When I first heard about this product I wanted one. I thought to myself: wow, this is gonna make my life easier. After unpacking it and reading the instructions I was immediately feeling regret —to the tune of $229.
Not only does the manual not include the feeding chart, but the extra parts and the frequency in which they must be washed put me off.
As instructed I went to the website to find the chart; it was NOT readily available and I had to hunt it down. It’s a little scary to trust it because improperly made formula can make babies quite sick.
There are 6 pieces that needed to be washed before starting and the funnel components must be washed after being used four times. I already spend an inordinate amount of time washing and sterilizing things —why am I taking on more?
This was definitely the case of being conned into thinking technology was better than simply pouring distilled water into a bottle and adding a scoopful of powdered formula into a bottle. We only serve our baby room temperature formula so why do I need a machine that can make room temperature formula as one of the settings.
The product is supposed to produce less bubbles in the mixing process but that isn’t enough to sway me.
The adage of “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” applies. Make the bottles yourself and if you want warmed formula you can easily pop it into a more reasonably priced bottle warmer.
Also interesting to note I posted the machine on Marketplace and I have had zero interest… hmmm….
