The First Years Smartwarmer

I did my research on bottle warmers and settled on the Baby Pro Smart Warmer. I love how it's customizable and you only have to press one button after you set it up. The buttons are self explanatory and it heats the formula quickly. There is no need to refill water everytime you use it, just once in awhile. You do have to play around to find the best settings but after that, you just press one button.

The only thing that is problematic is that the beeping is very loud, although there is an option to turn it off. I leave it on so I can know when it's done when I'm in another room.

I purchased this at a store, foolishly not reading the reviews beforehand. Setting it appropriately is non-trivial, especially when you have to explain it to anyone. When properly set, milk and formula warmth is inconsistent. Sometimes it is scalding, sometimes it doesn't seem to warm at all. Generally it under-warms, so we have to set it a higher setting and then run the bottles under cold water afterwards to insure a usable temperature. I've had the product completely fail to work on a couple occasions, which have required unplugging it to reset it. At 3 am, I want to be able to throw a bottle into the warmer, hit the start button and come back when it's ready and know that it's ready, which I can't do with this product.

I have used this bottle warmer for about a year now and it has suddenly started to leak on the bottom. I looked underneath it and realized there is a crack because the screw used to hold the plastic together has rusted and caused a line crack in the plastic. Of course it is out of warranty now. Prior to this, I had the same warmer but returned it to the store since the electronics were not working properly. Like one user said, it has a mind of its own and I believe the electronics on it were fried. It also cracked one of our glass bottles and the glass bottle shattered when we took it out. So I would not buy this warmer again. I wanted a cheap warmer but I guess you get what you pay for. Never again.

I have the older version of this product, and LOVE it. It's grey, but looks exactly the same. I tried a few other warmers at first, but they did not do the job like this one does, plus other warmers had weird quirks, were not user friendly, etc. I tried an Avent one that said you had to refill every time you warmed, or check the water (too high maintenance), also Munchkin one from Target that sucked completely--didn't warm at all, plus you had to refill water constantly also. I actually purchased two of these warmers, one for upstairs and downstairs (I got mine from Target for $41 each), then they went on clearance for $20. (I had two babies, 13 months apart). Unfortunately Babies R Us doesn't carry this item, and Target no longer does. I never saw the item anywhere else (than Target) but Amazon. I am so dependent on these warmers that I bought a third warmer (when it was on clearance, just in case). I've recommended this to a friend, also. So far the other two warmers have been fine, my sister is pregnant now, so I plan to give her the unopened warmer I bought months ago. I really like how the buttons are user-friendly, consistent (if used properly), and low maintenance. I try to keep the water filled in the reservoir, but it's unnecessary, I believe you need to fill only once daily. I also have the Avent bottles (which I LOVE also), I bought the blue ones for my son & pink for my daughter. One word of advice, since the bottles are plastic, I noticed that you must go up on the volume settings, so it gets the milk to the right temp (for example, if there's 5 oz of milk, then warm the bottle at 6-7 oz). I read somewhere that if glass bottles are used, then you go by the exact volume, since glass is more sensitive to the heat. Of course, this is has been my experience with my warmers. (Make sure you check the milk temp regardless!) Also, sometimes when my babies don't finish their bottles right away, it's easy to re-warm the milk, just adjust the setting to room temp. I have used both breast milk and Enfamil formula constantly in these warmers, and have not been disappointed one bit. I'm surprised that people have given them such bad reviews. Honestly, I could say I've gotten my money's worth for this item, and haven't even done the recommended descaling (that's recommended for many products like sterilizers/warmers/etc.) in the now nearly 16 months of using them--that's how low maintenance it is! The buttons are user friendly, with settings to warm different volumes, different temps, different sizes of bottles (and baby food jars--although I never used it for baby food), and breast milk/formula. Very smart warmer!!

I used this bottle warmer for 10-11 months (as long as my son was picky) and never had a problem with it. I had a tommee tipped bottle warmer previously and that thing just kept cooking the milk, I love that this one stops on it's own and lets you know when it is done. It is also great to have the customizability for the varying types of milk/formula/food and how it has been stored. I would definitely buy again.
