Summary: A true value
Comment: Our complete family is very pleased with this toaster/poacher.
Toaster:
Bread is perfect and even every time.
The Egg Poacher:
This is the part that is a wow factor. I can make a single egg soft to medium in no time and all. Or you can soft to hard boil 4 at a time in the shell in 4 to 6 minutes. Also when you cook eggs can warm up pre-cook meat or fresh fish like salmon. The meat and fish are nicely steamed.
Clean up:
The unit is easy to clean up after cook egg(s) and meat/fish.
Suggestion:
When making eggs and toast at the same time. Let the egg(s) get half done then press cancel. Put you toast, muffin or bagel in and pick combo mode. This will let have these done about same time egg completes.
This is a great gift idea for Christmas. This is one gift that you know family and friends will enjoy getting.
Also look at this product for a great start to your day.

Summary: Really Clever Design
Comment: OK - Every where you go, you can find a great review on this toaster, so seemed like low risk. Much to my surprise (after a few days) this thing seems to meet expectations. When they fail, people rush out to buy the same one again. Now I know why.
Here is exactly what you need to know:
Pro
* A sheet metal plate is in front of the filament wires - so the wires are protected and the heat is very even. You don't see them glowing red. It provides fairly even heat. So yep, this makes really excellent toast.
* The egg cooker/steamer is really easy to use and works really well. If you use veg oil spray on the egg pan, it just pops right out on to your sandwich. Pretty funny when you think about it - a toaster that cooks eggs, too. As a fellow inventor, it must have been interesting to convince a company to invest in this sort of gadget with a straight face.
* You can steam precooked sausage patties. We use Morning Star breakfast patties - they are veg but you'd never know it and they are really tasty.
* The combo egg/toast setting also works well, and like they say, they all the gets done at about the right time.
* The manual is small but the English is is very well written and instructions clear.
* Comes with little measuring cup with poker to puncture eggs so you can hard boil them.
* The cooking time is dictated by how much water you put in the egg cooker. 2 Tablespoons or so is about right. You can perfect it.
Con
* Slots may be too small for larger craft breads.
* When you push up on lever, it lifts toast out of toaster. But it doesn't push toast up far enough for smaller slices.
* The egg pan might not be perfectly level causing the yolk to shift to one side - but - you can level it by bending the handle of the pan up or down (just bend it small amount at a time) until it is perfectly level.
That's about it! 4 stars.
