High quality egg boiler - Worth the cost
I have been using this egg boiler regularly for about a week and I am greatly satisfied with the product. There are a couple of points which are already mentioned in the manual, which needs to be followed strictly in order to have a crack free boiled egg.1. Identify the broader/rounder end of the egg and only pierce this end with the piercer provided. If you pierce the narrow/pointer end, the egg white will leak out while boiling (I verified this for the sake of science).2. Piercing the egg is necessary to avoid cracking due to pressure build up while boiling. It is provided at the bottom of the measuring cup. (Be careful not to pierce your fingers while unpacking as the needle was pointing upwards in the packed box.)3. Use clean drinking water for boiling. This will reduce sedimentation on the heating plate. To clean the plate, pour some white vinegar on the plate and heat it for 5 minutes (don't place the tray and the lid while heating vinegar as I don't know what the effect of hot acidic vapour will be on the plastic). Let the warm vinegar sit for 5 minutes. Wipe clean with soft cloth. Yes it will become perfectly clean. Although the manual recommends once a month, I do it once after two to three times of use in fear of having a permanent residue.I've successfully boiled around 20 eggs (always as hard boiled) and I am very happy with the final outcome.Pros1. Very compact, light weight and easy to carry during travel.2. Build quality is very premium. High quality plastic lid, outer body and egg tray.3. Easily hard boiled 7 eggs in one go. All eggs were perfectly cooked due to uniform steam distribution. Within 15 minutes maximum.4. The tray is provided with handles which allow us to carry the hot eggs safely. The tray is sturdy enough to hold the weight of all the 7 boiled eggs.Cons1. The electrical plug provided is French/German standard. (Pic attached). This means that the earth pin is female. This can pose a safety hazard in the event of an electrical fault in the machine, provided one touches the heating plate while the AC mains is ON. However the rest of the body is plastic, so the risk is low.2. The length of the cable is around 60cm only (in order to reduce wire resistance and voltage drop), so need to have an electrical socket close to a table/platform.3. The push button switch is not auto-off as in kettles. The problem with this is that once the machine auto cut-off occurs (when all the water has evapourated), if the AC mains is still ON, the machine will turn ON automatically after some time, when the temperature of the heating plate reduces. This will cause an unwanted dry heating of the plate till the auto cut-off occurs again, leading to energy waste and coil life reduction. This process keeps on going till either the button is manually pushed off or the AC mains is switched OFF. Hence it is not recommended to leave the machine unattended for more than 10-15 minutes during operation.Verdict - Irrespective of the few cons, I would still recommend this egg boiler for the overall quality and final perfectly boiled egg outputs.

The product marketing is bad
The product marketing tells that there are 3 modes while there is no more. Just on and off button. Poor communication with the product made my worst decision of my entire life.Product is okay, but the expectations were set hence I went with higher price product as compared to other similar products. So what is special about this? Nothing really.

Surprised after discovering this brand
The important that I noticed is how well it was packed. However, the most important thing I noticed is how well built and premium the product is designed at such a cost.1. The main boiler body is sturdy and looks premium with minimal design.2. The plastic tray looks to be of good quality and is not frail.3. The extra steel bowl is very neatly designed and size wise sufficient for a single person.4. The measuring cup markings could have been etched rather than being printed. It might erase after some months. But good detailing.Overall very impressed with the product and the brand itself. Had not heard of it before going by the reviews and buying.Value for money.
