This thing works great, and its price point is extremely competitive. Having stated these key facts at the outset, here's another important reason I chose mine over its competitors. It's probably not the reason you're considering this appliance, but I think it might intrigue you to consider the possibilities outside of its obvious features. Recently, I've become focused on the consumption of watts when it comes to my appliances. My focus on watts is not about saving money or the environment. It's about my freedom to enjoy comfort wherever I am. That's right, it's about freedom in my mobility without sacrificing certain creature comforts. So, when I came upon this 300-watt multi-purpose cooking appliance I realized had even greater potential I took note. Comically, like a lot of people, I've also recently become intrigued by the prospect of using portable batteries for purposes of convenient cooking, while physically in unconventional places outside of my home. So this appliance met its potential in two of my interest areas, serving to distract me from my otherwise dull and meaningless life. Having cooking appliances that function off-grid is something that presents an ideal level of freedom for any extremely mobile human like me, without sacrificing the creature comforts of ordinary civilization. After spending a good part of my life traveling by land, sea, and air for work, then arriving to work in some unforgivingly remote environment all by myself, over time I learned the value of being conveniently equipped as it directly corresponded to my well-being, not just to my comfort. Rather than preparing and cooking meals like a caveman, I've always sought alternatives, since my diet was essential to good health, which in turn, was essential to my safety in those remote places. Most often, I was wholly self-reliant in these remote environments in the past. Now in my golden years, I'm traveling for fun. Using the same transportation and vehicles as before for work, I still spend much time on the road, then off-road, or off-off road. I am always transported by vehicles designed for the terrain, vehicles not exactly designed for remote living, and which can travel to more than a few places a typical RV could not. Only in most recent years has reality become for me, "I'm home wherever I am." I've learned to live as a nomad but to do so mostly in comfort. I use this specific appliance on a 300-watt River 2 to boil eggs, steam vegetables, poach eggs, reheat, and in a pinch serve as a tiny slow hotplate/warmer. Cleanup is a snap. And for those of you having a good chuckle about an old man boiling eggs out in the middle of the Great Basin desert, for your information, while out there I also surf the internet and watch streaming movie channels too, sometimes inside of my solar-panel-powered, air-conditioned tent space, with its four-inch memory foam mattress, desk, chair, remote kitchen, dining space, and 24" TV. I also have a portable hot water induction shower, as well as two solar panels and a small trolling motor's lithium battery to sustain my portable freezer/fridge, altogether weighing less than 50 pounds. The fridge holds food like eggs, and frozen items for one person, for at least two weeks, but unlike coolers, the battery keeps it running all the time wherever it goes. I go where my backcountry vehicles can take me, but I eat and prepare regular food. I have grown less fond of primitive camping through the years, especially of sleeping on the ground and eating unhealthy foods, and so recent leaps of technology have enabled many new remote creature comforts. To me, having low-watt, realistically battery-capable, and/or solar appliances and modern conveniences, enables me to enjoy living in such a way as my moving to my ideal remote environment, but doing so with minimal disruption to my comfort or routine. For the time being the key to all of that for me is energy efficiency, so this little gadget fully fits a versatile bill. While this might be the strangest egg cooker review you'll ever read, in the right hands this little egg cooker is a low-watt, lightweight, cooking dynamo. As for its battery consumption, like all heating appliances, it starts high and then drops for the longest part of the timed cooking duration. The cooking cycle for boiled eggs is the same on AC or battery, about 20 minutes. Closed dome the appliance consumes 287 watts peak, 48 to 96 varying average. On a basic, fully charged, pure sine wave, 300-watt battery source, it will consume about 36% per closed dome, 20-minute cycle, providing 2 to 3 full uses before full battery depletion. If you're only looking for a great little lightweight and effortless way to boil eggs, this appliance does that exceedingly well too. I highly recommend it.

The product works well and is much faster than getting a whole pot of water to a boil which means less water use too. Egg smell while cooking carried by steam seems to intensify the odor but it’s not that overwhelming. We used it to make soft boiled eggs and they came out perfectly done. However, we used it to make them again and did not remove the eggs immediately from the cooker and they continued to cook until they were hard boiled (still ate them though 🙂). It shuts off automatically and has an audible ring sound when cooking cycle is complete. It’s nice that you can choose up to 7 eggs for full steaming capacity or just do 1 egg for a quick snack. Easy clean up and all the parts stack and store inside the lid when you store it away.

Very easy to use and quicker than using the stove. Eggs come out perfect every time. It’s small and easy to store away.

