I am an experienced cook and sometimes my husband and I enjoy having breakfast sandwiches for dinner with tater tots. Prior to getting this sandwich maker, the process of making these sandwiches included cooking sausage patties or whatever meat was used, cooking the eggs (often with diced onions and green peppers added to the eggs), having cheese slices ready, and toasting the English muffins. Then the sandwiches had to be assembled before everything got cold. This process really wasn't a big deal, but when I discovered this breakfast sandwich maker, I had to try it. I figured it was well worth the cost if it made the process easier and faster.
Still, I was skeptical since there are so many appliances available to accomplish specific tasks that can be done without having to store another appliance. I tried this sandwich maker for the first time tonight, and I have to say I was impressed with the results, but have ideas for improvements I will explain later.
Tonight, I made two sets of sandwiches. For the first set, I precooked breakfast sausage patties, did not toast the English muffins and did not butter them. I diced onions, green peppers, and tomatoes that were added on top of the egg for cooking, and used Monterey/jack cheese. So, after the preheat, put in the bottom muffin, cheese on top, and then the sausage patty. Closed the level for the egg, added the egg, diced onion, diced green pepper, and diced tomato, and then topped with the English muffin. For the second set, I toasted the English muffin on a bagel setting and buttered both halves. I put the cheese on the bottom toasted and buttered muffin, and diced ham on top of the cheese instead of a sausage patty. I cooked both sets for 5.5 minutes and allowed the cooker to preheat after the first set.
Both sets of sandwiches were good, but what I found was:
1) Toasting and buttering of the English muffin really didn't make much of a difference other than the outer side of the muffin was browner and the cheese was a bit fried.
2) The egg on both sandwiches was negligible. It seemed to be absorbed by the upper muffin.
I do tend to challenge appliances to the limit and have ideas I will try next time. Although the instructions say to limit the egg size to 1 medium to large egg. I used an x-large egg for all sandwiches and still had plenty of room after adding the diced onion, bell pepper, and tomato. I plan to try using two eggs since there was no problem adding the diced veggies. I think a visible layer of egg may be better with more egg. In addition, I will try letting the egg set before putting the top muffin on top. By putting the muffin on top of the raw egg, the muffin absorbed part of the egg, hence no noticeable layer of egg. Next time, I won't bother toasting the muffins since it was toasted fine in the cooker, and buttering the muffins only added more fat and no benefit.
In conclusion, I believe this cooker is well worth the price as it saves time in making breakfast sandwiches and does a good job in making them. This is one of the appliances that does not have to be limited to the intended use. The breads you use and the ingredients in the sandwiches are left to your imagination. I am still experimenting, and will update this review when I find more uses, better ways to use this appliance, or if my opinion changes.
I hope this review is helpful for you.

Efficient and easy cleanup
This 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. ***
