Easy to use
I’m very happy and the price was worth for it . Very easy to use and very easy to clean you don’t make your kitchen messy.
Great produc
Great product. Cooks quickly, easily and comfortably. Save time and dishes to wash. Easy cleaning. An indispensable helper for a busy mother and not only for a mother.
Great for baby weaning!
It’s great having an all in 1, steamer and blender, which takes up less space in a small kitchen. Using this for introducing food to baby and works a charm. 1 less star given as the boiler (water tank for the steam) is diffkcult to clean so clearing out a build up of limescale will be difficult. Otherwise great product and would recommend to first time parents like myself that are unsure/nervous about the weaning process.
Very happy with i
Very convenient and easy way to make healthy and versatile food for your baby. Definitely recommend it!
Fantastic
Fantastic product!!! I use it everyday and so easy to use as well!!!
Wish came with more containers to freeze but you can buy them online anyway…
cant get enough of i
Totally worth the money
At first we thought it was a bit too expansive for just a steamer and a blender but the more we use it the more we love it! Very easy to use and very versatile.
Really good, it does the job
I like that it’s all in one. It can be taken anywhere if you’re going in holiday. You can defrost in it. It’s hard to clean though in the tiny spaces…
Great product - recommend for new parents
This is a quality piece of kit. The food processor works brilliantly and the fact it’s also a built in steamer is perfect for prepping food for our 6 month old. It even comes with a weening recipe book, which is very helpful.
You can take it apart to clean and it’s quite easy to do.
I love this blender however it’s tricky to get all the food out afterwards without wasting any. Also, the round compartment that comes with the blender to store (freeze) and defrost can only be used with the machine and they are expensive to buy separately and hard to get hold of so if you want to batch cook and freeze you’re going to be spending a fortune. As the round pods fit in the machine to defrost the food. So I don’t use the defrost or reheat part only the steam and blend.
I like it but you don’t really need i
You don’t need this, all the prep could be done with pots and pans and a good masher. Saying that with twins I wanted to make life as easy as possible where I could. It definitely does simplify the meal prep and is very handy. Can’t help but feel it’s not really necessary though. Also it felt a bit fiddly at first with lots of parts to take apart and put back together for cleaning.
Great purchase if you start weaning your baby
Great purchase for us. Using it every day and is saving a ton of time. The food is perfectly steamed and easily blended. Would buy it again if I had to. It is a bit annoying to clean but not more annoying as all other appliances if you are preparing the food manually. The best thing is that you don’t have to constantly check if the food is ready or not. You set the timer and it lets you know when it is done and ready to be blended.
Just brillia
Great little machine – purchased when we started weaning – so easy to use. Great as can leave things to steam and then flip it over to blend – excellent.
Not sure why others have had issues locking it etc. Worth carefully reading the instructions and then it is really easy
I absolutely love this product; I love the fact that it helps me make healthy food for my baby at a fraction of the cost of shop-bought food! Despite what some reviews say, it IS easy to clean (reviews saying it wasn’t almost put me off buying it) – if you plan on making a few different pures then it needs nothing more than a quick rinse. Once you’ve finished with it, wash it by hand or in the dishwasher (remember to fully disassemble all the removable parts first!). The jug does need to be tilted on its handle to fully evacuate any water left from washing (there are little holes to allow water out). It also comes with a really handy book with recipes specific for this product, though once you get used to it, you can judge timings for yourself. I cannot recommend this baby food maker enough – I LOVE it! Definite best-buy!
I have bought a number of the Avent steamer and blender. Both as a grandmother, gifting to my grandchildren’s parents and also as my job as a nanny. It looks good and is quite compact and a good colour. It is easy to use. ( I’ve used two different makes and was not impressed with either.) it can pure well for first food and then less blending as they get used to lumps.
Steaming is great and fresh vegetables always come out well. I recommend draining water from steaming and add as required to right consistency required.
It goes in the dishwasher, I would recommend always to drain the tank upside down when not using for a lengthy period of time. Otherwise I would say it’s really easy to use
I would recommend this most highly.
Great product.
Great product so far. Used it for 2 weeks now. Makes baby meals with little effort. The blender is spot on. The steamer is great. May require 2 sessions to properly steam cook rood veg like potatoes or carrots though thats no issue at all – flick of a switch. The white plastic colours and you wont be able to wash the colour off. This has not caused me any issues. I believe that most white plastic would be coloured by foods. This product has defo made life easier. Would recommend.
oh baby
This is a nifty baby gadget and if you are making all of your baby’s food from fresh one of these machines is a must. You can steam, blend, defrost and heat and you put different amounts of water in depending on the task. The baby doos can be stored in the included pots which are disk shaped. The machine works well at all of the taskes mentioned however it will pay to spend a little time before hand learning how to use the machine and about all of its different functions. It is hard to clean and after steaming anything yellow or orange the plastic will stain.
