I purchased this item after hearing comments that a unit that heats from top down works better. I was highly disappointed with this unit as it does not heat the entire wipe, wipes must always be filled to the top and the wipe cools down too quickly. Unfortunately I don't have the original box therefore cannot return the item. I am now going to purchase a warmer that is sold from One Step Ahead that also heats wipes from top down but is not something that attaches to a wipe box. Through friends I have heard this other unit works great and have been reassured that I won't be disappointed. Hopefully BabiesRUs will sell this other item in the future.

I wish I had kept the box!

This arrived as a gift off our registry. I attached it to a box of wipes two days ago and plugged it in. My goodness! It bakes the top piece of the wipe that is sticking out of the pull-slot, but the rest of it is cool.

Plus, the adhesive on the gizmo doesn't really stick. How would this be good for travel? You'd have to keep your original wipes box for all the years you have babies!

Lastly, the fire hazard thing freaks me out. It's probably not a huge deal, but I feel like I am leaving an iron on a stack of tissues. Just my paranoia, maybe.

I like the warm wipes idea because I don't think my child is going to be the type to tolerate a cold wipe on her bottom. (Her Mama isn't that type!) But someone needs to invent a wipes case that is battery operated and durable.

The idea of a nice warm wipe is great, but the product falls short in perfomance. The warmer is designed for a non-popup type of wipe box. (If you use pop up wipes, just the part sticking out of the box gets warm, and the rest is cold. If you use the other type of wipe box, it works ok as long as you always keep the wipe box full, which isn't always realistic for a moms and dads. I am returning mine to the store. :(

Only the top 1/4 of the wipes are warm... if you don't refill the container continously, wipes get cold. Plus, you might consider the ease of use with a pop-up warmer.

I purchased this wipe warmer because I didn't want a warmer that heats all the wipes. Those cause the bottom wipes to dry out and thus be useless. The top down warmer is supposed to heat only the top few wipes. Well, this warmer only heated the top section of the top wipe that sticks out of the top of the box. It didn't even heat the whole wipe! I am returning the warmer. It is a complete waste of money.

This product does what it says it will do on the box, it warms up the first couple of wipes that you use. It is a nice product to have.

I am a first time expectant mother and like most excited moms-to-be, I read pretty much all of the reviews on every item I need to register for or buy for baby. However, the helpful hint I have to give comes from my other half who already has a son and has used a wipe warmer. He said the wipe warmers that heat from the bottom up (heat ALL of the wipes) are a waste of money because by the time you get to the bottom wipes....they are dried out from being continuously reheated. They basically lose their moisture which defeats the purpose of a wipe in the first place and you end up throwing a bunch of them out without the benefit of using them first. We opted to go with this one because it seems to be smaller (more convenient for travel which we will do a fair amount of) and it heats just the first few wipes which is usually all you need for a diaper change. Some mothers would say this is not really a necessary thing to have (after all, babies lived through diaper use just fine before these things were invented), but because our baby will be born during the winter, I thought this would have more use for us. I gave this product four stars because we haven't tried it yet....but just wanted to pass that helpful hint along to other mothers who are interested in practicality and saving money and hopefully not losing quality in the process.
