Priced right and doesn't do a bad job with poached eggs. I use this unit about 3 - 4 times a week and it works well for the money. I could have spent more money on just a poached egg pan but decided to try this unit and I am glad I did. Very simple...

small, works great, not expensive this is a foolproof way to cook poached and soft and hard boiled eggs

a bit hard to get the eggs out without burning your hands only cooks three eggs at a time

Follow the instructions, use the right amount of water (yes, more for less eggs as counter-intuitive as it seems), and it works great.

Makes perfect hard cooked eggs. Easy to clean

Does not supply raw eggs. Must be careful not to touch the top while it is doing it's thing (gets hot)

This is a pretty slick little unit. Takes about 15 minutes to hard boil half a dozen eggs from start to finish. Small footprint and a lot easier than boiling water in a saucepan. Easy clean up. Does soft,medium and hard plus poached.

The only con is the water measuring cup which can be hard to read the water level to number of eggs being cooked with my older eyes. Solved that by marking a line on the outside with a ultra-fine sharpie at the 6 egg hard boil level which is the one I...