A "MUST HAVE"
One of ” MUST HAVES ” in the kitchen when you have a baby!
Saves loads of time.
I’ve got it as a present and I can not thank enough my friends who decided to make me such a great gift for babie’s 6th months celebration.
LOVE IT!
I love this little machine! With my first child I didn’t bother with making the meals because I thought it’s messy and not worth it. But this steamer is a game changer! It is so easy and quick to prepare meals for my little one. I absolutely love it! No more jars 🙂
THE BEST BABY FOOD PROCESSOR WE HAVE EVER OWNED!
I have tried others with my first child but they all just were not that great. THIS has totally CHANGED the baby food game! It is super easy to use, super easy to clean and best of all it works superior to all others! It can steam food, it purees food but at different levels so you can choose really smooth pureed or slightly chunky-depending on your baby’s needs and development. It comes with a guide and recipes on how to make your own tasty foods for your baby and a few storage containers. Really pleased with this and the last best part is it does not take up hardly any space on your counter!
Good product but easily stains
I really like this product. It’s easy to use, easy to wash. However, the white plastic easily stains if you make carrots, sweet potatoes or pumpkin. It won’t come off. That’s the only downside.
Philips 4-in-1 Healthy Baby Food Make
If you want to make your baby’s’ food rather than purchase, this food maker is excellent as it avoids using so many pots, pans, etc, and all the tidying that comes with it. Let’s face it – we spend long enough looking after baby so any time saved is welcomed!
This is easy to set up and use, and straightforward enough to clean either with a dishwasher or by hand. I like the steaming function the most, as it allows “one pot” cooking for real efficiency. It can make purees or chunkier soups for when baby grows, and so this is going to give you more value for money over time than perhaps seems obvious at first.
Definitely recommended.
So as baby moves through the stages of early life, this came up to test. It’s a great piece of kit that produces great food and we liked it a lot. Can’t speak for baby as he is still a bit young for this at the time of writing. To try it out we tried a number of the recipes in the supplied booklet. The booklet is quite thick, but that is because it’s written in so many languages.
You DO need to read the instructions carefully though. Otherwise potential disasters could follow. I did read the instructions, but missed the fact that attaching the reversible food compartment differs depending on which way round it is. The food processor end needs to be twisted on, while when it is in the steamer position, it’s just a push on. Make a mistake here and the lid will come off as there is no locking piece – something I didn’t expect – and nearly ended up with hot apple all over the place. The picture shows the issue. Should have just lifted it off.
To make the food, you first chop it roughly and steam it for the recommended time. You need to fill it with the required amount of water and then turn the steam on. There’s a tiny white indicator that I missed first time to show you all is well. Then turn the food container around and use the blade to puree the food. Job done, and we thought ot tasted great.
Cleaning is easy, we cleaned by hand – so watch out for the sharp blade and all is well.
Other than the niggle above, which is important, but ok once understood, this is an impressive bit of kit.
Good product but expensive
A quality product that’s well made and well presented
With it being a 4 in 1 baby food maker, it’s a very versatile product
It’s easy to use and clean albeit very expensive
Really easy to use and makes life a little more easier and stress free
As a new mum life can be busy and a ‘little’ stressful, especially when it comes to your child moving onto and weaning off of baby milk. This is a great way to not have to worry about what they are eating and it doesn’t take that much time to ensure your baby’s eating well. It’s easy to use, plus it comes with a little recipe book so that you can ensure your baby want get tired of the same old foods. Really easy to prepare and makes life a little more easier and stress free.
Great baby chef
The Philips Healthy Baby Food Maker is an amazing device.
As you’d expect from Philips it is extremely well built. Setup is very simple, no issues at all.
It has the 4 key functions in 2 main areas steam and blend (so actually prepping) and then defrost and reheat, with each function simple to setup and adapt the machine to. It is all foolproof.
We have only used vegetables and it was super quick to do its stuff. We did start with the book but really you can chuck in what you want and it just blends it down to a mush (in a nice way). Simple.
Cleaning is very easy, no messing around really.
This is not a cheap device but it really does everything you need and anything you can think of and so it will get a lot of use.
So useful for weaning baby
This item arrived safe and well packaged.
I really wish this was available a few years ago!! I spent days on end chopping, cooking, blitzing, freezing, reheating, testing, etc etc. Just to feed a tiny human being!
