BEABA Babycook Duo 4 in 1 Baby Food Maker, Puree Steamer and Blender for Purees, Grinder with Auto Steam Cooking, Lrg 9.1 Cup Capacity, Makes 54 Servings in 20 Mins, Oat

The media could not be loaded. Pricey but worth it!!!! Best thing I ever bought to make baby food. I’ve had it for 3 weeks now and I’m loving it. It has two sides to cook and your babies food will be ready in 15 minutes. It cooks it and blends it all in one product …. Definitely worth the price.

I was apprehensive to purchase this as it is pricey and I had a munchkin food processor. I am SO happy that I did!Quality - sturdy, no issues with operation, works as advertisedConvenient - this thing steams the raw food then you dump it into the mixer so you can control the amount of liquid (drippings) you need to add. Then blend. I put the purée into the Oxo 4 oz blocks and freeze. When LO is ready to eat I put a block in the basket and it heats it up in 9 minutes.Never have to use the microwave for baby's food.Minimal washing coz you steam and purée all in one contraption.Spatula provided is very convenient to lift out basket and scoop food.I am able to make proteins, veggies, fruit so easily that baby eats very healthy!I am glad I got the 2X coz it makes food making so much faster!Absolutely LOVE this product!!!

I have used other blenders for baby food before but decided to try this one with my new baby. Total game changer! Couldn’t be easier to use, fast and convenient. No guessing how much water to use to blend, just follow the directions for cooking in the guide. It blends very nicely. Love that you can steam and blend all in the same unit. I bought the dual to be able to prepare fruits and veggies at the same time and am so glad that I did! It’s going to be so easy to prepare healthy meals for my girl!

So far so good, at this point I have had it two weeks. Works great, easy to handle. Really makes a chunk less purée for my baby. Saw an avocado mask recipe for me I might want to try at some point. Easy to wash too, put in dishwasher with the rest of the baby dishes. Like the two sides because I can make a meal and then later have a clean side for the next one. Really happy with my purchase.

For whatever reason it started to leak water on the blender side. It also wouldn’t steam and showed only red, regardless of whatever we did to mitigate that. We were consistent in cleaning it. It came highly recommended. Our friends used theirs for 3 years. Now we have to jump through all these hoops with Beaba to get a replacement.

This product would normally get 5 stars, because I love it, but I did have to dismantle it and replace the belt upon arrival to get the blades to actually spin. I didn't mind, and their customer service rep said I could either try it myself or do an exchange and this handy girl looked at the 4 fruits and veggies already cooked up and ready to blend sitting around her kitchen and just didn't want to wait for a replacement.Aside from that, I really do love this. I was dubious about its usefulness since I already have a steamer and a food processor at home, but I'm glad I tried it. My food processor doesn't get purees smooth enough for Stage 1 and some Stage 2 foods, and I was using waaaay too many dishes and pots to get everything steamed or boiled or baked and then pureed. I imagined that this would be very limited in the size of the pitchers and I thought I wanted to make large batches of baby food at a time - but again I was wrong. Each pitcher will hold two large pears and that ends up being 13oz of baby food (less dense items like a full pitcher of broccoli will get you 7oz). Making more than that at once just meant I was filling my freezer with large batches of purees in a consistency that she'll only eat for 2 months, max. My baby needs gradually chunkier food and gradually expanding flavors, and since she doesn't eat much at each sitting and has fewer "meals" than we do anyway, the 13oz of pears will last us 10-13 days at Stage 1 and 5-6 days at Stage 2. Plus, it's EASY while making broccoli for your own dinner to just turn and throw a handful of broccoli in the Babycook and get enough portions for that night and the rest of the week. I like not having to remember how many minutes to steam each food, since the amount of water you put in controls the time it steams and almost all veggies are level 3 and almost all fruits are level 2. Easy! I'm semi-addicted to it and find 20 minutes each night to blend up whatever we have lying around, even when I'm alone with the baby. The only part you can't safely do one-handed is the chopping prep. After that I can carry my daughter around and do everything else, including get the purees into ice trays and in the freezer. Win!!Pros:Great size of pitchers means quick prep and leftovers to freezeTwo pitchers means two different foods are made easily at onceOperation is incredibly simple, and no memorization of timing is neededStylishQuieter than food processor or blenderPurees much more smoothly than food processor (pic included)Washes up easily after each batchPitchers don't stain, even after sweet potatoes and beetsSelf-contained, not a bunch of parts lying around to be stored (unlike my food processor)Requires little counter space - plenty of room in front of the machine to chop and lay out freezer traysCons:Only one side blends (but it didn't slow me down much)Had to replace the belt (hopefully not a frequent problem)Expensive

This gadget makes making homemade baby food easier than even schlepping to the store to buy pre-made baby food. It is worth every dollar. The amount of money I have already saved on baby food makes it a smart purchase. I have used this 3x a day since my baby was 4 months. The top does pop open on it's own when steaming every once in a while (the top is a bit hard to reattach correctly after removing to clean), but other than that -- this thing is incredible.I love knowing exactly what my baby is eating, and being able to make introducing and eating different foods fun for us. If you are iffy on spending more for the double sided one vs the one sided one.... hands down buy the bigger one. I started using both sides a LOT sooner than I would have expected. It saves us so much time... which is very important when you have a little one impatiently waiting in a high chair or you are running late to leave for day care drop off before work.Not gonna lie, on late nights... tired mommy and daddy may have used this once or twice to make themselves some food. BUY IT.

I love this thing! I use it to steam my baby’s veggies and fruit for soups and purées. Steams really fast, and makes fruits and veggies perfect texture for blending. It’s an all in one. Great product. I will say, when I first tried using it I thought it was broken because I didn’t know I had to put water in the water tank. I read the instructions several times and didn’t see it anywhere until I watched a YouTube video.
