I love my DeLonghi EC685M Dedica. I bought it barely used on craigslist for $110.

You can buy it on Amazon for $258
You can find great deals (new and used) on eBay for much lower

If you're handy, there's a cool DIY mod to swap out the semi-manual steam wand with a fully manual one. There are a few videos and guides but here is one.

I’ve been using the Delonghi Dedica por the past 2 years with zero problems. It’s come down in price recently so it’s worth a look:

This is the espresso machine, not sure why it's so much more expensive in the U.S.
This is the grinder

I think what I'd call high-end is what you're calling low-end, so I'd say that probably answers my question as to how usable low-end machines are haha.

I see the one linked to above is available for significantly cheaper,

What would be the difference between that, and the stovetop ones?

Essentially what I need to know is;

Comparing a steamer in a cheap $100-200 machine to a $600-800 machine, is it merely buying better espresso, and only $1000 machines are where you see a huge difference in the steamer? And in what I suppose you would consider very low end machines like this,

What qualities do the steamers have that make them far inferior to those found in the Silvia?

Also thanks for the help so far.