This gadget saves time and hassle on all of those things!!! Start off with a fresh fruit or vegetable and in minutes you can have a cooked and pureed food ready to feed your little one. You can quickly make up a freezer full of fresh and delicious and nutritious meals.
I highly recommend this product.
Great product for use when starting to wean babies and beyond!!
Easy to understand picture instructions, easy to transfer between different functions which makes it quick to use which every mother needs.
Quiet in comparison to other blenders and baby food makers I have used in the past.
Some great recipes for different stages of weaning in the booklet, included with the product.
.Some parts difficult to separate for cleaning, however once separated, parts are big enough to clean well.
Overall great product for use when starting to wean babies and beyond.
Great produc
Great product for preparing baby meal, easy to use and easy to clean, food blended is sufficient fine for little ones, but I doubt of its price, not cheap for everyone, wish there will be a more finance friendly product.
Good
Great for making healthier meals for your baby rather than buying the premade, preserved baby food.
Really easy to use and clean, doesn’t take that much time to sort or effort if you’re like me and forever tired.
Full Steam ahead !
This is a cracking device to help you wean your baby onto solids in your own time and with full control over the ingredients. Following the well produced and easy to read instruction manual, you simply add your diced and sliced veg into the top container and add water to the lower depending in volume of food added. Turn the easy to read dial to the correct time and leave to steam. The next bit is the clever part as you just flip it with the blade in place to blend to the desired texture. Job done although it may take a little bit of trial and error at first to get that perfect outcome but follow the recipes or the app and it is very straightforward and very satisfying. It is quite expensive but it does save worktop space as you won’t need a separate steamer and blender and the capacity means it can be used for sauces etc for adults too. All in all, a great addition to the Avent range.
Exceptionally versatile food processo
What has struck me about this food processor is its exceptional versatility: you can do a lot with it. It may be made for babies, but you can make amazing purees with it, and since babies are only babies for a short time, it’s good to know that what you’re investing in can outlast the year or so that ‘baby food’ is needed for.
What really made this machine great is the App that is specifically designed for use with this food maker, and it explains how to prepare the food along with great menu planners.
The 4-in-1 aspect is that you can steam, blend, defrost and reheat.
It’s all very easy to clip together and is so easy to use and then clean. I love the steam option. Such a very well-made food maker.
good item if a little expensive
I know these type items can be pricey and it is a good item but over a hundred pounds is too rich for my budget. There are similar items on the market that are cheaper.
I do love the fact it does good size batch’s and you can steam and then blend all in one go.
Its easy to use and comes with a couple of food tubs for storing. All in all a very handy item to have around.
I would say if you have the money then go for it.
Blender and steamer in one with a really useful weaning and recipe guide. Has different settings for defrost reheat and light steam.
It’s reasonably compact and smaller than many coffee machines, so if space is a premium it can sit nicely in a corner when not in use.
Basically, meal prep becomes a case of choosing and prepping the ingredients, loading the baby food maker, setting the right programme and leaving it to get on with things with minimal human intervention. And you’ll just have the one cooking device to clean and fortunately all parts except the main unit can be cleaned in a dishwasher.
At least that’s what can happen. In actual fact quite a few of the recipes involve you preparing other food by alternative methods beforehand. The pasta meals require you to prepare pasta beforehand the chickpea meals require you to prepare chickpea beforehand.
So, if you have to prepare one part of the meal by traditional methods anyway you may well ask why not prepare all of it by traditional methods? Along with the rest of the families meals.
it is actually a good idea to have a device like this. Preparing baby food separately reduces the likelihood of children picking up a tummy bug or having an allergic reaction due to a greater potential for cross-contamination when preparing food meant for everyone. Also many foods we routinely eat as adults contain ingredients that a small child would find hard to digest or might even have an allergic reaction to. Also young taste buds tend to prefer blander foods.
Additionally, this device avoids over cooking food and ruining it’s goodness. if I don’t overcook my carrots for some of my family they won’t eat them, much to my chagrin as I do not like carrots so squishy you could turn them into mush with your fingers.
Preparing small elements of the meal beforehand isn’t such a big deal it just involves some thought in advance, e.g if you’re already making a pasta meal for the rest of the family then put a little of the plain pasta to one side to make a pasta dish for your child as well.
Basically, as with any meal planning you need to think about the food that you want to have to hand, if you want to produce meals with the right variety of healthy ingredients and minimal time prep.
There does seem to be a slight bias towards veggie meals in the recipes listed in the guide but once you hit your stride you can start creating your own recipes.
