• "Cooks eggs in all sorts of styles."

Cons:

• "But the point is, this gadget is useless."
• "If you cook more than three eggs in this thing, you're gonna burn your fingers when you try to pick up the tray because there's just no room between the tray handles and the hot eggs."
• "I want this to work but after following instructions twice the egg is always underdone."

• "The steam seems to separate the egg from the shell."
• "It’s easy to use and makes perfect eggs every time."
• "Eggggs-elent!!! This little wonder makes perfect hard boiled eggs!"
• "Eggs come out perfect every time."

Cons:

• "Sometimes the eggs came out perfectly, sometimes they came out runny."
• "The only thing I don’t like about this product is the buzzer."
• "The silver tray did get dirty fairly quickly even though I cleaned it as soon as the eggs were done."
• "The shut-off alert... will SHRIEK at you."
• "The boiled eggs come out better than 'boiled', the omelettes are so fluffy and the poached eggs are poached!"
• "Soft and medium boiled, more challenging, as the egg inside the shell is not very firm."
• "I tried poaching eggs for 20 minutes and they were still raw."

Design & Quality

Pros:

• "The trays and lid all seem to be sturdy plastic so far."
• "Seems to be made well and should last."
• "The bottom half is solidly made and well-designed."
• "It’s both easy to store and compact enough to leave out for a cute kitchen counter talking piece."
• "This thing makes it easy and only takes up a tiny bit of space."
• "It's very compact, and very easy to clean."
• "This precious little appliance intuitively cooks the whitest grocery store egg, my oversized duck eggs, and everything in between, flawlessly."

Cons:

• "I ordered it used. But I didn't expect it to arrive dirty with dried food."
• "The only flaw is that the buzzer is SO loud and long."
• "The instructions are poor. The markings on the water measurer are wrong."
• "Inner cooking surface turns black from the heat. I am concerned about fire hazard."
• "However the one I bought does NOT include the poaching or omelet tray, and there is no beeper when the eggs are done."
• "This was a lot smaller than I expected. It almost looked like a toy egg cooker."
• "I give it a thumbs down and would not recommend it to anyone."

Convenience

Pros:

• "It's basically silent when it's cooking."
• "I have been using bottled water and have had no discoloration of the heating plate."
• "Little vinegar on a paper towel to clean the base and the other parts go in the dishwasher."
• "I use this device to mainly boil eggs. It's super quick and it's saved me money from snacking and poor take out decisions."
• "The beep or ding is not loud at all, my air fryer, microwave and stove timer all are much louder."
• "As a bonus, I'm a single guy on Keto and this worked great to steam a single serving of frozen broccoli florets."
• "This egg cooker shuts off automatically."

Cons:

• "The white of the eggs bubbles out the pin hole at the top and goes down to the metal surface and has to be soaked with vinegar to get it all off."
• "Also, this does NOT auto shut off, like advertised."
• "Plus, one more appliance to store."
• "The buzzer is barely a whisper, you have to be right next to it to hear it... disappointing."
• "Problem is it doesn't cook long enough according to the directions."
• "Used to 'boil eggs' about 6 times since purchase and doesn’t work any more."
• "The alarm is loud, as in very loud."

Additional Features

Pros:

• "The other nice thing that the ones that include the trays is a 16 page recipe booklet that I’d love to have."
• "Convenient pin built under measuring cup for piercing eggs, though I didn't notice it immediately because I was scanning instructions & box quickly."
• "This cooker comes with a measuring cup for determining how much water to use each time."
• "Bonus: the included accessories are literally life changing."
• "The little cup that it comes with has a thumb tack like poker to poke little hole in top of each egg."
• "Using the slightest amount of butter in the tray allowed them to slip out easily."
• "No mess to clean, just wipe out the water pan and wash the omelet tray, so easy."

Cons:

• "I tried this egg cooker twice and the buzzer was too soft."
• "WARNING! After eggs are cooked the button is not illuminated leaving one to believe that it is off."
• "I noticed when it finished, there was a burning smell."
• "Just put the water in the cooker if you want to have boil eggs and push the button, when the eggs are done the cooker will automatically cut off."
• "The only con is the sound of the buzzer when the timer goes off."
• "I wasn't crazy about the omelet tray because it's so small and doesn't make a realistic omelet, so I don't use that part."
• "The heating plate is relatively easy to clean up with vinegar as noted in the instructions."