Splendid & inexpensive device, and makes lovely fluffy, small 2-egg omelettes, though I found I needed significantly more water than it says to cook it. Just mix two eggs, a few very small cubes of ham & onion, salt & pepper, top with a small amount of grated cheese and let 'er go. Makes great poached eggs and of course soft or hard boiled.Turns itself off once the water is gone, but one thing that could be better is if it was a soft switch rather than a mechanical rocker switch, so you didn't have to remember to flip it off before putting it away. Also would be nice if it had a bell to signal when done.

This was fun! After reading the instructions I loaded in the water and 7 eggs and 20 minutes later, voila! I had perfect hard boiled eggs. It was easy to use, stores neatly with our compact DASH Waffle Iron, and DASH Mini Maker Electric Round Griddle. I didn't realize DASH had a similar egg cooker, but this one is just fine. Cooking mini is easy and fun with these small helpers!

I didn’t think I needed an egg cooker, but my husband bought it for me. Oh my goodness! This is a tremendous little appliance, and my new must have! When I cook eggs in it they peel like a dream whether they are hot or cold! It is so simple to use. The eggs are cooked perfectly and self timed. I DID need an egg cooker!!!

This egg maker is a great buy. Super quiet & beeps when done. It is compact & very easy to use and store. Making hardboiled eggs is a snap! Recommend

I owned the Dash egg cooker, but when it broke, I decided to give this egg cooker a chance, since it had some features that my previous one didn’t, like the integrated handles on the sides of the egg tray. I love the machine except for a couple of major issues - first, the measuring cup. My old egg cooker had the measurements etched onto the plastic cup. This brand has them printed on. When you wash the cup, the printing gets washed away. So now I can’t read the lines that tell me how much water to add.The second issue is that the unit does not shut off automatically when the timer goes off. You need to flip off the switch by hand, or it will keep on cooking. It’s fine if I’m standing nearby when it goes off, but the chime isn’t particularly loud or irritating like the Dash version, so I’ve ended up with overcooked eggs on several occasions. Given that this product is made to make cooking perfectly timed eggs easy, these two design flaws are pretty major. They aren’t deal breakers, but something that buyers should be aware of.

c'est un produit que j'adore

Buen producto aunque pienso que el plástico debe de ser libre de bpa, al hacer huevos en el accesorio de plástico ….

I am not good about cooking. I can cook but I don't like the amount of time prep takes, the amount of time you have to wait doing nothing other than stirring/watching it and I don't like the clean up... it all sucks time out of my day when I could be doing productive "things". I resort to snacking, some of it healthy like raw vegetables, some of it not so healthy like potato chips. This is all relevant to to describing just how easy this egg cooker is.I work from home and in my work area is a bar that we use as a coffee/tea bar. This egg cooker is tiny, smaller than a 4 slice toaster yet it fits 7 eggs (if doing boiled eggs), you can do less, I usually eat 2 at any given time.When I got it, the first test was hard boiled eggs for egg salad sandwiches. I figured I would have to set a timer but this egg cooker cooks by steam and times itself by how much water you put in (amounts in instructions that came with it, measuring cup included). When it detects there is no water left, it auto shuts off. One thing to note here is that there is a little experimentation required for how much water you put in for your desired softness/hardness. I am 2,200 ft above sea level so the given water amounts are not enough and I have to add extra. Eg the soft boil water amount for me leaves the whites of the egg cooked(white) but still very "liquidy" in places.Second test was the next day: Poached eggs on toast. Went very well, do remember to throw some butter/marg/cooking oil into the bottom of the poacher pan. The poacher and omelette pans/bowls are very glossy plastic but my egg stuck enough that it wouldn't just flip out of the poacher (because I forgot the dab of butter). That being said, the remaining egg just wiped out with a paper towel leaving the pan ready for washing..This is so easy, it's quick and I can work at my desk during the cooking until I hear the beep that it is done. Clean up is washing a small tiny pan that doesn't require scrubbing (if I did poached eggs or omelettes) and wiping down/drying the cooker. A process that takes less time than making my cup of tea in my one cup tea maker so I just start my tea, do the clean -up and my tea is just finishing when I am done, perfect!. All parts stack stack inside the cooker, including the measuring cup, when not in use (let it cool down first).This is worth the space it takes up! Which is saying something when it comes to kitchen stuff (thinking about the rice cooker, air fryer, turkey pan that is used 2X a year etc).

Excelente producto pero es importante leer las instrucciones para que los huevos te salgan.

This product makes the best hard boiled eggs I've ever eaten. Each one perfect and easy to peel. You can also poach or scramble your eggs. Compact, easy to use and clean. Well worth the investment.