Because pured meals are easier to freeze you can prepare them at different times to the meal preparation times for the rest of the family take them out of the freezer as and when required and then use this to safely defrost and reheat. I think that this is so sturdy, it should certainly last long enough to serve several children as your family grows
Complete all in one baby food maker which is super easy to use!
This has changed the way I make baby food forever! This makes the whole process so easy and really means there is no excuse for buying those packet baby pouches.
This machine is super easy to use and can make 3-4 portions of baby food each time, it comes with a storage pot for any spare. I have it on the side all the time so when I am cooking dinner I can just chuck a few bits of vegetable or meat in while cooking normal meals. If there is any left over baby food you can just pop it in the storage tub that comes with this set. However, I found that’s a rather large portion so for smaller babies I used smaller tubs I bought elsewhere.
The steamer is easy to use just pop in some water and away you go. Then once that is done I like to empty out as much of the water as I can and then turn the machine upside down and bend away. Once, I’m done I just chuck the whole thing into my dishwasher and then leave it on the side to dry thoroughly.
The set comes with a handy little booklet to get you started which offer’s 19 recipes, a few for every stage of the weaning process. It also comes with a steaming guide that tells you how long to steam each type of food. This really is the complete gadget to making effortless baby food!
Baby Food Make
The middle compartment is a steamer – the first thing to check before adding any veg is that this has enough water in it, as like with boiling a kettle with no water in it, the elements can dry burn. It takes around 20 minutes for raw vegetables to steam, at which point you just flip the top part 180 degrees, and blend.
The food is temperature safe for your baby to eat straight away, which is a feature I love.
Another thing I love is that the steam function and blend functions are separate – so if you’re weaning on to solid food, or have another slightly older child, you can serve the steamed food without blending too.
It also comes with a freezable storage pot, which fits inside and can be used on the defrost setting – and brings the food to a safe warm temperature for immediate eating by your baby.
The recipe book that’s included is particularly useful, mostly because this is a somewhat unique machine, and the recipes are tailored to using it. They include common baby food ones like carrots and peas, and a few I had’t heard of before, like using avocado. Once you learn the machine i’m sure you can make your own, but mostly I found the included recipe book so good, as other baby food recipes take in to consideration that you need to boil and blend, so they often have too much water in them.
Overall, I think it’s impeccably designed and so well functioning that nothing is a hassle, and its a godsend for making your own baby food from scratch.
Great versatile produc
What you receive is a very well made versatile product from Philips, you’re able to steam, blend, defrost and reheat meals with this 4 -1 food maker.
Everything clips and unclips with ease, the handle is easy to grip, the rotary dial is to use and see
What I do like is you’re able to use this to blend in the traditional sense, or by flipping the container you’ll able to steam the food, save any swapping machines etc.
You’re able to steam the food, you can blend, even defrost and repeat all with the one machine.
The instructions are easy to follow, there’s a few video’s also on the net which are worth reaching out which will helps you with using it.
The machine is easy to clean, its not to big for the work top and can be made smaller by taking the container off for popping in to the cupboard
A great product, very happy with its versatility, little expensive, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.
Multifunctional, makes outstanding purées, salsa and dips as well as ‘baby’ food.
I didn’t know a gadget like this existed and I was delighted to be offered one to try out. I don’t have a baby, but I do a lot of home cooking and this is a truly multifunctional machine. Very useful if you want to prepare food for adults with eating difficulty or simply for producing amazing pures and dips. I’ve used it to make a delicious salsa in minutes.
It’s beautifully presented in a quality coloured card box. It would make a wonderful gift for someone special.
The instructions are easy to follow, but for optimum benefit, I really recommend that you download the App specifically designed to use with the mixer. It’s comprehensive; very slick to use, packed with advice about weaning, nutrition, the importance of a good diet, fussy eaters and much much more. It explains how to prepare the food and there are really helpful menu planners with three suggestions per day for a week. There are full instructions, including a video on how to use the machine; adding water, steaming, blending, defrosting, cleaning etc.
It’s very easy to use and all the critical parts are dishwasher safe, so it’s say to clean. There’s a plastic spatula supplied to clean out every last bit of contents. It’s brilliant.
Although this machine may seem expensive, it would pay for itself many times over very quickly. Jars of prepared food are pricey. Plus, it’s a useful gadget for making pures at any time, for any occasion or meal. In a nutshell, this is a genuinely multifunctional device and it exceeds my expectations.
This does it all.
Blending, steaming, and producing healthy baby food that you have prepared yourself. What is better than that? Forget the expensive jars and packets, this tried and tested product from Philips is all you need for the transition from milk to more inclusive foods. A reliable brand, delivering a healthy product that is best for baby.
Highly recommended.
