Dr Browns Formula Pitcher Anti Colic Reviews Summary

Convenience

Pros:

• "I can just stop what I’m doing or wake up and just pour it in my child bottle and then heat it up and then boom done!"
• "We make all the bottles for one day and this works great for it."
• "Put the lid on, push the handle up and down for about a minute and you are done, perfectly mixed with no more clumps in a fraction of the time to do it manually."
• "This is so much easier than measuring out for 3.5oz since my babe isn’t always wanting to drink an even 4oz."
• "So far so good and definitely worth buying when your lil guy starts drinking more at a time."
• "It's convenient and easy."
• "This really took out my worry when going back to work."

Cons:

• "The handle comes apart while mixing often and as a parent working on no sleep…it will bring about some cursing as u try to make a pitcher in the middle of the night."
• "Both of them broke I got the blue and the green both broke from the top handle and without it it is useless."
• "It’s hard to read the lines on the outside to know how much liquid is in the container so that’s a major flaw."
• "I wouldn't recommend it because it overflows and makes a mess."
• "Sometimes the fan/mixer pops off if I’m mixing too hard."
• "A little messy the seal on the top isn't great but so very worth it!!!"
• "I also wish it had 'How many scoops' with each Oz marking I've never seen formula that doesn't do one scoop to two Oz's."

Durability

Pros:

• "Fortunately the company sent me a replacement part within two weeks."
• "Big enough to cover an entire day of feedings, easy to disassemble which makes washing and sterilizing easier too."
• "With just a few plunges (maybe 10?), it mixes powdered formula into water with ease and no clumps."
• "It creates very few bubbles and it is nice to be able to make one pitcher for the whole day and be done."
• "It holds enough for a whole day for my 4 month old, and maybe one night bottle."
• "The mixing tool mixes with minimal bubbles."
• "It rinses out easily, and is dishwasher safe."

Cons:

• "I got my pitcher Dec 27th and the mixer just snapped in half today, Jan 18th, while I was mixing formula."
• "The jug was showing scratches that matched the spinning motion, so I ordered a new one. This one seems to be wearing off faster..."
• "The mixing stem is cracking and nearly entirely broken from normal, standard use."
• "The two I have had only lasted 2 to 3 months."
• "After six months of use mine broke at the junction between the handle and the stick that the handle attaches to."
• "The top handle that you use to mix the formula comes apart easily which is annoying."
• "I've found that anything over 30 oz and the formula wants to leak out around the lid when you are mixing it."

Design

Pros:

• "This mixer is the best thing ever."
• "I can't express how great this product is."
• "This is an absolute LIFESAVER! The price is awesome too."
• "This made Mixing formula a breeze."
• "This pitcher is so easy to use and clean."
• "I love this product. I have always been a fan of Dr Brown products since my first child and they sure haven't disappointed yet."
• "This pitcher is fantastic!"

Cons:

• "But, you get about 7 oz of liquid once it's all mixed in. So, to me, this is a 7 oz bottle because my kid is taking in 7 oz of liquid."
• "It will leak if you overfill it."
• "I find the design perplexing, it has so many parts that could really just be one solid piece that would simplify cleaning and reduce the risk of breakage."
• "Sure it will leak if you fill it too high with milk no matter how slow you churn it."
• "The pitcher isn't the a great quality product as I hoped it would be but it gets the job done."
• "Really need to mix formula for 30-45 seconds to ensure all the clumps are out."
• "An amazing feature is that the top spins so you can close the opening to prevent bacteria getting in or milk spilling out."
