2+ moms - Baby food question (XP)

I'm putting my registry together with an eye towards getting items for when the little one is older. I really wanted to make my own baby food and, while i realize that steaming and then processing food is not that difficult, i had seen this baby food maker - The Beaba baby food maker (see link below):

https://www.amazon.com/Beaba-Babycook-Baby-Food-Maker/dp/B001LQCOIS

It looks really handy but has gotten some really, really mixed reviews.... thought i'd go straight to the source and see what moms have done in the past and if anyone has any opinions on this - waste of money or time saver? TIA!

  • You'll get mixed reviews here as well, but I love mine.  I don't have a food processor (don't need one other than when I made baby food) and I liked that it was fairly self-contained.

  • I considered getting this - but I already had a Cuisinart food processor and decided against spending the money. I'm glad I did not get it.  We have made all of our own baby food and it worked just fine using the food processor.  Plus - its one less thing to take up space in my kitchen. Good luck.
  • I just used a blender and it worked out fine.

  • I know you probably can't put this on your registry, but honestly I would recommend a good cuisinart food processor.  Something you can use for a long time after your baby food making days are over.  Just pick up a simple steamer basket and you can steam things in a regular pot.

  • The grand majority of people seem to think that it's a waste of money - i think i'll just invest in a good food processor for myself once we get to that stage of life rather than going the baby food processor way, based on you ladies' recommendations. Thanks for all the input!

    same here, loved mine. and esp liked that you can steam veggies/fruit and the just dump right in the same unit to blend/process, which you can't do with a food processor. i would recommend it.
