LOVED this item! Got it for my baby shower and still use it to this day (my son is 7 months). Of course you do need to check the temperature of the formula and food after ANY type of heating so I am not sure why someone wouldn’t do that…but this warmer never made the food too hot unless you do not follow the water level recommendation for each type / amount of food or liquid being heated. The lines on the measurer are easy to read and the entire thing is quite easy to operate.
Definitely recommend this to any new mom!

This bottle warmer is OK. It is difficult to figure out how much water to use to get the correct temperature if you are heating less than 4 ounces. Also, it does get that gross brown stuff on the inside and all over the base – which is hard to clean up. My husband is still battling with it – I am staring to use a cup of hot water more often now. But, for the price I guess it’s not a bad deal. It should be better when we routinely need to heat more.

This is actually pretty good! I use it for warming breastmilk & formula. It took a few tries to get it perfect temperature, but I have never had too-hot milk, so my baby didn’t get hurt. There were a few times where the milk wasn’t too warm – but didn’t take long. My measuring cup’s markings did rub off after 2 months, and I contacted Munchkin and they sent me a new one for free.

The warmer made such a loud beep when it completed its task that it woke our baby up. So much so that we ended up staying near it to shut it off before it went beeping! Had to also physically pull out the power cord after each use as it had no auto shut off.

I purchased this and used it to warm my sons bottles when he was one day old and it burned the back of his throat!!! He had to stay in the hospital for 6 days in the NICU because they thought he had a viral infection when they realized that it was a burn from the bottle warmer DO NOT USE!!!!!

I thought it might have been my product but I was so glad to see that others reported it got too hot!!!

I’m currently in the process of adopting my son, and I bought this to take to Guatemala with me when I visited. It never worked – it didn’t matter how much water I put in the chamber, it would never cycle on more more than 30 seconds. I then had to wait approximately 5 minutes for it to cool back down before using it for another 30 second cycle. I ended up filling the ice bucket with hot water, and letting the bottle sit in that to warm up.

Needless to say, it’s been sent back. I think I’ll just use the microwave when the baby gets home – it’s got to be easier and quicker than this thing.
