I like this little processor for mixing up small quantities of food. True, it doesn't hold a ton, but I does what I bought it for - I make a few days worth at a time.

- Holds about 8 oz of food comfortably at a time (so it mixes well, etc)
- I think this is a good size to make fresh food and to try new foods (without making a bunch if it's not a hit!)
- Pretty easy to clean
- Just 4 parts, so easy to assemble and use
- It's not super heavy duty, so I do chop things up a good amount before putting them in there

All in all, I think it's worth it. I didn't have a regular food processor and for me a blender just didn't work quite right and I thought it was harder to get the food mixed.
Some hints I also found when investigating making baby food are:
- After mixing if you want to freeze any, just use ice cube trays. Each cube is about 1 oz and once they're frozen, pop them out and put in a zip-loc for storage.
- If you're just getting started, I thought this website was useful and had good ideas - - wholesomebabyfood

Good luck!

I tried this before my baby was born and I like it. I needed some fresh fruit for my 6 month old niece. She was having bowel issues I was told to give her fresh fruit in stead of jars. It did not take long the food to look like the stage 2 foods in the store. I saw the blade goes up and down to try to get all the food. I defiantly recommend this to any one who want the best food for there baby. Home made food is so much healthier for babies than jar stuff, in my opinion.

I saw in some reviews that people did not like this processor because it would only chop foods like carrots, apples and pears. I would like to make a comment to that. Check any cook book and in order to puree any of those foods you need to boil them first. So please don't use that review for your opinion. Would you eat veggies with out cooking them first! Take what you make for your table and then put it in the processor for the baby, and add a small amount of milk to make it softer!

I just started using this product to make baby food for my daughter. I really like it. It is easy to assemble and use, easy to clean, just great. It isn't anything fancy to do all kinds of stuff with, but for making baby food it's just perfect.

This is a great processor for baby food!!! The warning is that there is a plastic seal in the lid that contains the blade that is removable. Beware that it can slip out and become part of the baby's food with out notice. This did occur and plastic had to pass through my daughter.
Buyer Beware.

The company had little response.

I think that this food processor is a bit small for when you want to do big batch of food but I love it because :

1. It gives a really smouth purees
2. It's easy to clean (diswasher !!!)
3. Usefull even with toddlers who are not always comfortable with meat.

I HAVE ALWAYS WONDERED ABOUT BABY FOOD, THINGS LIKE WHAT DO THEY PUT IN THE BABY FOOD TO MAKE IT LAST SO LONG ? SO I DECIDED TO PURCHASE THIS PROCESSOR. THIS ITEM IS THE BEST THING THAT I COULD EVER HAVE, ITS EASY TO CLEAN, EASY TO USE, ITS SMALL ENOUGH NOT TO TAKE SO MUCH SPACE IN MY KITCHEN AND BIG ENOUGH TO MAKE FOOD FOR MY TWIN GIRLS. IM VERY HAPPY AND PROUD OF THIS ITEM. I WOULD SUGGEST EVERY FAMILY TO HAVE THIS.

MY GIRLS ARE NOW TRYING OUT DIFFERENT TABLE FOOD, ITS SO EASY TO USE, I JUST PUT SOME OF WHATEVER I AM EATING INTO THE PROCESSOR AND MIX SOME FOR THE BABIES TO GET USED TO THE TASTE OF TABLE FOODS. THIS WAY MY TRASSITION TO TABLE FOOD WOULD BE MUCH EASIER CAUSE THEY ALREADY KNOW THE TASTE OF THE NEW FOOD.

I really am happy with this processor. I have been using it for 6 months now and mine has not chipped or had any problems. The only food I have a problem getting to the right consistency is meat-everything else works great in here! And I like that it is small enough that I can take it in my diaper bag if I want to take it somewhere. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this little machine with the idea of making healthy baby food. The first time I used it resulted in potential disaster! The plastic ring fell of and blended into the baby food! My husband, not wanting to waste our first efforts with organic pears, decided to eat it and found that nearly every bite contained at least one piece of plastic! I am amazed that this product exists!

It is what you'd expect... A food processor. It does process food to a baby food consisency quickly and efficently as well as anything else you might consider tossing in there. The blade is on a tilt which purees better. Be careful though, the blade is a bit on the wimpy side. Because the motor is on top it's easy to clean All the parts that need cleaning can be tossed in the Dishwasher. And you never really need to wipe down the motor.

All in all it's a good machine and easy to use and clean, however nothing so revolutionary that you could save $10 on a more conventional small processor, with a better blade.

I've been using this processor for a couple of months now, and my baby likes the fresh food much better than the jarred stuff. It's very small, so you can't make a huge quantity of food at one time, but it's perfect for making food for one or two meals. Baked chicken, mashed (or baked) potatoes, and canned peas with a little water (for example) mix up into a stage 2 consistency in seconds. It is always neccesary to add a little liquid (water, milk, soup stock, juice) to the mix to make it blend well.
It's easy to use and clean. I wash it by hand, and yes, the blade has some nooks you have to get into. Try a bottle or nipple brush. It's not a problem. I havn't had any problems with chipping or with the blades, and I use it every day.
All in all, a very useful little gadget.
