Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep Day & Night the Baby Bottle Maker Machine with Digital Display and Adjustable Volume, White

It’s perfect and the right temperature so the baby doesn’t have to wait to be fed

My son had a lot of issues at birth with his blood sugar. He needed to be on special feeds to keep him stable and was in NICU for weeks. Between the stress and his inability to eat my milk, I struggled to produce enough food for him. Then not only a couple weeks after coming home he suddenly developed an intolerance to milk. We were given a prescribed allergy formula to feed him and we found that using the kettle to make the feed ans wait for it to cool down was harrowing. He would scream and scream for food if we didn't manage to anticipate him well enough in advance, which made getting any sleep that much worse.That's where this machine came in! With all the difficulties we had experienced so far, this came in like a soothing balm. It made his food in a minute on demand, minimal waiting. We were finally able to sleep a little longer without needing to be up and down making his next feed in advance. It was never too hot or too cold and our son really enjoyed the temperature.I have heard that instant prep machines can cause stomach issues. I will say we did not experience that ourselves, but that might he attributed to the machines hot shot feature. When it first injects the hot water, SHAKE WELL. The boiling water kills bacteria so make sure to shake when it's hot and not after the cool water was added.

After I saw some bad reviews stating the temperature of the first boiling water doesn’t reach 70 degrees I had to test myself before I give the formula made to my baby.At first I filled a mug with the first boiling water that is dispensed and then measured the temp. Found it was about 56 degrees not passing my test. I then measured again while the boiling water is being dispensed and found the temperature right just above 70. Then I thought it makes absolute sense why it tells you to put the powder first which is VERY IMPORTANT STEP. The boiling water has to be dispensed straight on the powder to kill any germs. If you dispense the boiling water in an empty container the temp will drop by the time you take out and put powder.For me it’s a legit machine and makes the process of making formula significantly easier.

The build quality is okay, but whoever designed the procuct obviously never took it out of the box and tried to follow the instructions of how to set it up.I followed the instructions in the manual only to find that when you switch the machine on, it has its own initialisation routine written in the firmware which does not align with the instructions given in the manual. As there is no way to abort the initialisation routine, I had to run through it again, in the process handling the antibacterial filter manually, breaching the sterile bubble of the machine.At some point because the filter was already primed in accordance with the description in the printed manual when I had to remove it again for the firmware initialisation routine, I also flooded the machine and my kitchen worktop. Furthermore, because everything was already primed in accordance with the printed manual, when pouring the boiling water in the hopper tank as per the firmware initialisation routine, it of course mixed with the water already in there, so certainly was nowhere near boiling point any more when pumped through the machine, making its sterilising qualities questionable at best.The machine was sold to me as new, but there was water inside the enclosed baby bottle, so clearly it had been used before, a big no-no in the baby world.Eventually, the machine now does what it says on the label, and pretty well at that, but I have no real confidence that the machine is still sterile and safe to use. Since we are talking about my baby here, I am not really in the mood to take chances.

Formula made in less than two minutes! This is a life saver. Probably the most used item we got when we had our first baby. Only tip, if you have MAM bottles, don't follow the machine's instructions! Add the hot shot, and then the powder!

Works exactly as you expect. We had spent 8 weeks using a kettle and cooling down in the sink, so this was certainly an upgrade

bought so we could make bottles quickly and easily for our great-grandson after our son had one for our youngest grandson. Really easy to look after and use. Highly recommend.

Value for money
