Baby Food Maker, worth the $$?

msohn80 · October 2011

I admit.. I really don't need a Baby Food Maker since I already have a full-size food processor & a blender. But I am such a huge kitchen gadget wh*re. ;-)

I'm especially eyeing either "Beaba" or "Baby Brezza". Does anyone have one of these? Please share your experience with it.

Im just buying a food processor...check out reviews first, ive read a lot of bad things about beaba..like it being hard to clean which can lead to mold

i am the same exact way.. i have a full size food processor but i find myself pondering the baby bullet or something.. i know i dont want to buy jars of food so i think it is worth it to make your own, not to mention healthier. what product to buy to do it is the question though.

btw, your baby is absolutely adorable!

To answer your original questions, "Is it worth the money?" No. Not if you already have a food processor. That's what I have been using. Good ol' Black and Decker food processor, and it works perfectly.

I found a Kalorik machine on clearance for $15 at TJ Maxx; that was worth it. Otherwise it is not a lot of food you are making at once. I roasted some sweet potatoes and used my food processor, much easier!

I posted something similar a few weeks ago and everyone told me I didn't need one. I bought a baby brezza anyway. I LOVE it. I know I could use the food processor I already own, but I really think this is easier. I wanted to be able to steam veggies, so I would have used a steamer and then had to transfer everything to the food processer. With the baby brezza you only have to use/clean the one basket and you just hit a button and walk away. It steams the food and then when it's done it purees it. You can literally just stick some veggies in it and walk away and when you come back, it's baby food. You definitely don't need it and if you are planning on making huge batches to freeze, it won't be big enough. However, if (like me) you want to be able to easily make a smaller portion of baby food from whatever veggies your family is eating, it makes things really easy.

It is worth it to me, but we only have a working blender currently. But even if our food processor hadn't died, I would still buy one because cleaning that big thing every time would be a major pain in the ass imo.

I have been looking at the Baby Bullet and think it looks like a pretty good deal. It does not have a steamer, but that's something I can do easily on my own. Plus it looks cute, and has great reviews.

I'm going to use my regular magic bullet

I use my magic bullet and it is wonderful... however, I wish I would have just purchased the baby bullet instead. The sizes of the containers is much nicer.

I have the Baby Brezza and love it!

It's so easy to use! You simply chop the veggies and add water, and this machine really does the rest. Just measure 160ml of water and add your fruits and veggies. Then, hit the steam or blend button. If you use the steam and blend cycle, it automatically switches from steam to blend.

I was able to make carrots and apples for my daughter in just 15-20 minutes!

It's also easier to clean than the Beaba. You can put the lid, bowl and blade on the top rack of the dishwasher.
