With this egg boiler breakfast eggs succeed easy! It does not just pleasing to the eye and well finished out (in 2008 even with the Red Dot Design Award), but does what it promises! The optimum for us adjust the hardness regulator was found equal to the 2nd time, it is not measuring the water needed and the residual water of the egg cooker is also in hard water wildfire clean. Another plus is the snap-lid, which you can open with the side handle without burning your fingers. Only the handle of the egg holder is quite warm, but this is so common. That there is no device for Kabelaufwickeln, does not bother me, you can leave the cable so tied together, as supplied. The beep that sounds when the eggs are ready to be cooked is normally noisy and its series of beep tones is not so pervasive as a long loud noisemakers or annoying like the chirping of Severin EK 3051 Egg Boiler white. Would not hesitate to buy it again!
