Pros:
Works like it says it will. |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Can only use precooked meat---very hot steam. This product really is great for on the go people or those if us to lazy to accully cook. It works just like it says it will. The eggs come out perfect just like McD's and the toaster toasts without the muffin getting stuck in there. I was worried the "warming tray" wouldn't get the meat hot enough but it does. Pre-cooked meat only, like ham, bacon, ect. But, be cautious of the steam- it is really hot and CAN burn! Overall it's a really cool gadget- worth the $40.

Pros:
Makes Egg Muffins a regular occurance |
|
|
|
Cons:
Can only may one at a time This is the most used kitchen appliance I have. The only thing that stops me is when I run out of eggs.
It makes a wonderful poached egg - anything from soft to hard, depending on the amount of water you put in.
Everything cooks properly - all you need to do is assemble the pieces after you here the toast pop.
Boils eggs to perfection - I love mine soft-boiled, my wife likes them hard.

Pros:
Great idea |
|
|
|
Cons:
The egg sticks and makes a nasty mess I loved mine, but gave it away after the non-stick on the egg pan wore off. I would have to spay with Pam, but even then the eggs would stick.
Not easy clean up at all. Great idea and will purchase another one once the egg pan is improved.

pan needs improvement expect to replace egg pan. I have gone through two pans in a year. I am finally buying a new toaster minus the egg poacher. Great idea, I loved it when I wasn't eating coating with my eggs.

Pros:
Cooks all breakfast items quick and easy clean up! |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Must use non-stick cooking spray and coating peeling off. All and all, this product is a great value. Not only can you make a breakfast sandwich, but you can use it to cook eggs alone or toast alone. If you are looking for a toaster to by, I recommend this one for it's multifunctions. Also it's very easy to clean, wipe it out and maybe every couple of days give it a good wash and it's great. The bad thing about this product is that you absolutely have to use non-stick cooking spray for the egg, otherwise you will not get it out of the pan. Another thing I noticed on mine is the coating on the pan is coming off. Not sure if this is going to be a problem or not. Over all, I recommend this product. My husband puts everything in the toaster and gets ready for work, within 4 mins, it's done, and he can eat his sandwich before he leaves. Don't have to mess with pots and pans, no 2 or 3 different appliances or machines for one sandwich. A good value!

Pros:
Comes out just like an Egg McMuffin |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Don't really have any Once I got the hang of putting the right amount of water in the unit, my eggs came out just right. Our children liked our unit so much, we bought one for each of them. We use it frequently and find it to be of good quality and have had no problems with it so far. It's a good quick way to have a healthy breakfast.

Pros:
Nice all-in-one idea |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Very slow I thought it was a cute idea when I bought it but it takes sooooo long! The toaster function takes forever, especially when you only want to make a piece of toast! I think the eggs come out rubbery and I don't really care for the precooked meat so thats not a big seller for me. It's nice when you use the egg cooker and the toaster at the same time because the toast won't cook before the eggs do so everything is hot all at once. The time is just the big issue. I could make eggs in a pan much faster and a cheaper base model toaster will get the toast done much quicker.

coating on egg poacher came off very easy sent several emails to back to basics and got no reply on how to get a replacement egg poacher(the small frying pan used for the egg). if you use this item daily you will need another one soon or at some point.

Pros:
Simplicity and reliability |
|
|
|
| Cons:
Sometimes I cook it too long I have 34 hens and love fresh eggs. I hate the hassle of scambling eggs in the morning or having to clean up afterwards. This toaster cooks a great egg and couldn't be easier to clean up. It's quick (under 5 minutes) and I use it EVERY day. I highly recommend this toaster to everyone...especially my egg customers.
