The Negg

Couldn't get it to work as described...

Second purchase that didn't meet expectations. Probably last purchase

A good looking gadget and 8 really wanted it to work, but it didn’t. I shook it a couple of times and the suggested 4-12 times and each t8me it was still a mess.

I was very disappointed with this purchase. I thought it
was a bit expensive but if it worked would be well worth it. I also bought one for my sister. I followed the instructions exactly as noted and even used ice to make the water extra cold. I still ended up peeling bits of egg shell off my hard boiled eggs and they looked horrible. The shells did not slide off as shown in the advertisement. I am extremely disappointed with this purchase and definitely would not recommend it.

I want to add to my review that in washing it at the sink to pack up to return, I noticed the plastic at the top and bottom - the bump - was now pitted and eroded. This after 10 eggs. I don't think this product would last at that rate. As it didn't work at all, it's going back. I do give the Grommet credit for posting negative reviews, even if they sort them so they are at the very bottom of 600 reviews; many vendors don't post negative reviews at all.

I tried this product several times, shaking for different number of times each time, on cold and a few days old hard-boiled eggs. Shaking fewer times didn't work--still had to do a lot of manual peeling. Shaking more tore the egg almost in half. Very disappointed.

A waste of money.

I keep hard boiled eggs in the fridge for snacking on, ordered The Negg thinking what a perfect tool this will be for me.
I tried it with a cold/out of the fridge egg - did not work at all, instead it made more of a mess and I ended up with a wasted egg. I would love to return this for a full refund.

I purchased this as a gift for a friend with the knack for making great deviled eggs. She had complained in the past about the challenges of peeling her eggs without butchering the whites. I saw this Negg, read the great reviews, watched the video and finally decided to give it to her as a birthday gift.

She tried the Negg on Dec. 1, 2017 and send me an image of her first two eggs. They were both a mess. The peel was pulling off with the whites, despite her following the guidance to do an ice bath and then peel when cooled. She also uses older eggs.. so they are not the problem. To be sure, I asked her to bring it to the party that evening and I boiled a half dozen eggs to bring with me. It actually became a bit of entertainment as others became interested in what we were doing.

Long story short. The Negg was a bust. It doesn't peel off like a jacket as I saw demonstrated in videos. It basically broke up some of the shell and then I had to pick the rest off. It was far less efficient that just breaking the eggshell on the tip and peeling it off from there. I totally wasted my money and she ended up with a crappy gift. I would have sent it back for a return but she threw the box away. Oh well. Lesson Learned.

I could not get this to work. I wasted my eggs trying. Wish I had not bought it.
