    You won’t regret it
    I never leave reviews on things but this thing has been amazing. We originally wanted a baby brezza with the formula in to come out already made but after reviews from people we know about the formula ratio not coming out right and other issues we decided to find one that didn’t have the formula in the tank and settled on this. Our little one can only use distilled water for bottles so we have to pre-fill bottles for daycare and being able to have it essentially on tap and already room temp/body temp ready has been amazing. We love the light flashing to let us know the water is warming up and when it’s done, the temp is always perfect and it fits on our counter without taking much space. I fill it maybe once a day making it so easy for our feedings and when I do fill it this thing gets the water to temp so quickly we have never had to wait for it. We have had tall, short, wide, and narrow bottles to try and find what worked and it fits all of them perfectly. The little light for 3 am feeds so you can still see the lines on the bottle while sleep deprived is a life saver. We just dump in the formula after filling with water and have never had an issue. I cannot endorse this product enough, it’s worth every penny and then some.

    The Best Option for Making Bottles!
    I have tried the baby brezza formula pro( didn’t ever dispense the proper amount), I tried hand mixing, I tried the mixing pitchers, prefilling bottles to store in the fridge and heating with warm water, this is the best option for making formula. The basin is GLASS, so your warm water for baby isn’t sitting in a plastic basin all day, that’s the best part. It’s easy to clean and there’s three temperature settings, my baby likes her bottles warmer than room temp. This is the fastest way to get a perfect temp. bottle to your baby. Just get a little hand mixer for the formula(like a little paddle attachment on a hand frother) and you can make a bottle for your baby in under 1 min which is helpful for us since we’ve started the stages where she’s not regularly taking bottles every 3 hours it could be 4 or 5 hours and she lets us know its time by having a fit so being able to get a bottle to her in under a minute is a game changer.

    Incredibly convenient
    My husband and I would make batches of bottles and then keep them in the fridge and use a bottle warmer. The whole process required predicting how many bottles we would need, when to boil water etc. This product eliminates all that work and we make fresh bottles on demand in minutes and the water is the perfect temperature. We have to boil the water on the stove first, but we only have to do it once a day. Also love how the product is glass and not plastic.

    Best investments
    This is so convenient. Holds the water so it’s ready at time baby is ready. No waiting. Just add water to bottle shake and feed. 3 settings is nice feature.

    Works okay, could be warmer
    I don’t feel like I get consistently warm water every time I dispense it, and I also feel like it could dispense a little bit hotter than the hottest setting. But other than that it’s convenient and does a decent job.

    Very light!
    It does leak a little sometimes, but not too bad or something that bothers me! It works really well and I love how light it is, and the fact that you can see everything on it because it is glass made!

    Love this!
    Best purchase i have ever made! Keeps the temp exactly where i want it at all times, fast to mix a bottle when baby is crying, very convenient. Only complaints are i wish the water resevoir was detachable for easier cleaning and i also wish i knew how often to change the distilled water

    We just woke up and water is empty but before we leave the warmer we fill water in the glass. I put water again and its just blinking not heating. I suspect it’s boiling nonstop even it is in body temp level and drain the water. Its very dangerous

    Great for late night feeds with a night light which makes it so so easy. Absolutely love this compared to other warm water dispensers we have tried.

    I woke up one night to see the water was boiling non stop. If I had not seen that I think there would have been a short circuit and potential fire.
