Comments: Baby Brezza’s One Step Baby Food Maker used to get universally positive reviews from readers. Convenience was the biggest plus to this combination steamer/food processor. Here’s how it works: add your cut up veggies, meat, fish or fruit, pour in a little water and press the button. First, the Brezza steams the food (there are multiple cook times so you can decide how long to cook), then when the cooking is done, it purees the food. You can choose to puree the item smoothly or a little more chunky.
The Brezza is BPA free and allows you to reheat or defrost foods. The bowl and blade are top rack dishwasher safe. One complaint: the batch size is small (two and a half cups), so if you want to make a month’s worth of food, you’ll need to make several batches. Many accessories are available including a grains steamer, although that makes this expensive appliance even more costly. One last note: you’ll have to clean the steam tank periodically with white vinegar and distilled water.
Baby Brezza also makes a version with a 4-cup capacity glass bowl and a Complete version with a 3-cup capacity that also includes three baby food pouches.
Complaints have surfaced about paint flaking off into the food bowl and the motor breaking. More recent complaints note the plastic work bowl broke. Parents really likes the product at first, but note that problems arose after a few weeks or months.
These complaints about quality control issues and poor customer service concern us, so we’re going to lower the rating on the Brezza. Rating: C-
Dear baby Bargains,
I really love your web and all rating, I got 7th edition from mom to mom sale for free, and it helps me lot. Recently, I decide to use your website, because lot of update!! while today I trying to buy a baby processors to my 4 month baby. At the beginning I was plan to buy the babyBrezza which is the best the recommend from your first page, the steam sounds really good to me. I was a food safety master in the past 2 years, so steam sounds really good idea for me. I double checked the amazon’s reviews found several mom talked about healthy issue about the coating flaked, it sounds so scared. If I didn’t do deep research I would buy babyBrezza too, if the coating flacked off. I will blame your website forever and don’t believe your review anymore. So, for your good and any lazy customers who didn’t read your brand reviews or not check amazon, I believe it is better to remove the recommend for this products from the first page.
Regards,
Ran
Hi Ran: Thanks for that feedback—we have taken a look at those customer reviews and have adjusted the rating for this product. We agree the quality concerns (flaking coating, units that malfunction after a couple months use) are troubling. Thanks for taking the time to post your comment.
