Verified Reviews for Egg Skelter

I bought 2 of these about a month ago and used it for the first couple of weeks but have now gone back to egg boxes. The design and quality are good, they just don't work for me. Firstly I keep eggs in the fridge and this wasn't so convenient to use in the fridge. Secondly the eggs lie horizontally on the chute, and when you remove the bottom one they're meant to all roll down. But what I found is that the eggs rotated as they rolled and ended up the other way round - then they wouldn't roll properly and in the end a couple fell out and broke :-( Also we get about 3 eggs a day so filled up the first one very quickly, then ended up transferring from the second one to the first one to make space, and that was a faff. Love the idea but didn't quite work for me. Would be much better for people who keep their eggs out the fridge, and don't get as many as we do.

The idea behind this is brilliant, but it doesn’t always work in the way in which it should. The eggs sometimes get stuck as they roll, so then starts the fiddly procedure of unsticking them and popping them back in line. It is good however, for making sure you are eating the older eggs first even if they don’t always roll there!

The skelter is sturdy but the eggs do not roll freely down when removing a couple for use which would have been ideal. They tend to roll onto their narrow width and halt.

The design is funky and solid, however the eggs don't roll which is a bit frustrating because I like to take the oldest eggs at the bottom of the Skelter and the eggs don't roll down so you can add the most fresh eggs to the top of the Skelter.

Given to my daughter in law who has chickens as a present - She loves the look of it in her kitchen and she likes the practicality of it all. Lovely change from the proverbial chicken shaped wire basket!

I've only given it three stars because the eggs do not roll down the skelter as expected. I have to move them by hand and they sometimes fall off and break.

This looks so great and I was really hoping it would make keeping my eggs in date order more simple but it is a real hassle to get the eggs down the skelter. I have to roll them one at a time as they get stuck so easily particularly as there are bars across the skelter which they get stuck on really easily. Therefore it is good to look at but rubbish at its job

This was bought for us by a friend (using my computer whist staying here)- we thought it an excellent idea though were a little concerned it would take up too much space. In the event the space issue was fine as it (just) sits on the shelf where my previous egg holder lived BUT the purpose of having it was so our own eggs would be used in date order. However, because the eggs do not roll down the tracks we have to shift them on manually, this takes more time than writing the date on as we did before and on occasion an egg has jumped off the rack whilst moving them on so its a bit disappointing.!

A good idea for keeping the eggs in order, however I have had a few breakages when eggs have slipped off. I notice that the illustration shows the eggs on their sides not pointed side down, which was the way I understood that they're best stored. perhaps I'm not placing them on the skelter correctly.

This is a good idea (as eggs are stored in sequence) but in practice side is a bit disappointing. Unfortunately the large eggs get wedged between the vertical supports and the small eggs swivel round and get stuck in the rails. I have spoken to the girls about laying consistently medium sized eggs but they won't oblige. Some tweaking to the design would be good.
