just everything I was looking for for my 4 months old!Blade won't lock and keeps flying off.I received my first Beaba in 2014 for my first child’s baby shower. I have used it probably 3-4 nights a week for the last SEVEN YEARS. And it still works perfectly. However, now that my third son is on solids, and I’m looking at at least another 7 years of steaming veggies for dinner, I decided to upgrade my old model. WHEN I TELL YOU that this steamer feels like a LUXURY purchase i am not lying. The glass, the stainless steel, the silicone buttons, the “midnight” color way.... I am seriously obsessed with it. And it feels SAFE. The glass and stainless steel feel safe for cooking, and durable, and chemical free! If I had to complain about something- and I always find something..- is that the lids on it are light pink. Pink does not work in my kitchen or with my life and I wish it wasn’t on my beautiful midnight steamer but that’s all.Ever since I heard about the heavy metals in baby food I started looking for ways to make my own baby food and I found a couple websites talking about this product and it was made in France and not China so I can trust that the materials used aren’t toxic or low quality. It was a little pricy but man is it worth it to have peace of mind that my baby food is untainted and plastic free. I love using this thing and highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for baby food makers.A little tip- make like 30+ jars of food (buy glass jars) and stash them in the freezer. At night, but 3-4 in the fridge to thaw overnight and when you wake up the food will be thawed and ready to eat the whole day. That way you don’t have to make new food everyday. We do rotations of like 40 jars.I had to change/add onto my review because after a few more weeks of using this the plastic around the metal basket started chipping and food particles are getting stuck between the glass bowl and plastic handle. Once the plastic chips in certain areas its hard to get the item aligned for the machine to actually do its thing. I am now going through the warranty and customer service for replacement options.Very convenient to have the steamer and blender all in one. I love having the glass and stainless steel basket vs plastic. The instructions for water level depending on what you are steaming is so easy, you just fill to one of the three water level setting and push the button, it beeps when done.I’m happy I got the navy color because I noticed the white cover picked up some of the orange color from the carrot/squash combo I made the other day. I can’t get it off and can’t imagine how annoyed I’d be if the whole machine had stains on it.I wanted to like it but I HATE it! It was suppose to be a great baby cook made out of sturdy materials , easy to use and clean. But my hopes was destroyed one by one.First issue I encountered was a corrosion of steaming basket after about a month of light use. Contacted customer service, they mailed replacement in a few weeks.Then chopping blade that was supposed to be stainless steel and rust proof got bunch of rust . I took care of this machine greatly , all hand wash, no dishwasher , air dried . Contacted customer support and they accused me of cooking something inappropriate there! HELLO, I just cook veggies and some meat there for a baby! They said they will mail the replacement blade but it took them 2 full month to mail it ! How am I suppose to cook food for my baby in a rusty machine?? Customer service is bad and don’t follow up.From the design point of view this item has many flaws. To name a few:Anytime you blend food small pieces of food are being trapped in the glass bowl handle where it becomes moldy and spoiled. Yummy!! Again contacted support to show me how to clean it and it’s literally such a pain to take it apart to clean the handle and even dangerous because you have to use a knife to separate it apart.Then during cooking the water is dripping from the handle onto the counter constantly and there is always a water residue underneath the bowl.The lid is not air tight and never was. You can get burn just by standing next to it because of the hot steam coming out all over , where it not suppose to. I’ve seen same issue with other customers.And water reservoir gets horrible residue every time I cook there even though I use distilled water . So you have to descale it every few days.So much for a $270 French piece of “art”!Pleas see pics I’ve been taking for a good 2 months to clearly show how bad it isAbsolutely love our Neo. It is so easy to make homemade baby food. My son is older (9 months-ish) and just starting on more textured purées. The stage 3 store bought food constantly made him gag and he refused to eat them. Enter beaba babycook! I’ve been able to make him homemade food and control the texture. He loves mealtime now and it’s so nice being able to have more control over what I’m feeding him. I wish we would’ve purchased this sooner so I could’ve done this from the beginning.I will say it does take some practice to get the blade reattached and sealed properly. Make sure to keep the directions so you can reference the diagram.Easy to prepare food for babies. The plastic top could be designed better but overall highly recommend!We brought our Beaba baby glass food maker before our baby was born, now he is 8 month old and our beaba after 3month of use one day just exploded during operation, glass bits cut my hand and scattered everywhere! we contacted beaba and it toook them 2 WEEKs to reply us! and we end up with no baby food maker for 2 weeks!!!! then we decide to purchase again since the representative claims that our model exploded because it was a recall. I really like glass and stainless steel options when it comes to baby food making, so here we purchased again on Amazon, checked the model number, not a recall model. but guess what, it broke again !!!!! Please do not purchase this model!!!!! stay safe and try other options.While the simplicity of steaming the food and blending it with one product is great in principle there are other issues that make this product not worth the investment.Unfortunately the lid does not fit properly leading to spills while blending.All the different components make it easy for food to settle in-between the plastic and the glass, need to always completely dismantle parts to clean.White plastic stains.Selling recall item!Only used for several months, then it did't work any more. Very bad!
