I couldn't be happier with the Egg and Muffin Toaster! IT is awesome! I use the "Better'n Eggs" pur it right in and tear up my sandwich, less than 5 minutes laterCustomer Review: AWESOME....then it will break.
Summary: 2 Stars
I really enjoyed this product... while it lasted. Sadly the old adage "you get what you pay for" applies. It lasted for 7 glorious egg mc muffin-like months THEN it just stopped working. The warranty had expired and I could no longer enjoy the egg goodness. I thought it was unusual and possibly a fluke but after some research I found out that this products failure is quite common. I contacted the company to no avail they did/would not reply. SO in conclusion, great idea, terrible implementation. Oh and USE NON-STICK SPRAY! The low price clearly does not allow for teflon.Customer Review: AWSOME

I have made my husband the happiest man alive when I turned his boring breakfast cereal eating days into an exciting breakfast experience! One thing run toasting cycle first before you toast anything or you will get a weird plastic smell. The smell wears of after the first toasting cycle.
#1 it cooks egg Mcmuffins to perfection
#2 clean up is sooooo easy
#3 it offers a variety of other dishes to be made!
So what if the meat from heating tray drips off onto the food. I am a cook and know that this gives it much more flavor! If you are concerned just pat the poached egg with a paper towel (easy).
Recipes I have come up with:
1. Try havarti cheese instead of cheddar and put some steamed spinach on top of the egg, yummy, use with English muffin or croissant.
2. Try smoked turkey breast deli slices for lower fat, cheddar cheese and spread raspberry jam on the bottom of the English muffin.
3. Try Cheese whiz over an opened faced English muffin instead of hollandaise sauce.
4. Try an opened faced egg sandwich, use cheddar cheese, sausage patty and poached egg
and pour sausage gravy over top.
If you want a low fat cheese try a soy pepper jack found at Giant. MMM much lower fat!
The recipes are And much easier and cleaner too!!!
Customer Review: AWSOME TOASTER!

Summary: 2 Stars
For $29.99 at the time, I was very happy with the toaster. I used an demo'ed it a couple times, with toast, poached eggs, hardboiled eggs, and bfast sausage. All came out great and even.
However, tried to turn it on this morning and, like many other reviews noted, the egg portion wouldn't heat up any more.
I read some horror stories about replacement issues, but I must say the customer service (the number is in the book) was wonderful. I spoke with Maggie and she had me setup with a replacement in under 3 minutes flat.
I'll come back and update this review after I get some use out of the replacement hopefully.
