That's where my nope factor ended (it began at getting a one-trick pony item like this in the first place). 10 minutes for ONE slice of toast is ridiculous. You can buy a hotplate or something similar and use a pan that can cook more than just breakfast.
That's not really a problem (you can set stuff up, go take a shower and then it's done when you're out), but there's 100 other appliances that can cook a whole breakfast that do more than just breakfast. 45 dollars is a lot, for just a littler more you could get a cheaper model instant pot and just use the saute function for the toast and be able to cook a ton of other stuff too.
I have one of these, of a different brand, and mine has worked great for 12 years. It also only cost me about $25 at WalMart, and it includes a 24 oz coffee/tea maker. Hands down one of the best appliances I've ever had! I even travel with it to use in hotel rooms! Mine has a 15-minute timer. The trick to making the best use of it is to start the foods in stages. For example, get the griddle and toaster warming, then put the griddle food on, then when it's about halfway cooked put the bread in the oven and start brewing the coffee/tea. That's how everything turns out at the same time. My usual breakfast was to grill some fresh spinach and three or four Little Smokie sausages, then one or two eggs and toast half a bagel and brew a pot of coffee. Sadly, the brewer, after 12 years, is starting to lose some heat, so I recently bought another breakfast station by another brand that is still very compact, but has a griddle and oven that are both twice the size, and I can only hope it does as well!
These things always confuse me..I get it if you don't have a stove... Kind of... But I'd just buy an induction cooker and a pan and make it that way. Before people say what about toast, I do my toast in there sometimes too, like a grilled cheese without the cheese 😁
Multi-items like this always perform multiple tasks poorly. A lot of places that would rent you a room with no kitchen absolutely forbid things like induction cookers or electric griddles. If you're going to sneak using it, the LAST thing you want to cook is something like bacon or sausage which puts out a scent that will fill the building.
I can imagine this working super well with a school dorm. Stick the muffin in for a minute first, then the bacon for a minute, and finally the egg for a full 5 minutes. I might think of giving this to my sister as a college dorm gift. I wish you covered how easy is was to clean because that's a huge factor in buying something like this
I like just making it all in one big pan. No toaster needed. 1. Put a little butter on both sides of the English muffin and put it butter side downn on the pan. 2. Cook up your egg and bacon in the same plan, just lay a piece of cheese on top of the egg if you want 3. Flip that steamy mother of an English muffin over and put everything inside. You'll get a little crispy and a little soft at the same time... very McDonald's
Great video as always! Those things always feel so gimmicky but this one at least comes with a nice glass lid and doesn't look like it will fall apart after a week of use. Cleaning might be a bit of a pain so i feel it must be a rather specific scenario where one would really wanna use this over a pan. Maybe a suggestion: The cleaning/maintenance of the product under test would be something i would really like to be included in future videos. I feel thats something which buyers don't always consider and often a reason why you stop using an appliance after a while.
I must admit I usually dont like gimicky food making gadgets but I bought the Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich maker after your review of it a while back and I friggin LOVE that thing! It's so simple and easy to use and the things you can make with it are DELICIOUS!! I also don't have to get a bunch of dishes dirty in the morning. There's a reason why it has such great reviews....now if only eggs weren't so darn expensive right now lol.
I went to an Asian market today to see if the eggs were cheaper there and they were $9 for a dozen. I swiftly left the store, It's the principle. I refuse to pay that much for a dozen standard eggs.
my daughter was given one when she was about 9 because she loved egg McMuffins. She loved having her own appliance LOL. It was even more basic than the one he just reviewed. I use it for just egg and cheese since I don't eat bread

Nothing like waking up to a dime sized single pancake and 2 half pieces of bacon with warm bread on the side!!!

There is just no way to have eggs, pancake, toast and bacon without dirtying multiple cookware and getting out the toaster.
@@tarstarkusz I cook bacon then pour off the grease leaving a thin film to cook the eggs. I don't care if my bacon isn't sizzling hot when I eat it. Use a piece of paper towel to wipe a portion of pan to put bread on to toast. Not hard. Haha.
