5.0 out of 5 stars Best Toaster Ever, January 12, 2009

By	D. Willhite (Fort Wayne, IN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I actually saw this presented on TV's "I Want That". And when I saw it, I said "I want that". I read your reviews and was convinced that I have to buy it. I read some reviews that said that they had experienced teflon chipping. Since I have only had this toaster less than a month, it is probably too soon to say whether that is going to happen or not. The biggest surprise was how the toast & eggs were done at the same time. I assumed that the toast or english muffin would pop up first and wait for the egg to finish. They have it so that if the toast/english muffin is done first, that it will revert to a hold & warm position and wait for the egg to finish. When the egg is done, the toast/english muffin pops up and the egg cooker turns off all at the same time. My whole family has used this and loves it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great egg & muffin toaster!, June 15, 2009

By	Martha Wessel "Appliance critic" (Lynnwood, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had never heard of this before I started shopping for a toaster after my last one died recently. I have been fixing poached eggs for myself for a while, since they're such a good source of protein, but it was such a messy cleanup job. I'm thrilled with this new toaster! Even my daughter likes having boiled and poached eggs made in this toaster. I make poached egg sandwiches almost every day with this and it makes them uniformly every time! I just wish that you could toast something separately while the eggs were cooking, but what I've experienced is if you put something in to be toasted while the eggs and muffins are cooking, then it seems to delay the finish time for everything until the last thing put in the toaster is done. That makes the english muffins that were put in first a little over done. But all in all, I love this toaster. I wish it was less expensive. I've only had it about two weeks, but so far it works as good as new!

4.0 out of 5 stars it's great, but doesn't last forever, August 10, 2009

By	robinmarie "robin" (california) - See all my reviews

i love this little thing. it's so perfect for making breakfast because you don't have to stand over a stove waiting... you can set it up and walk away. and since you choose your ingredients it can be as healthy as you want it to be and definitely cheaper than fast food. it does quit working after a while. i would say about six months in, everything but the toaster option quit working. in my opinion... it's still worth it.
