Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This warmer definitely has its pros and cons, pls. see below - straight to the point information. PROS: 1) Sleek and stylish 2) Fits the Tommee Tippee bottle (bottle has large body), therefore will fit almost every bottle in the market. 3) Heats up very quickly 4) Time on manual regarding heating times is quite accurate (take into account refrigerator temp. setting as shown in manual) 5) Heating bottle in warmer is consistent , versus using hot/boiling water which makes for a guessing game. 6) Warms milk evenly CONS: 1) Pricey for something manufactured in China without an auto shut-off IMPROVEMENTS FOR MANUFACTURER, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE PRICE OF THIS WARMER: 1) Add auto shut-off 2) Add a white strip to the knob so that users can easily see which setting it is on DEBUNKING ISSUES WRITTEN ABOUT BY OTHER REVIEWERS: "There is no OFF." Setting 0: "0" IS THE EQUIVALENT OF OFF. I contacted the manufacturer to make sure this is the case. I also conducted an experiment in which I placed 10ML of room temp water in the warmer and left it on "0" for 10 minutes. There was no change to the water temp. "Settings 1 and 2 have no purpose." After experimenting with the temperatures, let's get this straight - for those reviewers who have written that settings 1 and 2 do not do anything, well, they do. Setting 1 keeps the bottle warm (after you have heated it and allowed for the water to get cooler from the boiling temp of Setting 3, of course) and Setting 2, perhaps can be used if you want to buy more time doing something (dressing baby after bath) and come to a perfectly heated bottle. Pls. note that the unit does seem to continue to warm and I am not certain as to whether or not the lower settings will ever get to a boiling point. Using 10ML of Water Setting 0: "0" IS THE EQUIVALENT OF OFF Setting 1: 98.8F (however, 120F after 10 minutes) Setting 2: 128F Setting 3: 150F Setting the dial in between numbers do make for variable temperatures "Using this is the same as warming milk from hot or boiling water." No, it is not. first off, there are more steps in heating milk from hot/boiling water versus using a bottle warmer. Not only that, but if you know how many minutes it takes to get to the right temp. for your baby, you can set your watch to it in the future and you will never have to guess whether or not you have under/overdone the heating. "Difficult to judge where water is in warmer." If the bottle floats - stop adding water to it. If you are heating 5 oz. and the bottle does not float, add water to the milk line. Simple. ASSESMENT: Overall, I think this is a very good warmer and does not deserve the poor reviews. Quite frankly, from what I have read on the 1-star reviews as I was thinking of purchasing this, it sure seems like the reviewers are either not mindful or did not fully research what they were purchasing. I will agree however, that for the price and being manufactured in China (I used to work for a baby products manufacturing company), it would be wise for Tommee Tippee to add an auto-shut off after 10 minutes or so, just to keep families safer and sway people from giving them a bad review only for this reason. Simply put with facts and no emotions involved, set a timer when you use this. Unplug it to be safe after each use and it really is a nice, well-made warmer.
