" ... Might as well get hot water out of the sink. ... "
" ... I'd have been better off warming in a bottle of hot water. ... "
" ... The instructions requires that we throw out the water after every use! ... "
" ... Also, the water system (open system) is not really my favorite because while holding your baby anything can happen and you could spill it out easily. ... "
" ... It boils water over onto itself and the outside of the unit is not supposed to get wet. ... I've tried less water, obviously, and it still spits water out. ... "
" ... However, by light of day, I realized that I already owned a device that would create hot water on demand, that doesn't take up counter space, requires no cleaning, and works ~3x faster than this gadget: a faucet. ... "
" ... However, there’s no timer so the water will continue to warm until you turn the warmer off. ... "
" ... While this might work, it is slower than simply warming a biottle in hot tap water. ... "
