop steam and air fry oven, sold by the TJean Official Store
The safest cheap buy on this list: the TJean Official Store listing has 421 recorded sales and a 4.9 rating at RM468.28, far more evidence than any other listing here. At 12L it suits one or two people, so a family should look at the 30L ovens instead.

- Official store listing with 421 recorded sales and a 4.9 rating
- Simple enough for a first steam oven

20L countertop electric steam oven

1 more point
28L grill microwave with a healthy-steam mode
Pick this if you want one appliance that is a microwave first and can also steam vegetables, poultry and fish, for RM509. It is not a true steam oven, so for steamed fish done properly look at the Xiaomi or the Panasonic instead.
- Microwave, grill and a steam mode in one 28L unit
- Steam mode suits vegetables, poultry and fish
- RM509, among the lowest prices here
- A grill microwave with a steam mode, not a full steam oven

4 more points
30L steam convection oven (NU-SC300BMPQ)
The one for people who also bake: a 30L steam and convection oven that can grill, bake and ferment. At RM2,499 it costs about two and a half times the Xiaomi, so buy it for the baking, not only the steaming.

- About two and a half times the price of the Xiaomi

31L superheated steam countertop oven
Sharp's Healsio is a 31L countertop oven with superheated steam and a red finish that stands out. At RM4,399 it is a lot for a countertop appliance, so it only makes sense if you will use steam several times a week.

How We Chose
We looked up each stored listing live on Shopee Malaysia on 2 November 2026 by its own item ID, rather than searching by name, and each had to still sell the exact model we name. Four failed that test and were fixed: the Bear link pointed at a Morgan toaster oven and now points at the BSO-B200L from FRENSHI HOME at RM399; the Sharp link was dead and now points at an AX1700VMR listing at RM4,399; the Panasonic link covered a different model and now points at the NU-SC300 at RM2,499; the Fotile link sold the larger 32L HYZK32-E3 and now points at the Fotile Flagship Store HYZK26-E1 at RM2,625; the Robam listing was right but dear, so it now points at the cheapest ST10 we found, RM2,199 against RM2,999 before. We also removed three Lazada buttons because they landed on the wrong product: the Xiaomi one landed on a 20L model, the Samsung one on a plain solo microwave and the Bosch one on a different Bosch oven, the HBG655HS1. Most of these listings have no recorded sales, so we say so on each card instead of ranking by a number we cannot back. Nothing was bought or tested.
How to Choose a Steam Oven
What is the best steam oven in Malaysia?
For most homes we would start with the Xiaomi Smart Steam Oven 30L at RM999. If you live alone, the TJean 12L at RM468.28 has the best sales record on this list, and if you want the lowest price the Bear BSO-B200L is RM399.
What is the difference between a steam oven and a speed oven?
A steam oven cooks with steam, often with convection or air frying added. A speed oven, sometimes called a combi microwave, adds microwave heating so food cooks faster. On this list the Samsung and the Hitachi are microwave-based, while the Xiaomi, TJean, Bear, Panasonic, Fotile, Robam and Sharp are steam-led countertop ovens.
What should I cook in a steam oven?
Steam suits fish, chicken, vegetables, rice and reheating leftovers without drying them out. Ovens with air fry or bake modes, such as the Xiaomi, Fotile and Panasonic, also roast, bake and crisp food, so you do not need a second appliance for those.
Who makes a steam oven?
The brands on this page are Xiaomi, TJean, Bear, Samsung, Panasonic, Fotile, Robam, Sharp, Hitachi and Bosch. Bosch makes the built-in model; the rest are countertop or free-standing.
Is a steam oven worth the extra money?
It depends on how often you would use the steam. A RM399 to RM999 countertop oven is a modest step up from a microwave or an air fryer; the RM4,000 to RM12,499 models only make sense if you will steam several times a week or are fitting out a new kitchen.
Countertop, free-standing or built-in?
Countertop and free-standing ovens plug in and move with you, so they suit renters. A built-in such as the Bosch needs a cabinet cut-out and installation, which is only worth it in a new or renovated kitchen.
How big should a steam oven be?
About 12L to 20L suits one or two people, 25L to 33L suits a family, and 71L is a full-size built-in. Check that your usual dish fits: a whole fish needs a larger cavity than the Bear or the TJean.
Steam Oven or Microwave?
A microwave heats fast but unevenly and can dry food out; a steam oven is slower to heat but keeps food moist when reheating or cooking. The Samsung and Hitachi picks try to do both. If you only reheat leftovers, see our guide to the best microwave ovens in Malaysia. If you want crisp food as well, a steam model with an air fry mode covers it.
