This product works well and seems to be very durable. Our baby had some fettuccine alfredo last night and she loved it. We like our old grinder better. It was easier to use. But I can’t find one like it.

I feel this grinder in not all that I thought it would be. Hard to operate and hard to clean.

When my first child was little, I had a manual baby food grinder that worked wonderfully but it has been many, many years since I had it and I don’t remember the brand it was. I assumed that this grinder would work just as well. It hasn’t. First, I can’t get the metal grinding plate off all. Since I can’t get it off, I use a bottle brush and a toothpick to clean what I can’t reach. It grinds very soft foods well like previously frozen fruits and veges and bananas but when trying to grind things like steamed zucchini, it is very difficult to push down and grind at the same time. I did remember that the manual grinders did leak a bit from the bottom but I just placed it in a flat bottomed Tupperware container to catch the juice. I really wanted to use a manual grinder but after 2 months of using this one, I think i am going to take another reviewer’s recommendation and purchase a hand blender and use for the next few months.

Purchased as suggested by our pediatrician and it’s ok, but it’s hard to clean and not easy to get the food through it..even steamed, soft food. It does make the food nice and mushy w/o skin or fibers..

Ok, so first of all, this grinder is so poorly designed! You cannot put in or take out the grinding part, like it says. It’s hard to turn the handle while pushing down. You can only grind up enough for two feedings for a younger baby and maybe one for the older baby (under one). Oh, and did you notice a fresh apple and vegetables in the picture?? Well, it doesn’t grind hard fresh fruits and vegetables!!! The blade isn’t sharp enough. The only thing it grinds well out of uncooked fruits and vegetables are bananas. If you read the instructions it keeps emphasizing the fact that the best foods to use for this are cooked foods and canned fruit. They give you a few recipes and every one of them that has apples as an ingridient emphasizes that you use apple sauce! So what’s the point of this again? You can buy a small electric food grinder by Black and Decker at Walmart for $[...] bucks.
