Veg Steamer recommendations please

Toomuchdebt

I'm finding that cooking with gas seems to be far more expensive than using the electricity (I use the slow cooker a lot), and also as I have fibromyalgia I sometimes find my hands are too weak to be coping with heavy pans. I'm wondering if a veg steamer is a good buy. I figure plastic is much lighter to wash and also if I can do rice in it, that would help as I always burn rice. There are so many different kinds ...I remember years ago I had one but it didn't cook the veg very well at all. Any recommendations ?
I should probably add I'm cooking for 4 children so needs to be fairly decently sized.

I have a cheap 3 tier one ,I don't use it much mainly Xmas or when I have a big meal to cook, I should use it more it came with a rice steamer but I've never tried it.
Mines a tefal steam cuisine, it has a basic dial timer.
Think it was from arg@s.

I have a 3 tier one, but it is gas hob sort. Works OK but veg does take longer than boiling it

Ah, I obviously misread that as vag. As you were...

I have a two tier one that you plug in. It's donkeys years old and was just a supermarket cheapy. The only downside is washing it up as bits of veg gets stuck in the holes!

Also bought a sistema one for the microwave as it was cheap online at john Lewis. Prices went up the next day so I suspect I got lucky and it was a mistake. It's also really good but not as fast as I had hoped.

I don't bother with my 3 tier now, only 2. Found the top tier didn't cook, particularly if there was a lot in the first one. Very disappointing at Christmas.

Thank you to everyone who helped. I found one late last night that had pretty good reviews so have ordered it and will try it and see
