Summary: Sore Hand 2008-07-19
Comment: I think this product gave me carpel tunnel syndrome or something. Man my hand is killing me. I tried it for the first time today, assembly was nothing since it was all put together. I used all frozen foods, boiled the veggies, thawed the fruits. I used yellow squash the first time, no biggie. The texture seems a but chunky though for my baby who has yet to eat his first solid. So I just ran it through the grinder again and added a bit of water.
I then tried some boiled green beans. That was a bit tricker. The little strings from it would stick to the grate and I had to keep pulling them off. My hand was getting tired of pushing down on the holder and turning the knob with the other hand. I had to put the beans through the grinder at least 5 times. Very very time consuming!
The last thing I tried was thawed peaches. Lets just say my hand is so sore I can barely type. Now they were not thawed ALL the way but almost all the way. I cut them up in little bites and grinded away. The juice was leaking from the bottom. Messy. I think I am going to buy an electric one and forget the manual kind. I have an apple on standby to be grind up but forget that. I will just eat that myself.
Only good things that came out of this purchase is the little food pouch thingy that came with it. I stuck a half thawed peach in it and my 4 1/2 month old practically sucked that thing dry.

Summary: Can't remove grate! 2008-07-17
Comment: I only used this grinder twice. The first time, the grate got stuck after grinding the food. Once it gets rotated and locked into place, the grate isn't coming out again. The grinding of the food wedges the grate in place even more.
I thought, ok, no big deal, I will just leave the grate in place and disassemble the handle. I couldn't get the grinder clean! Bits of food were left stuck everywhere.
After going through this twice, I threw it away. I wanted to use something simple and not be a gadget obsessed mom. I'll buy a mini food processor now that I can use for other food prep after the baby is grown.

Summary: Good job for the price 2008-07-08
Comment: I purchased this item and then came home and read the reviews. I almost returned it, and then decided to give it a shot. I'm glad I did. Most of the other reviewers complained that it leaked. It does, but I just sit it in the sink to grind. Then there were complaints of the force you have to use to grind the food. I don't think that's the case at all. I think the key is the grinding motion. You have to push down on the green plastic part while grinding with your other hand. If it becomes hard to push, you simply keep grinding until it becomes easier to push. I believe most people are trying to grind it too fast. Also, I believe some of the complaints are because people aren't using food that has already been cooked. If you want to grind up a food such as squash, it is common sense, I think, that the food be cooked until soft. I just ground up cooked corn that was cut off the cob, and it ground up great.
Also, I think the thing to keep in mind with this product is price. It is only $10!
I feel that for under $10, you are getting a great product that does what it is supposed to do: grind up cooked foods in quantities suitable for feeding to a baby.

Summary: Handle Way Too Small! 2008-06-24
Comment: This is terrible. The handle is so small. My hand was killing me by the time I got a serving size done. Don't waste your money. It fell apart when I was using it several times and made a huge mess on the floor.

Summary: It's fine for what it is 2008-06-02
Comment: We bought this at Whole Foods for $10 2 years ago. We used it for my daughter for months, and now we're using it for my son. We put the small pieces in the same basket we use for bottles, etc, in the dishwasher, and they always come out fine.
I agree the food is not smooth, but this is essentially a "ricer", not a food processor. We've made all kinds of stuff in here, and use it every day. Prunes especially come out with a texture the babies like, but we've done peaches, apples, pears, carrots, sweet potato, green beans, peas, you name it for first foods.
I've never had anything leak through the bottom.
I would buy this again. I am not sure how, if at all, this is any different than the kidco one.
