Our brilliant 40 year old egg boiler died - this has been waiting in the wings for some years. It has no buzzer (a dealbreaker for me) just a light going off at the end of the cooking time that is suprisingly hard to tell if you aren't watching it.Egg holder indentations for the eggs too shallow so they can fall over easily. Egg pricker is too fat and blunt so liable to crack the eggs. The water measure shows the same quantity for any number of eggs - proper boilers use less water for more eggs as less volume of empty lid to fill with steam. So disappointed - needs a total redesign.

The last 30 years I have had egg cookers some from Lakeland with no problems. I was excited when the new Lakeland egg cooker made poached eggs. However my other machines had a buzzer & went off when the eggs were ready & were always perfect. This one does not. It has a blue light which turns off when the eggs are ready but its hard to tell if it has gone out. The poacher is useless, it either over or under cooks the eggs, the same problem with the boiled eggs. When the water runs out the plate burns. The pin is too blunt & has broken several eggs. This is a cheaper version & more expensive.

I have used this product for both boiled and poached eggs. We like medium boiled eggs and I can honestly say that for the first time ever in my life, the eggs were cooked to perfection in this cooker. The poached eggs were equally well cooked. Now to try cooking scrambled eggs in it. For something so small, it has been the perfect buy. So much so, my daughter wants one. I would highly recommend it.

bought as a gift for family member, they loved it so now they all want one . this is the third one that we have bought

Seen cheaper versions only to do just boiled when this one does omelette & poached as well plus water saving too. You won't regret getting this beauty ☺
