- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2025Color: SilverSize: TimerVerified PurchaseThis machine works great. The process is simple, add muffin bottom, meat, egg and muffin top, select desired minutes settings and you are off to the races. It cooked evenly, the top and bottom muffin were perfectly toasted for the settings I chose. I got no leakage from the back as some reviews have mentioned. Cleanup was really quick and easy. Overall this machine is incredibly easy to use and I made 8 sandwiches in a short period. I gave them to my friends and every one of them said they were impressed. For the price, this is a solid machine. I would suggest it to anyone who likes breakfast sandwiches and I may even use it a part of my meal prep.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2024Color: SilverSize: TimerVerified PurchaseThis little machine is a time saver. It preheats quickly, and only takes 4-5 minutes to cook the sandwich. It's super easy to use and leaves little to no mess after it's done. You plug it in, let it preheat, when the green light turns on that means it's preheated. You add the bottom of the English muffin, place your cheese/meats/veggies on top, you pull down the top cylinder, slide in the egg tray, add the egg and then place the top half of the english muffin on top of the egg, close it and set the timer on the device and it beeps when the timer hits zero to let you know it's finished. Then you unplug it to stop it from heating (it does not automatically turn off when timer hits zero), then you slide out the egg tray and lift the two cylinders up and viola! You now have a perfectly cooked breakfast sandwich! Side note, in case you are curious, you need to add precooked meats to it, not raw meats. Bacon, ham and sausage all have precooked variants at the grocery store which will expedite the cooking process for you because you don't need to preheat it or cook the meat prior to cooking which will save time and reduce the cleanup afterwards. Egg leakage was minimal, and I'm pretty confident they little that came out it was from me feeling the need to adjust the tray while it was cooking. The only leakage I noticed was from using oil spray on it. The oil dripped when I lifted the top cylinder. It said to use the oil lightly if you did choose to use it, I definitely didn't use it lightly so that's more of a me issue. It's the perfect size machine, not too big and it's lighter than expected, so it's pretty easy to store away etc. The instruction manual is self explanatory, super easy to understand and gives you some trouble shooting advice incase you mess up somehow and it doesn't turn out how you anticipated. The only way I could see it not properly cooking the food is if you didn't let the machine preheat and you didn't set a timer. And again. I want to emphasize it's super easy to clean, the metal cylinders are also dishwasher safe. I would absolutely recommend this product for those who want a quick hot breakfast with very little cleanup required. And two recommended sauces, Cajun majo or salsa goes great with the egg sandwich and the best cheese to use with this is finely shredded mild cheddar! That's just my personal opinion though. Some people said it smells... I think that's probably because they didn't clean it before first use. I cleaned mine prior to using it and i don't smell anything. It functions well for what it is. And side note, if you have marble counters like I do, you may want to skip the spray oil or make sure it's a very small amount, because oil will destroy marble counters if you don't clean it instantly. The device is all non stick material so you really don't even need to use a non stick spray. Hope this helps!!! :)
**Review update on 10/6/24, I've been using this daily. Still no leaks or issues and I've experimented with different English muffins and different meats etc and its made the sandwich perfectly each time. I do recommended toasting the English muffins first before putting them in this machine. But it will make it regardless it's just a matter of preference on how toasted you want the muffin. ***

**Review update on 10/6/24, I've been using this daily. Still no leaks or issues and I've experimented with different English muffins and different meats etc and its made the sandwich perfectly each time. I do recommended toasting the English muffins first before putting them in this machine. But it will make it regardless it's just a matter of preference on how toasted you want the muffin. ***

I tried it this morning and it was fairly easy, not difficult setting up the ingredients, cook time was 5 minutes for dual sandwiches and a single sandwich. Plate slides out easily using a small pot holder for assistance. I swirled a small plastic spatula around the outer inside of the egg plate and everything nicely slid together. My only thought might be a different design for the way the plates are attached to the machine, possibly fit down into the groves and then slide over that way they aren’t so easy to pop out of the groves. All in all it’s a good product, priced right, and tasted like a McDonald’s Egg McMuffin only at home with all fresh real ingredients.

I decided to write this review because this sandwich maker really outperforms my overall expectations. The attached videos are informative and accurate. I have used this to make about twenty breakfast sandwiches thus far and the only time things didn't work out were due to my errors. The total time from initial preheat, (3 minutes) to tasty breakfast is 8-12 minutes depending on your ingredients and tolerance for heated food. The egg can spill over some but the cleaning has been minimal. I have not had a sticking issue but I use a spray to make sure. I find a pair of silicone coated tongs work well to remove my sandwiches rather than a spatula. If you put meat in, the level may tilt and the egg may not spread evenly. It will cook but may leak through to the bottom. Again, not difficult to clean up. I have not used bacon, oooh, bacon!?! but I would not be surprised to see a greasy mess. I would probably use leftover bacon rather than fresh bacon. On that note, you MUST use cooked meats in this appliance. Most bacon is cured but will release a lot of grease.
If I were to make an improvement, it would be to include an auto shut off. You need to be attentive to prevent an issue, but since I am usually hungry as a bear in the morning, I am drooling as I wait to hear that beep-beep saying it's breakfast time!!
This is an inexpensive alternative to a drive-thru and will require as much time out of your day as waiting in line. Plus, you can make your coffee, or whatever you do, while you wait. unlike sitting in your car listening to traffic reports. LOL.
Bottom line, if you are here, you want a way to make an easy breakfast. This is it, if you want an egg based sandwich. Dead short technology has been around way too long for there to be issues related to electrical reliability. I believe user care and the design which eliminates the potential to contaminate the circuitry from normal use is far more important than brand name on such a basic appliance. I wrote this review because I would buy it again for the same price, even if it fails within a few years. Why? Because it would most likely be my fault if it fails. For the small price compared to the drive -thru alternative, my break even is less than 10 trips to the clown show.

5.0 out of 5 stars works great
Color: SilverSize: TimerVerified Purchasehard to find machine. they sell out all the time because they work. the dual feature is great if you want 2 or if you have more than one person who wants one. can also use it just for eggs if you want perfect round ones. very easy to use and cleans fast with just a wipe down

5.0 out of 5 stars Really good kitchen gadget
Color: SilverSize: TimerVerified PurchaseSo I have my share of kitchen gadgets. They almost always end up in the basement or the garbage. I really like this breakfast sandwich maker, so hoping it does not suffer the same fate. If you use a tiny bit of cooking spray and spread it with a paper towel there is really no clean up other than wiping it down with a slightly soapy cloth and repeating with a clean moist cloth.
The sandwiches are great. Really tasty and unlike a fast food place you can choose to add salt or not. I'd say you can make this breakfast sandwich as healthy as you want to be. One thing I would say is that the maker basically fuses the sandwich together so if you want ketchup or any other topic you need to add it at the beginning as I think you would make a mess to break apart the sandwich to add toppings I find 4.5 min cooking time is best.
