We had bought this egg cooker, because we !! the same model for 20 years had. The old one was not actually broken, only the coating has somewhat suffered for such a long time. In the new went after 3x egg anpicken the Picker broken (the needle slips through). In addition, the coating looks after 3 weeks already bad. She throws tiny bubbles. When I compared the two devices, it occurred to me, that was the old "Made in Germany" and the new "Made in China". Not only that the price had more than doubled in 20 years, the quality has greatly diminished. We will claim the new egg cooker and use our old again until he gives up the ghost, perhaps in another 20 years.
Schade Krups, even when you seem to go profit before quality or why let China in assembling such a botch? Because I can buy a no-name my device because I'll pay at least not with a name that is no longer worth it.
