The Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep Machine is a lifesaving device for parents who want to make a bottle of formula quickly and easily. We introduced it into our home a few weeks ago with zero regrets...
This game changing machine prepares a bottle of formula in just two minutes (10x faster than a kettle), delivering the perfect body temperature that baby can drink straight away. It does this by releasing an initial ‘hot-shot’ of water into the bottle. At 70°C, this also kills bacteria that may be present in the formula and will also help to dissolve the powder quickly and easily.
The easy-to-use device features a simple button interface that allows you to select the size of the bottle you want to make, ranging from 4fl oz to 11fl oz, and then the machine does the rest. It works with any brand of powdered formula milk and has an adjustable base to suit different bottle shapes and sizes. It also uses tap water, so there is no need to use bottled or filtered water. It simply houses a filter that features a filtration membrane that is designed to remove bacteria, impurities, and contaminants.
The machine boasts a sleek design and a bright LED display, fitting beautifully into any interiors space. It is also easy to clean and maintain, thanks to a self-cleaning mode that makes regular maintenance - an important factor with anything baby-related - a real breeze. The device itself prompts you to provide necessary TLC, whether that is running a cleaning cycle or descaling cycle, or changing the filter.
The Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep Machine features a digital display with step-by-step instructions, a night-light to ease nighttime feeds , and adjustable volume for quiet alerts. It comes with an anti-bacterial filter, a 150ml bottle 0m+ with a slow flow teat, and a storage lid. Not forgetting a 12 month manufacturers guarantee. It also is energy saving, using 17x less electricity than a kettle.
If I had to find any downsides - and trust me it's hard - the machine requires a filter to function correctly and filters need to be replaced every few months, depending on usage, meaning the Perfect Prep Machine comes with additional costs (each filter is £13.29).
Overall, this device is a great investment for parents who want to simplify their formula preparation process for speedy results. It's efficient, convenient, and fool proof, and I can't recommend it enough. When our son started using formula, our nighttime time feeds were very stressful. He would wake up screaming for milk but the warmer we would use would take several minutes to heat up the formula. This may not seem like much but when your baby is crying, it feels like forever. We've started using the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep™ Day & Night with our second baby and wow does it change everything. Now when she wakes screaming, we get up, hit that all important power button and, in just two minutes, have the perfect bottle ready to feed her.
The Perfect Prep Machine costs £165 and is available from John Lewis, Amazon, Boots, and Argos, as well as tommeetippee.com.
