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.

I received and used this cutie yesterday. I got the red, and it looks awesome with my retro kitchen colors. It's a little thing, and cute. I got the 7-egg version - it's for one, so it's perfect to have the eggs ready to use for a week's salads or lunches. I only tried the hard-boiling part, but i'll try the poaching soon, for sure.No mess, no bother - i dislike having to check a boiling pot's water level to make sure all the eggs are covered, I don't like heating the kitchen in summer, and i like even less the rolling around. Because you can't be sure that the eggs are all evenly cooked at the same time. I use it on a trivet on the counter. It takes no more room than my cake plates. Get it, it's fun and it works great. So far..I made a batch for 14 deviled eggs at one go. Follow directions, and you get an easy peel, no green around the yolks, and a perfect texture. The beep when it's done is handy for me because i don't need to stick around watching it.

I’ve used it twice so far and the eggs have come out perfect. Works well. However the bottom part where you add the water burns. Not sure if that’s normal. It does wash off when cleaned so no big deal. Worth the price!

I use this egg cooker twice a week. It is so easy to use and cooks my eggs to perfection. I highly recommend it. I let it beep twice before I unplug it then I give my eggs a nice ice bath.

I really liked it, it's very practical and useful, and the eggs are delicious and quick

Wow!!! What a great invention. I would recommend this little cooker to anyone that loves hard boiled eggs. I have steamed 7 eggs at a time to perfection. For the first time in my life I have been able to peel the eggs without destroying the egg whites. The easy peeling works whether the eggs are warm or cold. It works EVERY single time. My family loves deviled eggs so it is a great treat for me. No more mess, less work! I'll take that any day.

it worked well, cooked eggs nicely but the bottom plate started oxidizing and corroding after a few uses, pretty quiet machine, very easy to use
