$90Kenwood FS470 Good points
Excellent cooking performance. Top basket fits in lowest position if required. Baskets stack inside each other for compact storage. Has LCD display screen with pre-set cooking times. Has keep-warm function. Has egg supports.
But
Lid isn't transparent (so you can’t see the top layer). Not dishwasher safe.

$110Sunbeam ST6820 VitaSteam Electronic Good points
Excellent cooking performance. Baskets can be placed in any position. Basket bases are removable. Has delayed-start function. Has egg supports.
But
Baskets can't be stacked inside each other (so the steamer takes up a lot of storage space). Not dishwasher safe.
