After 26 years, I needed a new egg cooker, because the material fatigued (plastic housing). The Krupps for 3 eggs hit the spot; small and suitable to my kitchen; I liked him immediately and was by Krups, which was a sign of quality for me, in spite of previous recessions, but because of my positive experience with Krups. What good is an egg cooker when the buzzer does not work when there is no pilot light already exists. The first time he buzzed (unmistakable tone) and today? When cooking my Sonntageies I waited in vain for the character. I've tried it, again no sign! So I'm sorry, but it did not work! Perhaps Krups should again produce in Germany or in the EU, because China is certainly too far to guarantee a good QC. Therefore, a star and a greeting to Krups.
