This item has honestly been the biggest life saver ever!! As a new Mum this product has been incredible, there’s so many things we need to do as a parent and this just makes this task so much quicker. It’s simple to use, and I love the additional features that tell you want needs to be done to the many one - filter change, low water, etc.
This is the best invention ever. It’s so easy and quick to make a bottle, which is a must have when you have a baby screaming because they need a bottle immediately. Can be used for sterile drinking water for little one too.
My only issue is as on hot days when temps were high indoors it would not work. This is probably to do with the temps not being correct for the perfect bottle which is understandable but that is not easy to explain to a crying/hungry baby. Would definitely recommend though, just keep a jug of water in the fridge on hot days .
I love this product. It has made those late night early morning feeds much easier I used for both of my children and have found they’re easy to clean and maintain and have never had a problem ordering filters - usually on next day service. However I have found on hotter days this summer it has failed me and stopped working all together which has been a pain however it’s a minor with all of the time it’s saved me otherwise. Bottle is always at a perfect temperature for baby & ready within 2 minutes!
Only thing I found was finding the filter replacement were hard to get hold of

The tommee tippee perfect prep machine is amazing. At 1st I didn't think I needed this product when my daughter was born although I'd had this recommended by a few friends. A few weeks into the night feeds I soon decided to give this is try as I was sick of waiting for bottles to cool whilst trying to keep my eyes open. Amazing!!! In just a few minutes I had a bottle ready to feed my baby prepped to the perfect temperature. This product saved me and my precious sleep which as we all know can be hard to come by with a baby around. Happy mum, happy baby.
It’s so easy to use you just need to push one button!

You have to buy filters

Great product I started giving my little one bottles at 4 months and it save my life with the temperature and how quick it was, before we had this he would cry and fuss over too hot or cold and hated the waiting. I’m so glad I got it. It’s so quick you don’t even need to wait for it heat up and it’s sooooo easy to use you only push one button. I could not recommend it more highly. It works with other bottles so not tied to the tommee tippee ones, which is really useful.
This has made bottle feeding so easy! I can’t believe I ever lived without one before. The prep machine is something I recommend to all expectant parents now if they’re planning on formula feeding at all. This is so easy to use and makes feeding much easier and making bottles as and when you need them much easier!
I wanted to get one of these for my first baby 4 years ago but didn't, had a baby recently and finally got one... It is a life saver!! It was easy to set up, easy to up keep, and takes 2 minutes to make a perfect bottle of milk. You have to use the tommee tippee filters and change them every 2-3 months (the machine tells you when you need to change it) and they are slightly expensive but I think it's worth it.
Very easy to use, makes a bottle very fast when you’ve got a little one waiting for milk. Easy to change the filter and clean. Would highly recommend and I’m sure baby would too :)
I was gifted this as a present and I'm so glad I have this in my life. The ease and quickness is amazing and it automatically being the right temperature is great for a crying baby. Because as all mothers know trying to wait for a bottle to cool down and your baby crying for hunger can be long and stressful
Easy to use, easy to keep clean, makes life especially night feeds sooooooo much easier
Weaknesses:
Cartridge gets changed often and its somewhat pricey- would be fantastic if it would self dispense

