This sits at a different point in the market to the BEABA Babycook already listed: it's a chopper-blender only, with no steaming function, so it's built for people who cook or steam vegetables and meat separately (hob, microwave, or leftovers from the family meal) and just need a fast way to turn them into a purée or a chunkier textured meal. The 200W motor and three stainless steel blades handle soft cooked food well, and a one-touch button lets you pulse for texture control as weaning progresses from smooth to lumpier.

Against the Babycook, the trade-off is capability for simplicity and price: no steaming means one less appliance function, but also a smaller, lighter unit that's easier to store and quicker to clean, since the glass bowl, blades and silicone base are all dishwasher-safe. It's explicitly not built for hard ingredients like ice or raw vegetables, and Tommee Tippee caps continuous use at 30 seconds, so it's really a "cook it another way, then blend it here" tool rather than an all-in-one steamer-blender.

For parents who already steam or microwave vegetables and just want a fast, low-cost blending step, this is a sensible, cheaper alternative to a full steam-and-blend machine. Anyone wanting steaming built in should look at the Babycook or a similar combined unit instead.

What we liked

  • Fast, one-touch blending with adjustable texture
  • Small footprint, easy to store and wash
  • Cheaper than combined steam-and-blend machines

Where it falls short

  • No steaming function — needs food cooked separately first
  • Not for hard ingredients (ice, raw veg, coffee beans)

How we scored it

Prep Speed

How quickly it steams, blends or portions a batch of food.

8/10

Ease of Cleaning

Number of parts and dishwasher-safety after a messy prep session.

8/10

Bowl, blades and silicone base are all dishwasher-safe, and the compact size means it doesn't hog draining-board space the way a full steamer-blender does.

Value for Money

Cost relative to how much use you get across the weaning months.

7/10

Cheaper than a combined steam-and-blend machine, but you're paying for a chopper only — anyone without a separate steaming step will find this less complete than the Babycook.
