Great quality. Love the window in front. Change light actually does work well to light up baby. Top is simple to pull wipes from. Keeps heat in much better than my other one. Very user friendly and well thought. Lit on/off switch has proven handy in dark room. I have many Dex items and think they do a good job with designing items. I even called their 800 number on the box and told them that another item I bought had ripped. No questions asked - no receipts - they just sent me another one. Small gesture - but they won me over with their niceness.

This product is NOT a waste at all....You just have to read the directions! IT says right in the booklet that after you put the wipes in the warmer you have to add a 1/2 a cup of water over the top of the wipes and turn on the light and wait for it to warm the wipes. (If you put the water at the bottom of the machine and turn it on then the top wipes dry out and the bottom wipes are saturated). The wipes do cool however a few seconds after pulling it out of the machine..but then again how long are you planning to hold the wipe in your hand? Pull out the wipe and wipe the baby's tushy and throw the wipe away and pull out a new one. Make sure that you close the top of the machine when you are not using the warmer to keep the most recent wipe warm and moist. Register for the item, if you like it then great, if you don't you don't lose anything....

I find myself laughing at others reviews... all the complaints are found in the directions. Place a 1/2 cup water on the TOP of the wipes IF they dry out (I did this the first time and have changed over 20 times and have never had to do it again). Also says to unplug if you're not going to use it that day- otherwise wipes WILL dry out. But when you're changing your baby everyday and wiping them everytime the wipes aren't in the warmer long enough to brown. The BEST THING about this warmer is that the warming unit is on the top! Other warmers I've tried in the past brown the wipes because they are sitting on the warming unit for days. Not with this one!! It's genius! You can use "reach in" wipes with this warmer, but since the unit is in the top "pull out" wipes are the best! (Walmart's brand of newborn wipes are awesome! they are seriously like cloth and are really well priced!) This warmer even has a light on it which helps with night changes. And unlike other warmers this one does not leak moisture. So your furniture you place it on won't get damaged (happened with past warmers i've tried). Trust me- I've tried them all... this one is the best! Just please read the directions first! :)

This particular wipes warmer really does a job in drying out the wipes. I am adding water every day to keep them moist, and I am only filling it with a half packet of wipes at a time.

The Ultimate Wipes Warmer by Prince Lionheart is a slightly better product. It has a moist pad at the base which does a better job of keeping the wipes moist, and the dispenser opening is slightly more rigid so you aren't pulling 3 wipes out with every reach.

I know this will come in handy as winter approaches, if I have the patience to continue using it.

I absolutely hated this product! My sister-in-law warned me about the "issues" with this product but I had read the box which says - No Drying or Browning of the wipes- and felt I should give it a try (I liked the night light option). Well, I found that each time I removed wipes for use, about 3-4 of them were too dry to use and I had to throw them away. I even tried to use the foam insert from the Prince Lionheart warmer but that didn't help either. Finally I tossed the thing and bought another brand warmer and so far so good. The moral of my story - don't believe the hype (on the box) and don't buy this warmer!

We returned the Lionheart warmer and got this instead. This one works MUCH better. It actually keeps the wipes warm and is easy to use. The light can be handy although we dont use it much. Its also easy to see if you are running low on the wipes rather than get suprised when you pull out the last one. If you need a wipe warmer, this is the one to buy.

Good wipy warmer but you have to use Huggies pop-up wipes and add 2 onces of water every time you refill wipes. If you don't want dry brown wipes use water like the instructions recommend. If you use Pampers pop up wipes when you reach for a wipe you can't disattach it. It takes like three wipes before you can pull it away and it's a waste of wipes. The wipes come out warm but if you let out for a bit they become cold really fast. So be ready to wipe when you pull it out of the warmer. I give it a four star rating because it took me a while to figure out what kind of wipes to use and adding water is annoying. But it's no big deal and it's worth it. Now that winter is coming I'm glad I have it.
Forgot to mention that there are new Huggies refill bags that come in a ziploc kind of bag. If you buy these you can add the right amount of wipes in warmer and avoid the rest of them drying up in the bag.

I got laughed at for purchasing this item. Yep, I am "one of those Moms", but I have to say it was one of the best purchases. When my son was born he HATED getting his diaper changed. The minute I used the warm wipes, it was a whole new ball game. No more complaints, no more fussiness. In fact, just the opposite, he loves his changing table. He is now 3 months old and still laughs the minute I place him on the changing table. He can now use cold or warm wipes, but I continue to use the warmer because I love it so much. And I am sure he will too come winter!

I have one of these without the nighlight. The light is just over the top. With that said, this has worked for us greatly. Some parents don't think its worth it, but our little one and us think its great. Just make sure you follow the directions and use pop-up wipes. The best deal I found for the pop-ups is the Sam's Club brand one.

This was well worth the money. I was looking for a top warming model due to all the negative comments I had heard about replacement parts of other types and the inability to find the refills, browning of wipes, etc. This also had some negative reviews... but I must say... the people that reviewed it negatively must have gotten a dud or didn't follow the instructions well enough.
I took another mom posters suggestion to keep a sqeeze bottle full of filtered water (i refill it with the brita pitcher) by the wipes warmer to sqeeze in every time you add new wipes. That keeps everything moist and works well. Also when I add new wipes I add them to the bottom - so I never have old wipes wasting away. I use the Kirklands wipes that are bought in bulk from Costco... and am able to fit about 80% of the package in there without problem. The left over ones I also used a suggestion from another poster "mom" to put them in a freezer storage bag (the only bag big enough to fit them) and keep them nearby. I have this sitting on top of the Prince Lionheart, "Diaper Depot"... and since it's bigger than the space alloted in the depot for wipes, it leaves space below the warmer for the left over wipes. :) The only thing I would mention is that the light really isn't that great. I have the lamp light in the changing room on all the time, so in comparison it doesn't even match up. The other thing is that I read a bunch of people that wrote the latch locks broke... mine has been great and has had no issue with that - so I guess take your own risks... but for me this was a great buy! My little girl cries less with the warm wipes than before with the cold ones on her bottom. I do have the warmer placed an inch from the changing table (its on a diaper depot hanging on the side of the changing table), so they don't have time to get cold before they hit her bottom. But if you don't have a set up like that I can see how they would get cold fast.

Either way - worth the money, and the decrease in late night changing screams! :)
