This is an absolute god send, especially for a newborn who is not yet in a routine and is feeding on demand. Machine makes a bottle in seconds, which is at the correct temperature and ready to consume immediately. They are a little expensive but there are often good offers on them.
Wow, I am so impressed with this product. Although it costs quite a bit, it's worth every penny and it is just a one off cost. It saves time and milk does not need to be wasted as it's made to the perfect temperature. I highly recommend this if you bottle feed your baby.
Absolutely love this machine, used it with my first and still using the same machine with my second, as long as you make sure you have a spare filter for when it needs changing there is minimal maintenance, very quick perfect temperature bottles.
Super quick way to make up formula and easy to use.

I could not live without the perfect prep. I can’t imagine having to make every red up from scratch using the boiling and cooling method especially in the middle of the night. This is so much quicker and takes the stress right out of feeding especially when feeding on demand. It’s so easy to use, literally two button presses and you are done. Only negative is that it is quite noisy, would be great if there was an option to turn off the beep.
These machines are a life saver when a baby is screaming for a bottle. My sons schedule was all over the place to begin with. So it was very useful. The only downside is the smallest amount it dispenses is 4oz so is useless for newborns.
Need to fill with pre boiled cool water otherwise baby was sick.

This is the top of my must have list for parents who are bottle feeding.
It makes the perfect temperature bottles within minutes and has been a life saver during the night feeds and means that when making a bottle it is hassle free.
It’s very easy to use and easy to demonstrate when showing baby sitters or family who are helped I get out.
Highly recommend!
When we moved on to formula feeding, I was often being told about the Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Perfect Prep Machine and so we bought one. I wish we had one from the get go. It makes night feeding so much easier, as well as during the day feeding. The minimum of 4oz has never been a problem for us as that's the minimum my baby would take. It's easy to do a clean cycle and a reminder to change the filters is fab!!!!
I would 100% recommend this to any parent who is planning to formula feed!
Very quick, easy to use & make perfect bottles every time.
Weaknesses:
You have to buy the specific filter. Product is expensive.

I have been using this product for the last six weeks, since bringing my baby girl home. It has been eight years since we have had to make up formula and everything had changed. So we were nervous making up bottles for the first time but we shouldn’t of been. This machine is amazing. It is very easy to use. You just pop a sterilised bottle underneath. Set the dial to the amount of onzes you want. Then press the button. It first does a hot shot of water, you then add the powder. Then press the button again and is dispenses the rest of the water. So you have a perfect bottle every time! It has lights and display on the front of the machine so you can see instantly when the water is low, needs cleaning or filter needs changing.
It makes up bottles quickly and to the perfect temperature. I could not carry on breastfeeding so this machine made it stress free from that transition from one to another. I make sure that daily I top the water up which is easy to do. There is a large lid on the top left of the machine. If I could only buy one product, this would be the one I would buy. I wish this product existed when I had my boys. Takes the hassle out of making up water and adding powder later. Amazing product.
Easy straight forward instructions for making the perfect bottlw

Makes the formula look like there’s more in the bottle.

We have had one for each of our babies and love this product. It makes the night feeds so much easier. When Baby is hungry ‘now’ this product makes the wait time short and easy to deal with. Would be lost without it!
Pros:
This product has been a life saver in the world of parenthood. It works exactly as it states and makes nightfeeds a doddle.
The cons:
The only con I’ve found is that during the really hot months, the temperature warning light comes on and you’re unable to use it until it’s cooled down.
In my opinion the pros far outweigh this one con!
This machine is amazing! A lot of friends recommended this machine to me. When our daughter was born, she had problems latching so we decided to supplement with formula. We decided to buy this machine as we had hear such good things about it. It definitely lives up to the rave. We use it every night now, you simply fill it with water the night before, so the water goes through the filter, then when your baby is hungry, you press the button once, it fills your bottle with some hot water, you then add your formula, and press the button again, it adds cold water so the bottle is at the perfect temperature to feed your baby. It sounds so daft and simple when you try describing it but it makes so much sense and makes life easier when you use it. It means your feed prep for formula takes 2 minutes rather than taking forever to heat a bottle and then cool down. We keep ours by our bedside so night feeds are very easy! Can't recommend highly enough!
I used the perfect prep machine with my first child and have purchased another ready for the birth of our second.
I couldn't be without it. The speed at which a bottle is ready at the prefect temperature to pop into babies mouth was invaluable.
It does have a loud beep once ready which in the night can be annoying, but you soon get used to it and even when baby my daughter learnt what that beep meant.
Product is easy to use and easy to clean.
I would wholeheartedly recommend to all!
Absolutely amazing ! We didn’t have one to begin with and then after deciding we didn’t want to be making the bottles and taking ages and checking the temperature, we got one. Of course we still checked the temperature but every time it was perfect for our little one ! So easy to use and to clean!
So easy to use. And does make the perfect bottle. Because of the recent mound scandal I Milton cleaned and descaled every 2 weeks which took a good half an hour but I suppose the time and screaming you save on having a bottle right there and now counter balances it.
Easy to use when really sleepy in the middle of the night. Really good design which is easy to clean
Weaknesses:
The machine can be quite noisy in the middle of the night for a light sleeper.

Brought the Tommee Tippee Prep Machine recently after breastfeeding my newborn exclusively for 7 weeks. Decided that dealing with a newborn and a two year old I need something quick and convenient to help me deal with the daily challenges! The Prep Machine has been fantastic. Really easy to set up and use. Could make a bottle even with my eyes shut (not recommended). Love the fact that you don’t have to wait for kettle to boil and then the (what feels like hours) watching it cool! Has fitted right into our feeding routine! Thanks Tommee Tippee!
The prep machine has been so helpful and amazing. A bottle is made within 2 minutes at the perfect temperature which is easier than boiling a kettle which takes twice as long especially for night time feeds.
This is one of the best things we own! It's a life saver when it's the middle of the night and you have a hungry baby! It's quick and simple and takes no time at all to make the bottle up, this should be a must buy for new mums who can't breastfeed as it takes the stress out of making bottles up.
Bulky to transport, won’t function if lights are on

We wouldn’t have been able to live without this when we had to move o to bottle feeding. I would recommend it to everyone - just find it when it’s on sale as it is very overpriced.
Absolute lifesaver it’s so easy to use no more worrying if the bottle is to hot and no more waiting for the kettle to boil it takes about 2-3 to make a bottle brilliant product best thing I brought.
This product really is a life saver. As a first time mum any product that is designed to make your life easier and less stressful deserves a massive credit. Very easy to clean and service. Absolutely no faults to this product.
I love this machine, it's a parent sanity keeper especially for feeds in the middle of the night or when baby is poorly. Getting baby to wait only 2 minutes is so much easier and quieter than getting them to wait 10 mins or more for a boiled kettle to cool down.
Easy to clean, easy to change the filter. Only downside potentially is in the summer, my machine is by the kitchen window and when the sun is beaming through the machine naturally warmed up thus warming the water in the tank - this stopped the machine working, there is a warning light but I had to Google what it was and there was nothing in the manual. Once I knew what it was though it was so easily rectified.
