Bought to replace the comparable 'VonShef' branded one we previously owned that stopped working one day after about 2 years. I went for this brand as I've had several kitchen products from Salter and they've always been good quality. I paid £13.99 (full price) for mine which was cheaper than the one it was replacing and feels like a good price for a quality item like this.The first thing I'll say is my relief at having PRINTED measurements on the cup! The previous one just had raised markings, making it so hard to see the water level (see comparison pic). This one is far more sensible and, even if the ink wears off in the future, it's still a far better system than the previous.It's developed the brown staining pictured after 2 uses, although I feel like that's to be expected (my other one did exactly the same). I've found using an abrasive cleaner like The Pink Stuff gets rid of it without too much hassle. There was still a trace of water left in the tray (my old one would boil off all the water), which boiled away quickly once I'd taken the lid off. I'm guessing this is designed to limit the build-up of staining over time.The boil function worked great and cooked quicker than I remember my old one doing. We've tried 'soft' and 'hard' eggs (medium size Tesco eggs, if that makes a difference) and both are what you'd expect ('soft' gave a liquid yolk, set white; 'hard' cooked the egg through). Our old one was more of a guessing game, and I found myself having to add more or less water than the designated mark to achieve the result I was expecting. When the eggs were done, the light made an audible 'click' as it switched off, which was enough to alert me as I was in the room at the time.I'm not overly impressed with the poaching function. I 'preheated' the machine in order to melt the butter I had put in the cups, but even with the cups coated in butter, the egg still stuck to them a fair bit. I also had to run the machine through 3 cycles (I used the "medium 1-3 eggs" marking) before they were cooked through. That said, I bought it to boil eggs, the poach function was an added bonus, but one I won't use again as it was too much of a faff.The egg pricker is sharp enough to get through the shells with ease (I know I keep comparing it, but this pin is MUCH easier to use than my old one!); there's no twisting the egg back and forth trying to break through, and it's not sticking out risking pricking your finger. I like that the little handle for the egg tray is removable, it's a nice little design, and it's sturdy when locked in place.Everything fits inside the lid (if arranged as pictured, if your poaching cups are the other way up then it's a squeeze) and all-in-all it's a compact, good quality little cooker.

I picked up the Salter 6-egg electric cooker on 29 May and have been using it for a couple of weeks. It’s made breakfast a breeze:Easy & fast.Six eggs are done in about 10 minutes, and the buzzer turns it off so I don’t have to watch the hob.Good results.Soft, medium, or hard. So far, every batch has turned out just how I wanted.Solid build.The plastic lid and base feel tougher than I expected for the price, and it’s small enough to leave on the counter.Cons!The metal hot-plate gets a cloudy white film after each use. It’s only limescale, but it needs a quick wipe with vinegar to look clean again. A longer power lead would be nice too.Overall, if you want fuss-free boiled eggs, this gadget delivers. Just be ready for a little extra cleaning, and it earns a solid 4 stars from me.

Great little omelette maker! It took 8 minutes rather than 5 - this was based on making two. First was 2 x egg and spinach, and then a Spanish omelette (2 x egg, cheese, ham, spring onion and spinach). They turned out perfectly, fluffy and we thought the size was fine. They didn’t need oil and came out easily with a plastic spatula. Barely anything to clean afterwards either! This is going to get a lot of use in our house whilst dieting.
