Who has heard of the Beaba?

You know...the babycook thing? Its supposively the best babyfood maker ever - all the rage in Europe. Has anyone used this product before? Or do any of you plan on using it when your little one gets to this stage? I just think it looks really cool and sort of fun. I found it on Williams Sonoma for $149.95, but I bet you could get it on Amazon for cheaper.

Check it out and tell me what you think!

    I'd rather just use the food processor I already own...

    That is a ridiculous gadget!  You can make your baby food without spending the 150!  Just steam whatever, throw it into a food processor, freeze in ice cube trays and you're done!  You do not need that!  I made all of the baby food for my twins and it was so fun!

    Heard of it, and not doing it. Its NMS. But I'm not judging anyone who wants to put forth the effort, good for them!

    received it as a gift from my MIL and GMIL...haven't used it yet, but must say was really excited for it.

    we joined a community supported agriculture farm last summer (and again this year) so we have tons of veggies in the house, but limited time...so am hoping that this will help make babyfood...something that my mom did for my siblings and me and I am hoping to do for our kids (at least DS upon his arrival)

    Buying one may be cheaper and make more sense in the long term.

    The beaba is really cute, but I think it's a waste of money.  You'd be better off spending the money on a really good food processor that you can use for more than just baby food.  The food processor part of the beaba is really small, and you could get a larger capacity food processor for the same amount of money.  I have a Cuisinart, and I love it. You can also use a blender, if you have one.

     EDIT: Also, I think the reason why it's so popular in Europe is because it is WAAAAYYY cheaper there.

    I gotcha :) Thanks girls!

    I'll just buy a food processor then I think - Sounds easy enough!

    It's actually not all that much cheaper over here...but, it is really tiny and for those of us living in tiny European apartments, it's probably pretty easy to store. Not sure if that's part of the appeal or not...?
