Do not waste your money!

published

This product is terrible. Hard to lock the lid in place. Steam times take a lot longer than the recipe book and to refill the container at the back you burn yourself with the steam and hot water that spits out. It also left chunks of carrot. I would never recommend anyone to buy this as I’m really regretting it.

Worked well first few loads, then this burning smell,

published

Water leaks from bottom, greasy black stuff in the water, smells like it’s burning, this is the second time I used it, brought it for my daughter as she has no time twins and being six children I’m helping out by doing the twins food for her she trust me to do this so I’m the one that needs to do things easy and get the food there and this is a lot off money to pay out for something that is not working out, I just read other reviews and this has happened to other people thank you Cheryle stubbs .

Less washing up to do! Can't live without!

published

Pro: Less washing up to do! Great 2 in 1 steamer and blender to start solids for my baby at 5 mth. It worked well and used it almost everyday. Can't live without!
Con: The lid is a little bit tricky to close completely with the secure lock enhanced feature. And the aftercare service lady was not helpful at all!

Bought it for my baby

published

I bought this steamer and blender to introduce solids to my baby. I like the idea of steaming and blending using just one device. Then it is less washing up to do and time is precious when you have a new baby. So far it works well and I can see myself using it again and again.

Do no buy this product, leaked after 5 uses!

published

Purchased this product from MyPharmacy in lochardt, used it 5 times and water started gushing out from the base emptying through the motor. Was advised by electrician not to use it as of the water hazard. Sent product away and ‘apparently’ this is normal and there’s nothing wrong with it. Dealt with [name removed] who blamed it on the container not being attached properly. Do not buy this product, especially with this disgusting aftercare. You can’t sell a terrible product and then blame it on the poor design of the product. Contemplating taking it up with consumer affairs. I don't think it’s meant to be sold in Aus, as all the writing for the warranty/menus weren’t in English. Waste of $150!!

Noisy and wakes up everyone

published

I also found this blender so noisy that I have to find time to use it when the baby is awake. They could have done something better with the motor for the price. Other than the noise I fund it works quite well and I like the instructions, they are just enough and not too lengthy.

Works perfectly Well

published

Bought this item from baby bunting my daughter is a bit older now but she still loves to eat mashed food and so I ended up purchasing this item. I am very happy I bought it. It was much easier than squishing the food. Very easy to use and saved me a lot of time. Would highly recommend.

I didn't use this frequently.

published

I found this was only really useful for a few months. It would be more useful if you wanted to make fresh baby food every day, but I found myself using my other blender to make larger batches so I could freeze them into small portions more often. It really just took up bench space, and now cupboard space.

good for preparing food,not easy to clean

published

we used the blender and steamer for preparing baby food since baby's six months,very convinient for preparing baby food as you just have to steam the food,flip over,and blend the food,however,the cleaning takes a while as a lot of small parts and non-reachable place,found a lot of mold in the water tank and have to descaling it regularly

A little pricey but works well

published

i was searching for the best steamer and blender to use, In comparison to other brands, I believe the price is a little over than the brands we know. Opting for what is the best for my newborn, i gave this one a try. I love that it doesn't require so much attention when I make some food. It automatically turns off after the food is ready.

Good and easy

When I had my no. 2 child, I was too busy and strugled to look after two young kids all by myself. I decided to get this combined steamer and blender, and was very glad that I chose it. It was easy and convenient to use, saved a lot of time and work. It was great

Easy all around!

published

This was really helpful for the first 3 months that my little bub started eating solids! I love how easy it is to use and that I can choose the consistency of the puree I'm making. Definitely a plus that I can just leave it running without worrying that the water would run out & burn the food. I just wish it was a little bigger so that I could use it until my bub is a toddler, or can make multiple batches at one go!

Awesome Stuff Every Mum Should Have!

published

I got this as a baby shower gifts, amazing stuff, as you can simply steam fruits or veges in it the blend it all in one. It's easy to use and clean, although sometime the lid might get stained from some strong fruits and veges. My kids passed the puree stage, but this worth to keep (for the next LO).

All in one machine makes baby food easier

published

Since my baby was 4 months old, I used this machine to do baby food. All I need to do is to wash the food and chop it . The blender works so well, the food is quite smooth . What's more, the machine is easily cleaned. I can save the time to do other house work. Just love it.

Hello Jacqueline,

Thanks for your question. It's certainly possible to steam both chicken and veggies both together, though keep in mind that you need to consider the different steaming times, for more info check out this link: https://philips.to/39Ls4j3. We further also want to emphasize that we recommend following your local food safety guidelines and cleaning the device before and after usage. We hope this answers your question.

Lisseth C.

Lisseth C.asked

If I steam vegetables and meat what should be time and the amount of water? Considering that for vegetables is 15 min (150ml) and meat is 20 min (200ml). Additional to this is the steamer reaches 20 min should I stop it or should I wait for the beep?
If there is water remain represents a big issue? Thank you

Hi Yoovi,
Thank you for your question. If the tank is properly cleaned and it looks clear now it shouldn't be a problem. We do advise you to descale the tank more often from now on.
