Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

ok, We own an old "happy baby" brand food mill. It's basically the same design. The happy baby mill is not sold anymore. So, we bought one of these green sprouts mills as a back up just in case our old one breaks. Here's the deal. Whoever designed this new green version basically took everything good about the happy baby mill and made it worse. 1. It's big and clunky compared to the Happy Baby Grinder. 2. The holes in the metal "grill" are few and far between compared to the happy baby grinder. (because of this you are basically pushing the food into a wall with a few holes in it rather than through a grid of holes. this makes pushing it really hard unless you're trying to grind something thats already super soft like apple sauce) 3. The blade that rotates on the underside of the grill is not flush with the metal grill so it doesn't effectively "cut" the food but just stirs it round and round as you try to press the food through the holes. This helps to contribute to the difficulty in pressing the food through. (the happy baby grinder works more like a scissors cutting the food between the blade and the grill) 4. and lastly this one leaks through the bottom while you are pressing down even though it feels tighter than the HB mill. So sadly even though this looks a lot like the one that works, they've actually engineered it to not work near as well.
