Customer Review: plan on buying another
Summary: 2 Stars
Like most other parents, I was happy at finding a warmer at a reasonable price, and this worked well for the first year but then it quit.
The organizer caddy was handy. It attaches to the side of your diaper table or crib with brackets that are included. Also included are some rubber "things" that help you adjust the brackets for a smaller widths; for instance, if you are attaching to a table instead of a crib. The front of the caddy is a zip-up net and inside you can fit about 15-20 diapers. There are two pockets on each side that I use to keep small bottles of lotion, diaper cream, etc. The warmer snaps onto the caddy so that it won't fall off the top easily.
It also has a tendency to "cook" the bottom wipes and turn them dark yellow to brown. It seems this is a problem with most warmers that warm from the bottom.
The wipes have a tendency to dry out, but I think that is the case with most warmers. I usually just add a bit of water every now and them to keep them from doing so (although this particular brand recommends against it, but my current one recommends TO DO it).
I was disappointed to find out that there was no warranty when it quit working. I spent the same amount of money on one at Wal-Mart and it has a 5 year warranty - long enough to at least get me through the diaper stage!
Specifics: It is plug-in and not battery operated. I think most units this size are plug-in. It fits all size wipes, but does not have the feature for pop up wipes. And it holds an entire refill size of wipes. It warms from the bottom, not the top. It is very easy to open and there is no lock for the lid. You cannot adjust the temperature. I think that is the same for most though.
Customer Review: Organizer broke within a week of my sons birth!
Summary: 1 Stars
I had the organizer all set up and stocked with diapers and wipes. Everything was blissfull for the first few days of diapering. Then the honeymoon was over. I went to pull a NEWBORN diaper out and the flimsy zipper broke. It would probably work better if there were a zipper on each side for easier loading. My changing table dresser combo unit obviously does not hold the unit as it needs to hang in order to fully function, so I hung it on the side of the crib. Not a good idea. They make the hangers so large that you need to use the plastic pieces to hold it up. They fell into the crib (luckily when my son was not in it). As the stack of diapers goes down, the organizer collapses and eventually the diapers fall out. The organizer is useless in every way except wasting my time and energy. The wipe warmer works alright. It does warm them however, if you put too many in you will have quite a few burnt ones at the bottom. If you dont put enough they will dry out really quick. I have yet to use every wipe that I put in the warmer at a time. I only change it because the wipes are burnt or dry. I hate having a warmer and having to change my son with cold wipes because the wipes went bad. One revier I read a while back said to just turn it off every now and then, that is great if you leave your house for a while and dont need it. All that saved was electricity. All the wipes were dry when I returned. However if you are like me and deem it absolutely necessary to wave warm wipes, be prepared to throw out plenty of wipes. My son is now 2 and 1/2 months old and I think I have thrown out close to 250 wipes already. I gave it one star for warming the wipes.Customer Review: Keeps His Tushy Warm!
Summary: 5 Stars
We received this as a gift and love it! It warms the wipes nicely. When we use unwarmed wipes my baby gets more upset at changes. Perhaps we are spoiling him. ;-) He is a winter baby so I'm sure he appreicates our efforts to keep his tushy warm.
The only time I have had problems with wipes drying out is when I have over filled it and the lid doesn't close tightly or I have accidently left it open. When that happens, I have just added a bit of water and it restores them nicely. I found that the bottom wipe does turn brown but only when I keep adding the fresh wipes to the top and the bottom ones were older. Now I remove the whole remaining stack and add new ones to the bottom. Even if they are slightly brown, it just looks weird. I'm pretty sure the wipes are just fine.
I do wish that it came with a pop-up adapter or something. I like the Pamper's pop-up wipes but find it difficult to pull one out because they are inner-folded and stick together. It works better with the Huggies wipes.
The only other issue is that the lid collects condensed water and I am afraid of it leaving a puddle on our furniture. So, I place it on a folded face towel and that seems to work.
Overall despite the few minor issues mentioned I am very pleased with this product.
Customer Review: Take the bad with the good
Summary: 4 Stars
The good thing about this product is that it was cheap and it gets the job done. My little one cries now when we are away from home and have to use cold wipes! She really likes the warm ones.
For awhile the doctor wanted us to use wash clothes wet with only water(they recommend this for newborns anyway). I almost died thinking about walking to the bathroom to wet a washcloth with a screaming baby for Every diaper change, but this product provided a simple solution... I wet the washcloths and stored them in the warmer. Then wiped her with warm cloths that were conviently located. We are using wipes in it now.
There are a few things I don't like. There plastic things that are supposed to make it fit better on the side of the changing table. They fall off and behind the changing table a lot which is annoying. It doesn't fit great even with the "sizers" I also don't think that the diaper stacker is useful at all I tied a ribbon around ours so that is wouldn't hang down anymore.
Also, the warmer dries out the bottom wipes and turns them yellowish, brown. I have "solved" this by leaving the same wipes on the bottom all the time.
This is a good product for the money, if you don't mind taking the bad with the good!
Customer Review: A waste of money ...
Summary: 1 Stars
As the mother of my third baby I know how important it is to have a well organized changing station. So I thought what a great idea ... it warms the wipes, holds, diapers and all baby's lotions too. WRONG! It does warm the wipes but it also dries them out in lightning fast time (2 days max) ... you can add water to them to remoisten them but this results in scalding the wipes near the bottom. The compartments on the sides of the organizer for lotion, diaper rash cream, thermometer, nasal aspirator, etc ... are virtually useless ... the items do fit in there and they FALL OUT! Small sample sizes will stay put but anyone who has a baby knows that buying in bulk saves you money. Next, the diaper storage area is so flimsy that the walls bow out away from the diapers when they are items placed in the side compartments. This results in diapers falling out of the stacker because the zipper rides up and opens. Also, I did not like the way this fit onto the crib or changing table ... the pieces used to secure it stick out and it is possible for your baby to get a hold of them.
I do not recommend this product. Save your money and warm the wipes in the palm of your hand for a few seconds before cleaning the baby with them. You'll be happier and so will your baby.
