Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have been looking for an on-the-go warmer for months. I actually thought there might be one I could plug into a car outlet, but no luck. This was on my Amazon suggestions and I thought it was dumb. I mean, come on - a Tommee Tippee specific bottle warmer? For that price it must be junk. I searched and searched and finally decided "what the he**? I'll just go for it." THIS THING HAS CHANGED MY LIFE! No more trying to warm a bottle with my hands, my thighs, behind my bra. No more paying .99 for a "cup" to simply fill with hot water to warm a bottle. No more asking a waiter to bring a bowl or some kind of container of hot water and watching them scramble to try and find something that fits a Tommee Tippee bottle. (B/C you know they are FAT!). You just boil some water before you leave, put it into the thermos, and go! Pros: Keeps water hot (enough) to warm a bottle for HOURS! We went to Texas RenFest and the water was warm from 9a-9p. The white cup is the perfect size to put the TT bottle in. You don't get that with "just a thermos." The white cup goes over the thermos so it's all in one place. You do not have to take the top of the thermos off to pour water into the cup. Low tech - no need to find an outlet - so you don't have to run back to the car if you are at your other child's soccer game/swim meet/scouting event in the middle of nowhere.... You can also warm other drinks/food in the cup, not only anything Tommee Tippee. Avent bottles, food pouches, even jars of food fit into this cup. Tall bottles like Dr. Browns will fit in this cup! Cost pro- once you purchase this, you do not have to buy additional special heating packs or accessories. I remember seeing a product at B.B.Babystore that could warm items with their special packs. It was not available when I began my search. Cons: If you overfill the thermos and try to put the top on, you might burn yourself with the hot water (this is no fault of the thermos). (True story) Hard to remember if thermos is open or shut. My mother left it open on the way back from somewhere and a bit of the water leaked out. It is one more thing to carry along. (But you're already carrying 20 lbs of related gear, so what's a bit more, right? haha) The cup is too big to fit into a car cup holder, so if using in a vehicle you'll have to hold it. If I know we are going to be out for a while I will pour the water from the cup back into the thermos. Sometimes it's hard to find a place to dump the water after use. I sincerely hope my review on this item helps you. I read a ton of the reviews and wasn't convinced until I purchased and used this item for myself. NOTE: I did not purchase this item to keep water hot in order to make bottles. I purchased ONLY for warming purposes. I would not use the water poured back in for making bottles. You can use the water to make bottles and warm bottles if you didn't return the used water to the container. (I wanted to be sure I said that so no one worries that I'm giving my little dude dirty water!)
