Really annoying alarm tone
This is something I use almost daily for making egg sandwiches in the morning, and occasionally hard boiling eggs. The only problem I have with it is the alarm tone is really really annoying to me and I would much rather have a single beep or a click of it turning off automatically, if it was able to do that.

What the reviews say are right: This thing is perfect.
I sat on the idea of buying a dedicated egg cooker for a few months before pulling the trigger. At a mere $30 it wouldn't be much of a loss even on my small income even if the device did not work as well as the reviews claimed.Well let me be one to say: This thing is amazing.Preface: I have only used this to make HARD COOKED EGGS and that isn't going to change any time soon.Let's start with the device. It's pretty small. Smaller than I expected actually. I use large eggs and they fit no problem but jumbo sized ones might not. Come to think of it, I don't know if other sized eggs will cook differently, but I always use large and they always come out perfect.The main device is three different pieces. The heating element on the bottom, the plastic piece in the middle that holds up the eggs over the heating element, and the lid. The egg cooker works by boiling water and steaming the eggs to cook them.Along with that there is a small tube that it comes with. This tube is what you use to measure out the water needed to cook the eggs (the number of eggs changes the amount of water you use) and it is also what you use to pierce the eggs. On the bottom of this is a small pinpoint that you must pierce each egg with. The instructions say to pierce the pointier side of the egg, but reviews say to use the fatter, rounder bottom of the egg instead, which is what I have always done.The cooker itself has two settings. To the right you cook, and to the left you hold. I've never used the "to hold" setting because I always run my eggs under cold water when they are done. When set to cook, the rightward setting, the device buzzes very loudly to let you know they are done once it senses the water has run out.Once my eggs are done I remove the lid, grab the cooker by the handle and a bit of the other side (the eggs are insanely hot, but the plastic is bearable to touch) and run some cold water over them all for a couple of minutes. The eggs will still be pretty toasty but I just toss them in the fridge or eat them right then and there.Cleaning it up is quick and easy. The heating element will usually be a bit dirty for one reason or another but I've never had to do more than take a sponge to it one or two wipes and call it done. Rinse out the plastic that holds the eggs and the lid and let it all dry piece by piece. Everything still looks clean and works great.Now the actual eggs.NEW EGGS OR OLD EGGS, either way, they PEEL GREAT. It's well known that you use older eggs to boil because they peel better but with this little thing there has just been no need so far. The eggs peel great if I'm eating them while they're still warm or if they've been sitting around for a few days.And just to top it all off (and the most important part of all): They are cooked perfectly. Every single time. Just make sure you cool the eggs enough when they are done cooking so they don't KEEP cooking in their own heat.Now for the issues/downsides, which do not take away from the product at all:1) I have had... maybe 2 "weak" egg shells that have not "pierced" properly and instead just crumbled. I felt it coming either way.2) I have had one, single egg not peel well out of many. It happens, but it's very, very rare.3) The device buzzes loudly when done, but does NOT turn off. You need to be there to tend to the eggs to stop them from overcooking.

Update review
Used occasionally since May, 2023. Water measuring cup markings disappeared. Shame on Krupps. But by experimenting with water levels you can steam for soft or hard boiled eggs. I’ve found it best to let eggs sit after it beeps, and is turned off. I can make a very good omelette using two large eggs, 2 T shredded cheese, 2 T milk, 1T dried chives, 1/8 teaspoons cream of tartar, & seasonings. Use water level for omelette, after cooking, let sit for about 5 minutes. Remove from cooker. Serves Two. Krupps needs to fix their problem with the disappearing ink on the measuring cup. I understand Dash does not have this problem.

Disappointed.
I really wanted to like this little appliance, but I've given it over 6 months of nearly daily use -- and I don't. Biggest problem is that the 3-egg poacher tray is SUPER wobbly. It has been since the start--the bottom is not flat and I have tipped it over multiple times. And you have to put it atop the 6-egg hardboiled egg tray, so it is a weird design. Also, since it uses steam to cook, the poached eggs come out with water on top of the cooked eggs, so I have to drain it off before I serve them. Lastly, all the black icons have already worn off of the little plastic cup that is used to add water to the tray. II've never put it in the dishwasher but they wore off anyway. Overall, pretty disappointed. I thought Krups was a decent brand.*******I am further downgrading my review. Along with water sitting on top of the poached eggs, the undersides are super runny. I like runny yokes, but not runny whites. By the time I cook them long enough to set the undersides, the tops are overcooked. I am guessing this is a problem with any steam-based egg poacher. No good alternatives.

Almost.
For hard boiled eggs with a done center, you will need to add more water. Scrambled eggs will be dry probably due to not using butter. I’d say if I had to do it again, I wouldn’t purchase it.
