5.0 out of 5 stars compared to the KidCo food mill, June 4, 2010

I prefer this in almost all ways to the KidCo food mill of similar shape and function. (This is not to say the KidCo is a bad product. I simply prefer the Green Sprouts one. The one reason I can see for the KidCo might be if your baby is just starting solid foods, and this is because the KidCo has smaller holes in the grinding surface and hence makes food slightly less textured. The KidCo also came with an extra gasket, and some versions come with a carrying case.)

Pros of the Green Sprouts:
--Bigger overall, meaning more room in the base to fill with food and more room in the bowl for milled food. It also has a 'pour' spout on the bowl.
--Easier to understand. The Green Sprouts directions were longer and clearer.
--Easier to use. The KidCo is stiffer and harder to push down and harder to turn.
--Easier to disassemble. The KidCo is a pain in the rear to get apart. I often have to jam a toothpick in one of the holes in the grate to get the top to unscrew. By comparison, I just tighten the easy-turn knob on the Green Sprouts' central post and then unscrew the top.
--Easier to clean. I frequently have to painstakingly use a toothpick to poke food out of the tiny holes in the grate on the KidCo. With the Green Sprouts the holes are bigger and food rinses right out.
--Stainless steel both on the turning part that crushes the food and on the grate that the food squishes through.

(As for the reviewer who had this 'explode'... it must either be a fluke or she was grinding counterclockwise instead of clockwise. I have never had that problem with this mill, nor do I see how it would even be possible.)

Keep in mind that this isn't a blender and food will end up a bit textured. But for what it claims to do, the Green Sprouts carries through 100%.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easy to use, doesn't quite puree, January 21, 2010

This food mill doesn't make food really smooth, which you might want if your child is under 6 months, but it does a great job with quickly mashing foods provided they are cooked well to begin with. It does seem to separate out thick skins or pieces of a vegetable that are too hard for a baby to eat, but it's not perfect in this regard (ie. with a sweet potato, I've found bits of skin that made it into the mash, though for the most part, the skin was separated). Overall, I've found it very useful to make small amounts of food, especially while traveling. It looks great, is very easy to clean, and kinda fun to use. But if you're looking for a smooth puree, this is not going to cut it for you.

I have the kidco version in white. I use it every day multiple times. I adore it but it is small and I had some anxiety that it was made prior to pbc awareness and might have bad chemicals, so purchased this second version. It arrived and looked fabulous - great color, bigger bowl - exact copy of the kidco. BUT......Wow is it not the kidco. For some unknown reason it comes apart - dare I' say EXPLODES - every time I puree. Although it twists together, for some reason the design lets it slip backwards and literally explode in my hands every time I use it. As a busy mom trying to puree for her kids, 1/2 mashed carrots all over my stove is a bloody nightmare. Also, the suction loop gets too lubricated and it drips enormous amounts of liquid through the base. Overall I would say it is a complete disaster. How can it look so similar and act so differently? Don't know, but don't say I didn't warn you!!

addendum: I just want to add that it is possible there was some problem with mine if other folks are not having problems. This type of food puree machine is completely indispensible to a mom making her baby's food. When I let them know I was having a problem with the product, they were BAR NONE the best customer service department I have ever encountered. I hope mine was a weird one. But the kidco version was my back-up when this one ended up being such a problem, and it has never exploded or leaked.