I absolutely love your RUclips channel! So educational and you're so professional I absolutely enjoy watching you test items. Keep up the good work you're extremely entertaining in a very positive manner!
That looks like a lot of cleanup. And if the cooker thing itself isn't too bad, remember that you have to cut the bacon in half with something and clean up the cutter and cutting surface
This definitely seems nice and compact, and fairly useful for people who don't have easy access to a stove or much stove space, like living in a dormitory, an RV, or in another country where stoves aren't quite as accessible (assuming you have a plug converter that is). I came this close to living in an apartment with a two burner stove, with both burners relatively small, and frankly had I moved there I probably would have opted for something like this just to have an alternate option for multi surface cooking.
If I did not have a stove, I'd just get either an induction hot plate, or an electric skillet with a lid, and temp control, and just do it that way as they are far more versatile even in a small space like an RV, or small apartment.
After more than 20 years my stove/oven and microwave have both died!! But!! I have a portable Induction cooktop and it works for almost everything. Plus I also have a Breville Convection Oven that is downright amazing!!!
Seems mostly for dorm people who aren't allowed actual stuff like hotplates, microwaves or toasters. If I was to go out camping I would just bring a portable gas stove as it seems it would be much faster, and easier to control. Great video as always!
It’s cute. Looks better than the larger one you’ve tried, as did us. I have been purchasing a few of the mini nostalgia brand (pancake, waffle, and hard-boiled egg maker) all have worked extremely well. As we live in a boat, small is good. Thinking this would work perfect on the boat and no need for pans , toaster or turning on the propane
@@T-Mo_ Good for a college dorm. You can't have hot plates etc in those so this would be perfect. Since microwaves are usually allowed this probably would be ok too I'd think. The Hamilton Beach Sandwich Maker, in my opinion, would be better...unless your child likes sausage &/or pancakes of course.
@@munkustrap2 don't see the logic behind a hot plate ban while allowing this thing. Seems they both have exposed hot areas that could potentially cause a fire unlike a microwave. But if so it could be useful.
a one induction burner and a good pan can replace that completely. You can put bacon, sausage and pancake to cook at the same time, then do your toast, or get a toaster.
If I was using this. i'd put the english muffins on the top for one cycle to toast them and get the plate warm. Then stick them in the drawer to "keep" and maybe add a bit of cheese. then cook the sausage patty in the circle one (like a legit sausage patty) and use the bigger one for a scrampled egg patty. (this is where i'd probably actually put the cheese honestly)
For not much more you can buy a hot plate, pan and toaster. Maybe I can understand saving a little space, but the trade-off is you have a tiny griddle with extremely limited cooking uses. Wanna make a stir-fry? No. Cook a bagel? Only half of it.
I'm surprised how well that thing did. Seriously, it looks like a 1950s Easy Bake _Breakfast_ Oven. But it performed well. For a single guy with limited cooking skills and limited counter-top space, could be worth getting one of those.
Keep in mind what reasonable portions are supposed to be, too. I'd really like to try this, and I have a couple of friends who would probably be interested. One has a birthday coming up soon...
The toaster seems like the worst part of it, a cheap toaster works just fine and you get your two slices. Having to flip your meat half way through also seems to remove a lot of that free time you would get from not standing around to cook, like, what are you going to do with those two minutes?
I stumbled on to your videos. Unfortunately I am an old tart living in a rural part of the country!🧚So watching you, became information and humor!!!(Temu was so so) but OVER ALL DUDE thanks 👍
I'm curious if this could be run off a solar power battery bank, how much energy does two cycles consume? That would be the defining factor for camping with it. Personally I doubt it could run straight off a solar panel...
Another great review James! Everytime I see one of these "Breakfast Maker" contraptions, I always wonder "Who is this designed for?" Lol. I just can't see where the difference between them and an old fashioned stove or oven is. I guess these could be handy in small quarters or for someone that really doesn't like to cook. To each his own I guess, lol.
