Good, but not as good as I hoped, 10 Feb. 2011

I had high hopes for the Wean Machine, but it isn't as good as I thought it would be. The two down sides are: 1. It doesn't get the food as small as a food processor so younger, picky babies may not like it so much. The smaller grill gets the food to stage two baby food, not stage one. 2. The food has to be much softer to be mashed by this than a food processor. I typically cook our food until it is just past tender-crispy so I have to cook much longer, almost to over-done, to use in the Wean Machine (that means baby isn't eating the food cooked the same way I made it for the family, which is why I wanted this little gadget). Once the food is soft enough for the WM, a fork can do almost as good a job, although a fork is harder work.

On the other hand, it is probably easier to transport than a hand run mill so is great when on the go, if very soft food is available. Because it can be taken completely apart, it can be cleaned easily, with no food hiding in unreachable corners. The...

sounds great but its really unnecessary & expensive, 13 Oct. 2010

I regret buying this product. I researched it and watched the video about it and was enthusiastic about using it, however, it is basically a very expensive fork!! It mashes the food up as a fork would, it's a completely unnecessary bit of kit. At a time when you are spending a small fortune on baby products/clothes/toys etc it's a cost you really don't need. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I've only used mine a few times and its such a faff as is cleaning all the parts, I wish I'd never bought it. Throw a fork into your changing bag and hang onto your money!

Very impressed, 29 Jan. 2011

I am very impressed with this product. Great idea. Guess it could be cheaper but for convenience it is unbeatable. Fully recommended.
