Customer Review: Best Baby Food Grinder ever for Natural feeding from your own plate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I used this product with both of my girls and it was a godsend! It is small and portable and can be easily carried along to a restaurant or friend's house or to your own dinner table. One can simply take the food from one's own plate and put teaspoons of the selected fish,rice, veggies, fruit, meat etc into the top of the grinder...what emerges is smooth, tasty REAL food from your own plate; just right for baby's palate.You have the choice to blend fish and veggies or grind separately for baby. The consistency of the food is like mashed potatoes and gives your baby a chance to accustom herself to the taste of REAL whole foods, not pasturized overly seasoned, processed baby foods. Both of my girls adore vegetables as a result of being fed them in their real form (ground smooth) from the Happy Baby Food Grinder. There is NO product that I have found as convenient, or efficient for feeding young babies the food you select to grind for them. I applaud the company that has made these great baby food makers for over 30 years!Customer Review: Negative review rebuttle
Summary: 4 Stars
Unlike many of the negative reviews, I am very happy with this item. We use it about 2-4 times a day and it's very effective and easy to use.
It requires some strength to push down, but it is really minimal and takes less than 2 minutes to use for one type of food (I'm 120lbs and have very little upper body strength) and I have no trouble.
[...]It's SO easy that was the first thing I was going to say... I give it a good hot rinse after I'm done with it, so the food doesn't dry up, but not much else. At night I wash (with a bristle brush) around the rubber ring and the strainer part with soap and hot water. i could put it in the dishwasher, but haven't yet because I don't think it needs it.
The reason I give it 4 stars is only because the handle isn't super sturdy. It's made of plastic, which hasn't caused a problem yet (it's 3 months old) but I can't imagine I'll be using it for my grandchildren 20 years in the future.

Customer Review: Purees Chicken Wonderfully!
Summary: 5 Stars
We got this in the mail yesterday. I had tried the food processors, choppers, blender, etc. to be disappointed when trying to puree meats for my 8 month old. Last night I tried this mill out with some boiled chicken. The mill didn't look like much at first. It pureed the chicken so fine that once I transferred it to my own dish and added some broth and mixed it thoroughly, it was almost as pureed as the Gerber jarred meats. My little one still can't swallow the meats unless they are finely pureed and this little mill did the trick! I am anxious to start fixing him up some beef and turkey with this mill! I will be sure to boil the meats and any other veggies or fruit I process in it because that will make all the difference, of course. I am posting some pics for everyone to see! My hands did get tired after a little while but I was milling enough to have some for the freezer. I got it done and felt accomplished that I was finally able to prepare fresh food suitable for my child!Customer Review: one of my few must-have baby items
Summary: 5 Stars
We love this baby food mill ~ I had to buy a second one, because my first was always out on loan.
My first mill was handed down by my sis-in-law. She used it a little, but not a ton. We used it for pretty much everything my baby ate (he hated commercial baby food!) That was 10 yeas ago. I have lost count of how many babies it has been through - at least 6.
My second mill, I've been stingy with & kept for myself :-) We're on our 3rd baby with THIS mill...
Some have complained that it is difficult to use. Yes, you do have to push down a bit with your opposite hand as you turn the handle, but I certainly don't think it's too hard. Milling at the table rather than the counter may be easier if you're a little on the short side - as I am.
This is a fantastic product and Amazon's price is just right
Customer Review: Great for 9 month olds plus
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this grinder when my baby started on solids at 6 months and was disappointed. It does not make the smooth purees that beginning eaters need.
However, from 9 months old on, when my baby could handle food with texture (not chunky) this grinder has been indispensable. It works especially well if you are feeding your baby table food rather than cooking/freezing etc especially for the baby. I use the grinder at the dining table and just grind whatever we are having for dinner...beans, lentils, tofu, rice, vegetables and squashes, fish, chicken, cous cous, chuncky soups etc. If the food comes out too thick, add yogurt, broth, coconut water or gravy to moisten it. The grinder is great for restaurants too. The only problem is that the plastic part with the holes can be tricky to take out to wash.
