Baby Brezza Electric One Step Formula Mixer Pitcher - Motorized Mixing System for Infant Formula Powder - Large Capacity, Mix 28oz of Formula at Once - Portable for Travel

Friends.My baby is a happy waker. But I'm not. I've been a bit miffed at the amount of time I've been spending to prep our baby's formula for the day working out the foam and lumps. And dealing with the Mason jars I had to store it in (don't judge. everything else was too cumbersome or too small and we don't have a whole lot of bottles for storage reasons)Last night I unboxed this little gem inspected it and washed it to see what all the complaints were about.Here's my analysis:"Its impossible to clean the lid"I have several items in my kitchen that say "do not submerge (insert part here) in water or liquids to clean" I'm not bothered by this. I can clean things with confidence while keeping them from getting water logged."The battery cover constantly comes off"I noticed the lines on the battery cover weren't very willing to line up when closed it. So I took off the mixing wand and forced it over until it clicked. Problem solved. It no longer pops off when you take the lid off the pitcher."But... Its only 28 oz"Well, idk how other formulas alter the volume of other formulas but when adding the proper amount of Similac Pro-total Comfort to 28oz of water it actually renders 32oz of mixed formula how do I know it's 32oz if the markings only go to 28oz? I measured out 32oz of water and put it in the pitcher when I cleaned it the night before and used a sharpie to mark the 32oz level.So this morning, rather than fighting with my usual routine I used the Baby Brezza mixing pitcher. 28oz of water, 14 scoops of formula, pushed the button.Turned on my keurig made up my coffee how I like it.Turned off the mixing pitcher. Poured out the 6.5 oz my baby has been consuming lately, warmed it up. Baby got perfect formula, I got hot coffee. HOW RARE IS THAT AS A NEW PARENT?!? BRILLIANCE.I couldn't be happier. No lumps and no foam are extremely important to me, as are price points and there is no way I was going to pay for one of the big boy mixers as impressive as they sound. This side steps the price, and counter space needed to use one of the automatic individual bottle makers by Baby Brezza. I really appreciate a company that takes into account that every family has their own budget and style of doing things. And that they deliver quality products for parents. Not for their bottom line only.

**UPDATE**We had to switch to Similac for Spit-Up which is very hard to mix. This review is for the mixer and that formula. I hand wash and use the dishwasher some with the mixer/pitcher and it has held up great! The lid cannot go in the dishwasher because that’s where the batteries are installed. It does go through batteries fairly quickly, but that’s probably due to the fact that we have to let it spin for an ample amount of time to get the clumps out of the formula. We have to scrape the bottom of the pitcher once we pour the boiling water on top, or it will just stick to the bottom. Once we scrape the bottom and sides with the serving fork and let it spin for a good 20 min it is smooth! I also mix it for a couple of seconds with the fork before I start the mixer. When we were using Similac sensitive we never used a fork; just poured the boiling water on top of the formula and put the mixer in and it was smooth in a couple of minutes. This formula is thicker and needs a little extra help mixing. We then refrigerate it and reheat the bottles in a bottle warmer when needed throughout the day. This mixer is a life saver!!Original Review:This formula mixer is a huge help since the hospital told us that we must sterilize powdered formula because it is not made sterilized. I sterilize it by mixing it with boiling water. My only complaint is that it’s small. It only has measurements for 28 oz which does not get us through 24 hours with a newborn.

This pitcher is one of the best baby-feeding-related purchases I have made. It mixes formula in quickly, in batches, and clump-free!!Skip the daily agony of shaking 3-6 bottles for several minutes apiece. You know they rarely mix completely anyway (bye, clumps & lumps).Skip a hand-powered mixing pitcher. They’re messy and not convenient.Skip buying the $200 “formula blender”. It’s completely unnecessary (But register for one anyway, just in case you have a generous aunt). If you’re already spending a lot on formula each month, every extra large purchase hurts the bottom line.This pitcher is amazing. Simply measure the water, add the powder, put on the lid, press the button, and your formula is mixed in a minute.Bonus: it will work for lemonade/chocolate milk when you no longer have a need for formula!You will need to buy batteries for it separately, but I use it daily and haven’t needed new ones in over 2 months.You also need to be careful cleaning the lid. You can wash the lid, it is water-resistant, but it is not waterproof. Do not soak or dunk under water. That should be obvious with a battery-powered device, but warrants the warning nonetheless.Buy this pitcher.

Overall a very useful product to own when baby formula needs to be made. We've used this every day for about 6 months. Just recently the white text on the side of the container is all but gone, not the end of the world because on the other side there are "engraved" markers that won't fade but they are hard to read. The way the battery compartment twists to lock often leads to it becoming unintentionally unlocked when just trying to turn the cap to pour. On batteries, there isn't a low battery indicator so you just have to look out for sluggish spin speeds or clumps of formula after the recommended mixing time to know when new batteries are needed. When cleaning the lid it is very hard to remove the mixing wand to clean to the point we just leave it on and wipe down the wand while still connected to the lid.Those issues are very much worth dealing with for the benefits of using this product. It saves us so much valuable time when we can make 28 oz of formula per go. I recommend this product but would love to see some improvements for a newer version.
