Review of Sokany 3 IN 1
For small homes, apartments, dorms, or anyone who wants to streamline breakfast preparation, the Sokany 3-in-1 Breakfast Maker offers an interesting solution: combine a coffee maker, toaster/oven, and griddle in one appliance. The idea is to brew coffee, toast bread, or bake something, and fry eggs or pancakes all with a single unit, saving space and simplifying your morning routine. In this review, we will dive into how it performs, what to watch out for, and whether it lives up to the promise.
What It Is & Key Specifications
SK-145 (and other similar SK/3-in-1 series)
It offers three functions:
Coffee maker (typically 3-4 cups capacity)
Toaster/oven
Griddle/frying surface (non-stick) or grill plate for eggs, bacon, and pancakes.
Typical capacity: oven ~9-12 L in some models
Power: One listing indicates a total of ~1250 W for the unit.
Design & Build Quality
The 3-in-1 unit presents as a compact countertop appliance but still takes up a decent footprint compared to a single toaster or coffee maker. Some building features:
The toaster/oven section typically has a glass door to monitor baking/roasting.
The griddle/frying surface is often non-stick and removable for cleaning in some models.
The coffee maker comes with a glass carafe and filter basket in many versions.
Material: often a mix of plastic housing + stainless steel/work surfaces. For example, one spec lists “Plastic housing, non-stick griddle, glass carafe”.
While the building is practical, there are trade-offs: since it covers multiple functions, each component might not be as premium as a dedicated appliance. For example, the griddle surface or oven element may be smaller than full-size standalone versions.
Performance & Usability
Oven/Toaster
It can toast up to 4 slices of bread or handle a ~7-inch pizza. Many models feature a 30-minute timer (some up to 60 minutes in other variants) and auto-shutoff. For basic toast, cookies, and small bakes, it’s convenient. For larger baking tasks or large portions, it might be limited due to size & heat distribution.
Grill/Griddle Surface
The non-stick griddle is useful for eggs, bacon, pancakes, and hash browns while the oven or coffee maker is in use. Removable trays and non-stick surfaces reduce cleanup effort, but non-stick durability over time should be considered.
Coffee Maker
The coffee maker portion usually brews 3-4 cups in listings. Useful for simultaneous breakfast prep: as bread/toast/eggs cook, you can brew coffee.
Simultaneous Use
The big selling point: you can do multiple tasks (toast, fry, brew) at once. For busy mornings, this is convenient, especially in small kitchens where multiple appliances would clutter the counter or overload outlets.
Pros & What Works
Combines three breakfast functions into one appliance — ideal for small homes, apartments, and dorm rooms.
Given its multifunctionality, buying one machine might cost less than three separate units.
Enough for toast, coffee, eggs/pancakes in one go.
Removable trays and non-stick surfaces make cleaning more manageable in some models.
Cons & Considerations
Even though it’s “3-in-1”, the oven size is modest. For larger families or complete baking tasks, you may outgrow it.
Multi-function machines often compromise on some features (such as slower heating and uneven toasting) compared to dedicated appliances.
Non-stick griddle surfaces may degrade faster than heavy-duty ones.
Because it integrates multiple components, a malfunction in one component (e.g., a coffee maker) might affect the entire unit’s usability.
Since functions are integrated, proper ventilation and cleaning are essential to avoid overheating or mixing odors from coffee or fried foods.
Verdict & Recommendation
For someone with limited kitchen space or who wants a convenient breakfast station in a single appliance, the Sokany 3-in-1 Breakfast Maker is a solid option. It offers real utility for toast, coffee, and frying in one go. However, if you bake often, have a larger family, or want very high performance from each appliance (a dedicated oven, a premium coffee maker), you might eventually prefer separate appliances.
