Editorial Review

About the size of a coffee maker, this electric baby bottlecooler/warmer will be a big convenience for bleary-eyed parents who are tired ofstumbling down to the kitchen in the middle of the night. At the rear of theunit, an insulated compartment keeps two 8-ounce bottles cool for up to eighthours. (There's no refrigerant, just a specially shaped container that can befilled with water, frozen, and then slipped into place.) At the front, anelectrically heated water container produces steam, which heats one bottle tothe correct temperature in about five minutes. There's also a night-light builtinto the front of the unit. Note that the unit cannot be used with glass bottles. Read more

Nice for some but no longer necessary
This was nice to have when I was pumping. I'd wake up in the middle of the night and heat up my daughter's bottle. Now that I'm formula feeding, it's not necessary.

Looking for a better mouse trap...
I've heard some say this is the best warmer available.If so, parents are S.O.L. Heating is SO inconsistent. Same amount of water with the same amount of milk will produce a different temperature every single time.Sometimes way too cold and sometimes way too hot. When the heating indicator light turns off you must be right there to pull the bottle out or it will continue to significantly warm the bottle without any water medium.Be sure to loosen your bottles cap during heating and check to see that the travel disc is not in place.Otherwise, the bottles (esp. Brown's) will overflow.If that happens cleaning the inside of the warmer is a major hassle because the milk will have burned onto the heating plate. The carrier is too short for Mr. Brown 8oz. bottles or any other of similar height. The tubes provided to premeasure water are a joke. The caps are so hard to close and open you need two really strong hands and maybe multiple tools to shut or flip the tops open.Of course, you will likely be holding your crying and squirming baby in one arm while trying to do open the cap and not spill all the water. They tried to get fancy with the shape of the tubes and cap they forgot to make them easy to use.I just can't believe that someone can't design a better "mouse trap".
MUST HAVE!!!
This is one of my favorite products I have purchased as a new mommy.I love it.It warms the Avent bottles great.It took some trials to determine how much water to add but now I have it down great.You can over heat and then you will burn yourself if your not careful.It is not like the negative reviews if you pay attention and use the right amount of water. It DOES NOT warm the Playtex Ventair bottles.I guess because of the vent but I preferred the Avent bottles anyway.The cooler DOES keep bottles cold for up to 8 hours if you remember to freeze the freezer pack each day.We have a 2 story house and this helped us so much.I have the other First year single warmer also and it is in my kitchen and it is great as well.This is definitly worth the money! ...

Editorial Review

Whether it's a business meeting, a book club get-together, or a bridal shower, this is the ideal way to assure your guests a steaming hot cup of coffee (or cold iced tea). The air pump design means just a few presses on the lid will fill individual cups, down to the last few drops in the bottom. People can easily serve themselves from any side, thanks to the swivel base that makes it a breeze to turn the air pot from side to side. A lock on the lid allows you to safely transport the air pot without spills or leaks. Read more

Features

• Stores and serves hot coffee for up to 24 hours
• Polished stainless-steel exterior; vacuum-glass-lined interior
• Brew-Thru feature allows direct brewing from most commercial coffee makers
• Swivel base allows you to move spout position without lifting the pot
• One-year warranty

Zojirushi 2.5 Airpot
Not made well enough for the price.Even the inner tube which pumps the coffee is made out of plastic and doesn't come clean. Our previous pot was so much better.The lid is also flimsy.

Performs exactly as described.
This item performs exactly as was described in any of the marketing information I read.That, in and of itself, is something to be happy about.Keeps coffee hot up to 36 hours, is easy to disassemble and clean, and the Stainless Steel is well worth the extra $$. The last one I had was aluminum, and it became dulled and dirty looking over time.This one looks new all the time.

Excellent Product
I was a little hesitant to believe that this air pot could keep liquids hot for a long period of time.I did a test at home before taking the pot to the office.I used water that ws just barely boiling. 17 hours later, the water was still steaming!!!I was/am very impressed.This is a great must have for a small office.I am very glad I decided to make this purchase.

This is a great travel tea maker or even at home tea maker!!
This is a great little team maker.The infuser basket sits down in the pot and does not have to be removed after steeping, which is a great way to have a non messy cup of tea.Once you pour your first cup, the tea goes down below the infuser level so the steeping stops at that time.I think this is a genius idea.I would love to have them to give to all of my friends.There is definately another one in my future.

Excellent tea pot
I have come to like this tea pot so much that I am giving it for Christmas to all of the tea drinkers on my list.It is beautiful, practical, and always keeps my tea hot without becoming bitter.Its brew capacity is perfect for two large cups (or four small glasses).Alternatively, I have made tea for eight by making a concentrate in the Timolino and then diluting the concentrate to the desired strength with just boiled water in the tea cup.I am confident that you, too, will find this pot to be so dependable that it will always be on your countertop- never in the cabinet.

