How did this product make your life easier?
Weaning has just become so much easier. Before I had this product, I would steam and then blend everything separately, which took a long time, with a lot of washing up! This product takes every bit of stress out of making homemade purée for your baby. I didn't think it would make it easier or quicker but I was very pleasantly surprised.
Would you choose this product to win?
This product should win, hands down. When you're a busy working mum, you need something that isn't going to take up all your time, and this product is just perfect for that. The controls are extremely easy to use (you don't need a degree in engineering to work out how to work it!). I wouldn't use any other product ever again to make food for my baby.
What changes would you make to this product?
The only small feature I would change about this product is to maybe put a water measure on the side, where you put the water in. But this isn't a huge issue as after you use it a few times, you learn where the water should be inside.

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would highly recommend this product as it's great value for money and so easy to use! It looks good too so fits in nicely in my kitchen. It’s lightweight as well, so easy to take with you if you're away for the night. You only need to use water to clean it which is very handy.
How did this product make your life easier?
It's so easy to puree food with this in your life – you just put the food in and leave it, then when you come back, it's steamed and blended. The Steamer Blender is so effective because you can tailor it to your own personal preferences, regarding cooking time and the consistency. It really is a God send!
Would you choose this product to win?
I would choose this product above all others as, until now, I hadn't seen anything like this on the market and it's such a simple, yet effective idea. The fact that you only need one appliance to do the job, rather than numerous pots, pans and blenders, makes life so much easier. It frees you up to spend your time on other things. And let's face it, life with a baby is hectic so anything that frees you up, but gets the job done, definitely gets a thumbs up from me!
What changes would you make to this product?
I honestly wouldn't change anything about this product as it's neat and a good size to keep on your kitchen surface. It's looks good and is easy to use. It's not noisy at all so there's no chance of it disrupting you or your baby. It's easy to clean and doesn't come with lots of little bits and bobs so there's no chance of accidentally losing anything! Great product!

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this to other mums. It's an excellent product and saves you money in the long run, as you can make your own batches of baby food, instead of buying shop bought packs. The design looks great, it's small and compact but has a wicked blend. It is incredibly easy to use, with just five buttons! It's also very easy to clean.
How did this product make your life easier?
This product has helped make my life easier because I can trust it to steam (and blend) the vegetables whilst I prepare the rest of the meal we are having at the time. It even comes with a booklet that has some recipe ideas for starting out. It prepares the food to a very good standard.
Would you choose this product to win?
I've always liked Tommee Tippee products, and my list just keeps getting longer. It's brilliant! I think this product should have a chance at winning. It comes with everything you need for weaning your little one, it’s durable and will last ages! Also, the design looks modern and quirky in any kitchen.
What changes would you make to this product?
One thing I would like to mention is the colour variety, I believe this only comes in on colour, white. All my kitchen appliances are black, including my Tommee Tippee Sterilizer, so it would have been great to have a matching colour steam blender! However, apart from the colour, you really can't fault the product, it's helped me so much when preparing meals.
Tested by mum Natalie Goode for the Mother & Baby awards 2018:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would definitely recommend this to a friend. It really is a great product, simple to use, compact and the instructions are easy to follow. There aren’t lots of little bits that have to be taken apart for cleaning, so that part doesn't take long at all! This is definitely a must-have product for a parent who is starting to wean their little one.
How did this product make your life easier?
The Tommee Tippee steamer is probably something I wouldn't have bought myself, so I was excited to try it! Once I got it up and running, I found it a brilliant bit of kit. It really helped with preparing dinners for my son, who was just getting used to food, so it came at the perfect time. I was using a Nutribullet to whiz up dinners but found that the puree was much too smooth. So, this steamer blender was great for getting the exact consistency for my son’s weaning stage.
Would you choose this product to win?
I can't really compare this to another product on the market as I haven't tested another one but I think this steamer blender could be a winner. The simplicity and easy use won me over – I really liked it!
What changes would you make to this product?
Although I think this product is great, there is one thing I felt could be changed; when the water runs out of the steamer, it rings to alarm you it is empty. This is great but the problem is, if you're half way through steaming something, the timer ends and doesn't restart at the point it empties once refilled. It’s just a bit irritating but doesn’t matter too much!