@@munkustrap2 Except these would technically be banned too. No hot plates or griddles. Though even with a ban the teens in my dorm were surprisingly good at setting their rooms on fire. And flooding them. Great combo.
My flatmate wants a bigger version of this that can cook various things for his room so he can make himself something to eat without disturbing me when I sleep. This tiny one is probably good for really small spaces.
Destined to end up at the back of the bottom shelf where kitchen appliances go into exile when they’re more hassle than utility. It might even meet the Zylis Kitchen Whiz that’s been there since 1973?
When a 'bread' item is really moist, which most e-muffins are, it takes twice as long to toast. Personally I would put the one of the muffin sides up above and instead do back bacon on top of the egg, then flip halfway through. However, having said that, a 'single use' type appliance is just wasted energy. Even in a dorm or RV a Ninja foodie would be a lot more versatile... but that's just my opinion.😜
The issue with stuff like this is that you expect it to be lower on the power to go easy on some things, but nope it's full power. The heat for the toaster will be milder but the eggs and sausage will cook too fast. You could just get a simple electric hotpot thing that serves like a skillet. You can toast bread on a hot and dry surface, then remove and cook eggs and sausage after.
This was the first time I have seen this contraption and I think I will stick to the good ole fashion toaster and my air fryer lol. I had 1 simular to this a long time ago and gave it to my son cause I did not care for it lol. I do like your videos though. Watching the car phone holders helped me pick out the best one for hubby for xmas.
I don't have one of those but I do have a 3 in 1 breakfast maker it has a griddle a coffee pot and a toaster oven I love it it perfect for 1 or 2 people I bought it threw the mail from montgomery wards
I'd rather just use a frying pan that I can wash in the sink or toss in the dishwasher. I love Farmer John's, I could have eaten that whole 10 pack in one sitting. 🙂
Agreed, and if you don't have a stove for whatever reason, an electric skillet for about $40 with a lid, and temp control works just as well, and is far more versatile.
Great job! On another note I keep seeing bulbhead commercials saying “we may stop production” because of supply shortages but then they keep playing the same commercials all day n night. Just fyi, don’t be fooled by them clowns. 😮
i often eat at midnight in my room, while my family sleeps cuz im in college and don't eat during the day since it makes me tired. I often want to cook some stuff but don't want to be super loud and have to wash dishes or be in the kitchen for long. this seems like you can probably use it for many other things as well, like sometimes i make grilled cheeses in advance and wrap them for later. this can be a great way to heat them up again while making it toasted still, since i usually just microwave them. also im thinking you can heat up like a cheese sauce and have hot cheese to dip with noodles or nachos
Might be cool if you live in one of those micro capsules in Japan but since I live in Vegas I'll hit the buffet for breakfast lol. It's cool just too small for me.
Bacon is such a personal preference when it comes to chewy/crispy. That little machine cooked it damn near in the middle. Also for cracking an egg and leaving it, it turned out better than expected. Toaster feature was unnecessary. Not a bad little gadget but I'll stick with my electric griddle.
The Hamilton Beach one works great, and it puts it all together for you. Bagels may be too big for it, but it’s perfect for English muffins. It’s great for a single dad like me.
I can't imagine waiting 10 minutes for one slice of toast...Great video as always though 😊

Another great review James! Everytime I see one of these "Breakfast Maker" contraptions, I always wonder "Who is this designed for?" Lol. I just can't see where the difference between them and an old fashioned stove or oven is. I guess these could be handy in small quarters or for someone that really doesn't like to cook. To each his own I guess, lol.
College/universities don't allow hot plates etc in dorms. My guess is that's who it's designed for.
These things are probably handy for a college dorm or a truck/camper.
@@munkustrap2 Except these would technically be banned too. No hot plates or griddles. Though even with a ban the teens in my dorm were surprisingly good at setting their rooms on fire. And flooding them. Great combo.
My flatmate wants a bigger version of this that can cook various things for his room so he can make himself something to eat without disturbing me when I sleep.
This tiny one is probably good for really small spaces.
Thank you GREEN LIFE for saving the Earth with your breakfast maker!