Fabulous Product: A Must Have for Tea Enthusiasts
I'm so glad to have found this personal kettle that I'll probably purchase another for the office or keep in my car, or maybe even give some away as gifts.There is nothing like it on the market from Bodum or any of the other name manufacturers.It's totally easy to make great tea through the infuser component (no more filters and strange, messy contraptions).The infuser is large enough so that the tea has room to expand.

not for Avent bottles
While the concept overall seems like a good idea, it is not for everyone.If your life is hectic and/or disorganized (like me!), this is not for you, because you need to make sure to boil water and then place the warmer in for 15 minutes (which means remembering to start the whole process 20-30 minutes before you leave the house).
Love It!
I got this warmer and LOVE IT!It is great because it never fails that my son's feeding schedule dictated that he eat at the doctor's office or at church (before he was old enough to go to the nursery).I would take a bottle out of the fridge and put it in and start the heating process as soon as we arrived (since I knew my son would want to eat within 20-40 minutes).It's great because then if he only eats about half, the warmer keeps it warm for hours and he can finish what's left maybe a half-an-hour later (I don't like to let it sit warm for more than an hour after he starts eating...).This is good also if my son is not ready to eat when expected.
Great little product!
This warmer is great! We've been using it for several months now. While it is a little of a hassle to boil it to "reset", it beats having to hunt down a plug or sit in the car waiting for a traditional warmer to heat the bottle. If we know the approximate time of feeding, give or take 30 minutes, we start warming the bottle ahead of time. It stays warm for hours. Just wish it came in a 2-pack for longer trips. ... Read more

Performs, but be aware of clean-up effort
As the other reviews testify, the Cocoa Latte does indeed do what it is sold to do, and it does it very well.And an added bonus is the included recipes for novel and very tasty non-cocoa drinks.However, for those of us who have long been used to putting appliance parts into the dishwasher for easy, sanitary, and thorough cleaning, the hand process of cleaning this device is off-putting.Since the electrical heating unit and container are one inseparable unit, the container is not dishwasher safe, nor can it be immersed for hand washing.And it needs to be cleaned very soon after use to keep cocoa and milk or other products from hardening and really being difficult to clean.Secondly, while the spigot does not always need to be disassembled for cleaning, it should be taken apart periodically as just rinsing soapy and then clear water through it does not do as thorough a job; you notice why when you ultimately do take it apart.As to leaks, so far I've experienced none.
grandson's delight
bought it for my grandson to have hot cocoa on a cold chicago christmas morning and he loved it, now wants it every day!

This product does not leak
I love this product!I have had mine for almost a year and use it everyday.I also bought one for my mother and one for my sister.They love them.

Anyone who makes coffee in a French press knows that coffee cools down fairly quickly in thin glass carafes. BonJour has some experience with this and has come up with a solution--the Cafe Zip French press jacket. It works like a tea cozy, but is more modern in style and function. The fabric it's made from is also used in the suits of deep-sea divers, so keeping coffee warm is no problem. The thin Cafe Zip jacket zips up snugly around the carafe to keep French press coffee hot for up to 30 minutes--more than enough time to finish with that first cup. The Cafe Zip is designed to fit BonJour's 8-cup Monet or Bastille French presses. The stylish Cafe Zip coupled with an 8-cup coffee maker makes a lovely gift combo for your favorite coffee drinker.

Designed for the purpose of blending fast, nutritious smoothies, the Smoothie Elite does the job better than an ordinary blender and is easy to operate. The 56-ounce jar has measuring marks for adding just enough fruit, yogurt, and protein powder (or whatever you prefer in your smoothie) for either two or four servings. Running at 500 watts, the pulse-power motor blends at three different speeds--mix, smooth, and pulse--letting you control the consistency of your drink. The jar's shape pulls ingredients down to the center blade, ensuring that even larger foods mix evenly. Additionally, a unique stir stick in the center of the Smoothie Elite's jar breaks up air pockets during blending for more efficient mixing. This smoothie maker even has a special heavy-duty ice-crushing blade, so frozen drinks are blended into a consistent texture. A dispenser valve on the front of the unit eliminates spills so you can continuously mix and serve without a mess. This machine is an inexpensive alternative to ordering daily smoothies at a juice bar. It measures 8 by 9 by 17-1/4 inches and is covered by a one-year limited warranty. Instructions and a recipe book are included. Read more

Good Smoothie Machine. But Kind Of Too Big For A Small Kitchen!
I got this Blue colored Back To Basics Smoothie Elite Blender a couple of years ago for my birthday and I know from reading the reviews for different models of this smoothie blender that some Amazon customers said they had problems with leaks and gears and blades breaking off and I'm sorry to hear that they had problems with it but as for myself I have had no problems with leaks and nothing has broken and I have enjoyed making smoothies and the only problem I have found is that this blender is very large and bulky and we have a tiny kitchen and this takes up so much room when it's up on the counter and it also takes up a lot of room when it's in the cabinet but anyway it's a good blender and I recommend it to anyone who likes smoothies and has a huge kitchen with lots of areas for storage! ...

Poor design-can't find replacement parts
Like a previous reviewer, the drive coupler that connects the motor to the blades went out of our machine after 5 pitchers of smoothies. This is a very poor designed product. I have been all over the internet and can't find a replacement part. If they are going to make an inferior part, they should at least make replacements available. I do not recommmend this appliance for anyone who is serious about their smoothies!!!

Not nearly as good as it seems
I got this product as a gift. Besides the aforementioned problem with totally dismantling it to clean it, in itself an arduous task, there is a major design flaw with this product that should be brought to your attention.
VeryPleased!
I am very pleased with my Sunbeam Smoothie Maker.I got it just in time for my grandchildren's summer visit.Ice Cream smoothies were the first request for desert almost every night.I,also enjoy frut smoothies.I would recommend it to anyone.It works much better than a blender. ... Read more

Sunbeam hot shot - needs updating
This product is an old warhorse.Does what it says but....If you use a larger mug - it won't fit under the unit.I'd rather see a 20 oz capacity, a larger cavity to hold a beer mug or coffee container size mug.Also, unclear if safe to leave plugged in.Should show different colored lights and have an off switch.Even better would be a selectable low temperature mode since green teas should be brewed at a lower temperature... ...
