A "Special" of WMF egg cooker is certainly not - the discounter around the corner provides a quarter of the price a device that can cook four times as many eggs. For the little one needs only a fraction of the space - in cabinet as on the countertop and is therefore probably often taken out as the Great. When water metering have to experiment a little: You might make a little more noticeable than conventional larger devices in such a small device factors such as water hardness, size and age of the eggs; But we have found after several attempts, the "optimal configuration". The device is working properly without any problems, as described sporadically in other reviews - the housewife just mumbles about the fiddly cord storage on the underside of the appliance, which is why I forgive less an asterisk.
