Bought this as my 4yr old daughter has just discovered soft boiled eggs and loves them. Have used around 2 dozen eggs of the size specified in the instructions everything comes out hard boiled. Found the measuring cup differs in the recommended volume compared to what's printed on the unit. Going to take it back and request a refund.

It turned out to be rubbish the tweeter was so low you had to have your head next to it to hear it and I have had it a few months and it won't heat up any more, I put it on and all you hear is this low tweeting and nothing else

This is the first time I have done a review and normally wouldn't worry.... I was looking for the instructions online as I too have never been able to get a soft boiled egg and read some of these reviews. I even sat here and measured the cup levels to make sure they were correct....my daughter loves soft bolied eggs and I am continually disappointing her. Eggs are so healthy for growing kids and this glitch aside, this brilliant little machine would be used twicek a day in my house!! Breville, I don't expect a refund as I have had the product for almost 2 years, but if you can tell me how to get a soft boiled egg I would be so grateful!

Have used it several times and tried unsuccessfully with every item. have to wait quietly to hear a very short, weak buzzer. Has not once cooked the egg correctly, whether boiled, poached or as omelette. Quite unsatisfactory.
I bought the item on the reputation of Breville products, and am so disappointed.

This product is a gamechanger. I use it for hardboiled eggs and they come out perfectly everytime. I also use it to steam my veggies. Its foolproof. easy to clean just wipes with a damp cloth. uses minimal water.
Probably the most used item in my kitchen besides the kettle!

I was very disappointed with the results after using this product. I tried cooking soft boiled eggs and soft poached eggs a number of times but ended up with hard yolks every time. I tried adjusting the amount of water but without success. I will be returning the product for a full refund.

This is a great item - very handy not to have to watch the stove to see when the water boils and then put a timer on - you just put it on and it lets you know once it is done. I use it everyday for my breakfast and am very impressed.

I have fresh eggs from my own chickens so the eggs don't get chilled. So no matter what amount of water you use they never never cook how you want them. Today I am off to get a sunbeam egg cooker which doesn't look as good on the bench. However it cooks eggs that have not been chilled perfect to the guide.

I like my Breville Egg creations. Makes life so much easier and reminds me that I have something cooking with the buzzer. I always used to forget the eggs on the stove and would drive me insane. This is exactly what I wanted.

I like hard boiled eggs, this product does hard boiled eggs very, very well and it's really simple to use, yes it has a loud buzzer but I'd rather that than burn my house down, it makes sure you go and turn it off, like now, not later, hard boiled eggs cook perfectly with no green tinge and having to put them in cold water I always cook 7 eggs at a time, measure the water in the container provided, pierce the eggs and away you go, excellent so simple and virtually no clean up afterwards, just wipe lid tray and base unit, simple :)
Simplicity and perfect hard boliled eggs
nothing is wrong with it if you read the instructions

I am so disappointed with this product. The measurements for cooking time are so inaccurate. I love soft poached and boiled eggs. I have ended up with either raw eggs or boiled so hard that they are inedible. Perhaps over time I may be able to adjust my measurements but I am not holding my breath. My old sunbeam egg maker was way better!
It's compact and easy to clean
Measurement cup will not produce desired soft eggs. No 'medium' measurement.

We were given this Egg creations egg maker so that we could make perfectly soft boiled eggs each time. However after following the instructions they were over cooked. We wrote to breville and they gave us some tips on adjusting the water and we eventually got it right. Now we can cook eggs perfectly and easily each time with as little mess as possible and so much more quicker than having to boil water on the stove first. Highly recommended
Great little egg cooker! No mess, easy to use, easy to clean. Cute looking unit
Suggested measurements are not accurate. Took us 4 attempts to get perfect soft boiled eggs

I have found this to be excellent value in the kitchen. The eggs come out exactly as I like them, each and every time. I don't use it that often, but when I do, its been quick, clean and easy.
Easy to use, quick and clean and perfect eggs every time.
Nothing that I can see yet.

i love soft boiled eggs and this makes them so easy to make and once you prefect it you will use it all the time, its also very easy to clean
this is so great for me as i could never get the eggs right when boiling in water so this makes things so easy, it is easy to use, very easy to clean, takes no time and you get the perfect eggs everytime
the only thing is that there are different size eggs therefore different cooking times so experiment with it and you will perfect the perfect soft boiled eggs in no time

We found this messy and eggs usually erupt like a volcano. Easier to use a saucepan. Hard to peel them too. We ended up packing and donating this.
Hmm... Does poached eggs alright.
When trying to boil eggs, it's not as clean as we hoped.
