Okay, let’s talk about this baby food maker that’s been sitting on my counter for months. Spoiler: It’s a mixed bag but mostly good!

The Good Stuff: First off, the 4-in-1 function is LEGIT. Steaming carrots while blending yesterday’s batch? Done. Defrosting frozen puree? Easy. It’s way faster than juggling pots and blenders. The nutrient retention claim holds up—my pediatrician even complimented how vibrant the veggie purees looked (mom win!).

User-Friendly? Yes! My sleep-deprived brain mastered the knob controls in seconds. The safety lock is genius (no accidental puree explosions). And the 400ml capacity? Perfect for batch-cooking a week’s supply. I’ve even used it to steam veggies for my own salads—multi-tasking queen!

The Not-So-Good: The blade design is... finicky. Tiny bits get stuck, so you’ll be scraping sides mid-blend. Also, that plastic smell? It lingered for the first 5 uses (I ran vinegar cycles to fix it). Cleaning is tedious—those crevices trap spinach like it’s treasure.

Verdict: 4/5 stars. It’s not perfect, but for $60-ish, it’s a solid investment. Pro tip: Buy a mini brush for cleaning and always use distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. Would I repurchase? Probably—but I’d hope for a V2 with better blades!