For the first few months I didn’t use my prep machine as was breastfeeding but my god it is a life saver when baby is on formula! Makes bottles the perfect temperature in less than a minute! So much easier than faffing around with a kettle then running it under cold water! Definitely worth the price I paid.
We purchased the Tommee Tippee machine 2 days after bringing our son home, after 2 days of having a baby screaming at you for milk whilst you’re quickly trying to cool the bottle under the tap makes you rethink feeding times! Once this arrived it truly was a life saver, as soon as I notice the baby stirring I can make up a bottle in a couple of minutes. It’s so easy to use and makes the bottles at the perfect temperature every time. The only down side is it can be a little noisy, however I just make sure I close the kitchen door not to wake my partner with all of the beeping.
When I had my daughter I had a emergency c section which meant I was unable to do a lot of things and one of them was running around doing bottles, so my partner set me up this machine and it was so much easier, the only downfall was that it only makes 4oz to start with and my new born only drank 2-3oz which meant I wasted a lot of milk.
I was unsure about this product at first as I had heard mixed reviews, but me and my partner love this product! It makes bottle time a lot easier we’ve tried doing it the ‘old fashion way’ as many call it and with a newborn we couldn’t always time exactly when she would want her bottle so it became very difficult to cool it down in time for her not to have a meltdown! With this machine the bottle is made within 4 minutes start to finish and just really easy to use! Can change how many ounces easily and daily maintenance is easy, some of the deeper cleaning can take time so make sure you know you don’t have to do a feed anytime soon. The one thing we didn’t like was how loud the machiene actually was it beeps after the hot shot and after the cold water and it’s fairly loud! To which it wouldn’t matter if your baby was awake whilst making the bottle but if your trying to get one ready in time for them it could possibly wake them. Overall I do love this product and couldn’t imagine myself without it now. Just make sure you read all the instructions properly and clean regularly!
It made the bottles very quickly.
We felt our bottles were quite foamy and our little one already had reflux so we went back to boiling the kettle.
It's an expensive way to save some time.
You have to buy and change the filters every so often and clean the machine out.
Also the water doesn't boil it goes to 70c so it's not killing bacteria that a kettle would unless you fill with cooled boiling water.
This had been a life saver, it’s the item i always recommend to new mums, I have the black which looks nice in the kitchen. It’s brilliant especially when you’re exhausted
Fast and convenient way to make bottles. In summary you put the required scoops of formula into a bottle (no less than 4oz though) and the machine puts in a “hotshot” of water at 70degrees which will kill any bacteria. The system then fills the remainder of the bottle to body temperature.
If you accidentally press the button to many time’s you have to start again (easy to do when rushing)
I don’t know what the difference is between the day and night models (other than seeing the display in the dark?) so I don’t think it’s worth the extra cost.
In summary due to the sheer convenience I think this is a must have for anyone preparing formula feeds.
We were given this machine by a friendly couple highly recommended.
It has saved a lot of stress and hustle indeed especially on night feeds.
The only downside is that you can’t control temperature. I sometimes need to add a dash of kettle water to make milk warmer.
Brilliant product, as a first time mum I really would be lost without it. I heard mixed reviews at first but so glad I decided to get it. Makes night feeds in them first few weeks so much easier! I am lost without it and hate it when I’m out and about and have to use the traditional method! 10/10 product will certainly buy again if I have any more children.
As a first time mum I would highly recommend this product, when switching from breastfeeding to formula I was worried about the process of safely preparing formula, this product has taken that worry away and gets a ready to drink bottle in a few minutes (amazing for 3am feeds!) I find it easy to use and maintain and would recommend this to everyone
Wish there was a mini portable version so I could carry this when out and about. When my baby was having formula this was a life saver. We bought it just after 4 months of her being born. I did combo first then just formula and kettle business just took long. This was and is the best invention ever. I would always recommend this and live by this. Love it. No issues except cleaning takes a while. And I wish the filters were a bit cheaper.
Amazing time saving piece of equipment! Foolproof to use. Takes the worry out of making up bottles as I know each one has the right amount of formula and is served at a good temperature for my son.
Easy to clean and replace filters. The machine lets you know when it needs to be decalcified/have a new filter and there are easy to follow tutorials on YouTube as well as step by step instructions in the manual.
I love the fact that the bottles are made up so quickly as my baby gets impatient for his feeds very quickly when he’s hungry.
Makes bottles at the perfect temperature super quick and easy. Easy to set up and use, 2 minutes to shake is plenty of time.
We take ours with us when we go away, easy to empty and quick to refill. Easy to maintain as well, monthly hot water flushes and 3 monthly filter changes are easy to do.
