This cooker replaced a Cuisinart egg cooker I've had for years and disliked because it bubbled water out of the base onto the countertop whenever I hard cooked eggs. This Hamilton Beach cooker DOESN'T do that! There's only one small thing about it that I dislike, but first the positives:
*It cooks eggs perfectly. Every morning I poach two extra-large eggs; the instructions are for large eggs and recommend adjusting the amount of water for for larger or smaller eggs. I tried adding just a bit more water the first time and found it overcooked the whites a bit; the second time (and every time since) I've added the amount of water it recommends for two large eggs and they've been PERFECT.
*I have tried hard cooking eggs--following the instructions exactly--and they turned out just as I wanted without being either overcooked or undercooked. The instructions don't specify piercing the eggs before they're hard cooked, even though there is a piercing point on the bottom of the measuring cup, but I didn't take any chances and pierced my eggs before I cooked them.
*I have EXTREMELY hard water, and I found crusty mineral deposits were already occurring on the base after a couple of uses. My recommendation is to use filtered water in the base, and since it has somewhat of a non-stick surface, a wipe with a a soft, wet cloth is all the clean-up that's required. Likewise, the insert for hard cooking eggs (egg holder) is very easy to clean (the Cuisinart insert was filled with small nooks and crannies that after a while NEVER came clean even in the dishwasher, and were impossible to get into even with a toothbrush). The instructions for the Hamilton Beach cooker are that the poaching tray and egg holder are top-rack dishwasher safe. The egg holder is plastic and would be fine, but the poaching tray is metal with a non-stick surface, and even the best dishwasher soaps eventually scour those surfaces to death. I found the poaching tray comes clean easily with a swish of soapy water and a quick rinse.
*When eggs have finished cooking, the Hamilton Beach has a constant alert tone (as opposed to a beep) that is like a faint shriek, but it's not overly loud. I can hear it from another room even with the TV on, which I consider a good thing, but I don't find it deafening or irritating, even in close proximity.
Now for the one negative caveat: the measuring cup is ridiculously difficult to read, especially after water is added, when the measurements seem to vanish because of the refraction caused by the water. The measurement gradients are lightly molded into the cup rather than printed on, which was a mistake. However, that's a very small problem that's easily overcome: I saved the measuring cup from my Cuisinart cooker, used the HB cup one time to determine how much water I needed, poured it into the Cuisinart measuring cup to see where it came to, and ever after I've used that as my guide.
Other than that one small thing, I think this is a GREAT little cooker which delivers on nicely cooked eggs every time I've used it. I recommend it!

Knob is JUNK! Love the cooker.
If they would just FIX the KNOB on the poaching tray!!! I hate to give it a 3 star just because of a knob, but it really does lower the value significantly. If they fixed the knob it would be 5 star, no heasitation! Works perfect every time. Once you figure out the number you like you can have eggs exactly how you like them every day. They do get a small ding for not having an omlette tray like so many others, that would be nice, but like I said, that's small... the HUGE issue is the dumb knob!We have gotten two of these, I purchased one for my mom (who LOVES it, except for the knob on the poaching tray). My son lived with my mom for a bit, when he moved out he bought one. Same issue. Moms happened quickly enough that it was under warranty & they replaced the entire tray, but that knob did the same thing. First it shrinks a bit & gets loose, so you have to continually re-tighten it, then it gets to the point where you cannot tighten it anymore and it starts cracking ALL OVER (see images).The sad thing is that I sent a different brand to my daughter and she hated it - it was inconsistent and a pain to clean because it had plastic poaching trays (almost all the others have plastic trays vs. non-stick like this one). I figured we'd keep dealing with the knob... but it's become a balancing act to get the tray out! I finally put a wider screw in (AFTER it was all cracked up like this, no, my larger screw didn't cause the cracks) and tightened it VERY GENTLY to try and snug it up - but it's still cracking more and wiggling - time after time, cooker after cooker - its so sad to have the BEST machine and have it be a fail because of the knob! I've read so many other reviews & found the things others get complaints about this machine excels at - but it's so worthless if you cannot get your eggs off the machine and to a plate safely.PLEASE FIX THE KNOB ISSUE - or make them available to purchase for the pennies they cost - I'd order a dozen and just replace them when they go bad. Instead they charge half the price of the cooker to replace the entire tray with the knob. The tray didn't break, the knob did - over & over, in every cooker we've gotten! PLEASE, please, PLEASE fix this!