Destined to end up at the back of the bottom shelf where kitchen appliances go into exile when they’re more hassle than utility. It might even meet the Zylis Kitchen Whiz that’s been there since 1973?
When a 'bread' item is really moist, which most e-muffins are, it takes twice as long to toast. Personally I would put the one of the muffin sides up above and instead do back bacon on top of the egg, then flip halfway through. However, having said that, a 'single use' type appliance is just wasted energy. Even in a dorm or RV a Ninja foodie would be a lot more versatile... but that's just my opinion.😜
Thank you for the rapid videos James 👏👏👏
The issue with stuff like this is that you expect it to be lower on the power to go easy on some things, but nope it's full power.
The heat for the toaster will be milder but the eggs and sausage will cook too fast.
You could just get a simple electric hotpot thing that serves like a skillet. You can toast bread on a hot and dry surface, then remove and cook eggs and sausage after.
I would've loved something like this back in college living in a dorm room.
This was the first time I have seen this contraption and I think I will stick to the good ole fashion toaster and my air fryer lol. I had 1 simular to this a long time ago and gave it to my son cause I did not care for it lol. I do like your videos though. Watching the car phone holders helped me pick out the best one for hubby for xmas.
Slick move there with the toast 🤣
Thanks for the video!!!
"One more bite for educational purposes"
Yeah, for sure xD
Straight to the boneyard.
Its the EZ bake oven for adults that never grew up
Oh, an egg. Flaunting your wealth at us there, James?
I don't have one of those but I do have a 3 in 1 breakfast maker it has a griddle a coffee pot and a toaster oven I love it it perfect for 1 or 2 people I bought it threw the mail from montgomery wards
let me stars with a quick taste test, I'll start of with the toast, 'it's Toast"!😂
I'd rather just use a frying pan that I can wash in the sink or toss in the dishwasher. I love Farmer John's, I could have eaten that whole 10 pack in one sitting. 🙂
Agreed, and if you don't have a stove for whatever reason, an electric skillet for about $40 with a lid, and temp control works just as well, and is far more versatile.
Great job!
On another note I keep seeing bulbhead commercials saying “we may stop production” because of supply shortages but then they keep playing the same commercials all day n night.
Just fyi, don’t be fooled by them clowns. 😮
I like this thing with the built in filter coffee machine. It's slightly bigger but it incorporates all necessary machinery for a decent breakfast.
My stuff is done in a lot less time, however for Camping if you are at KOA with electric maybe then
it a jack of all trade, master of none lol
English muffins need twice toasted in a regular toaster.
i often eat at midnight in my room, while my family sleeps cuz im in college and don't eat during the day since it makes me tired. I often want to cook some stuff but don't want to be super loud and have to wash dishes or be in the kitchen for long. this seems like you can probably use it for many other things as well, like sometimes i make grilled cheeses in advance and wrap them for later. this can be a great way to heat them up again while making it toasted still, since i usually just microwave them. also im thinking you can heat up like a cheese sauce and have hot cheese to dip with noodles or nachos
I quit buying specialty gimmick appliances when I finally got a kitchen big enough to get dedicated appliances.
Dry toast and pancakes, you're committed for sure. Thanks for the content.
Might be cool if you live in one of those micro capsules in Japan but since I live in Vegas I'll hit the buffet for breakfast lol. It's cool just too small for me.
I do love these videos. I enjoy how you try to make the best out of a questionable situation. This thing might be fun for camping. Cheers!
For a cabin or RV, I can see this..... Not in a regular kitchen... Great video!
You need a "We shall see" shirt!
Bacon is such a personal preference when it comes to chewy/crispy. That little machine cooked it damn near in the middle.
Also for cracking an egg and leaving it, it turned out better than expected.
Toaster feature was unnecessary.
Not a bad little gadget but I'll stick with my electric griddle.
I don’t know who is old enough to remember Susie Homemaker. That what this apparatus reminds me of. Color and everything.
The Hamilton Beach one works great, and it puts it all together for you. Bagels may be too big for it, but it’s perfect for English muffins. It’s great for a single dad like me.
