Great Water Warmer
I've had the past 4 days to use this product to provide a honest review. As with the other posts the name of the product is a bit miss leading. It is not a Baby Formula Dispenser, it is a water warmer for bottles. This will heat all the water you will need for the day, however you will still need to mix the formula. In the morning you fill the reservoir with filtered water water, it will heat the water evenly and quickly then you are done for the day. Especially in the morning when the baby is READY the moment he wakes up to eat, saving 7 min is a game changer.I'll break down what I loved, and what I didn't:Pro's:* Once initially heated, evenly heats water for the day. Keeps the water ready for your bottle with in seconds. The baby seems to enjoy his bottles more with the consistent temperature of every bottle.* Easy to clean and wipe out with a large opening* Sleek design, I do not mind it on my counter. It doesn't take up a lot of space.* Quiet dispensing (Important at 5am when the rest of the family is sleeping* Comes with convenient formal containers. Making it easy to track how many bottles for the day. Easy to take if I'm traveling.* LED Light that shines down on the counter making it easy to know where to place the bottle.*Turns off automatically (but keeps the heating element on for the water)*Each bottle is the exact same temp every time. You don't have to worry about over heating your bottle.Cons:*The LED light that tells you the temperature of the bottle is hard to read.*Instructions direct you to a website for a how to video, the link is incorrect.*Dispenses only 2oz at a time. For my 8 oz bottles I have to hit it 4 times. Not a deal breaker but would be nice to choose the output.*Heating the the morning is a bit confusing. Took some time to get to initial temperature. I'm sure there is a easy way to quickly get to temp I'm just not sure how.Overall this product is actually great. It's cost effective and saves you time. I wish I had purchased this sooner. Even with the con's its still a product worth having.

Not a formula dispenser, just a water warmer
This isn't a formula dispenser, it's just a water warmer. Warm water comes out and you mix the formula powder in the bottle just as you would do without it. I was curious as it does identify the main problems with actual formula mixers: they get clogged without constant cleaning and can end up dispensing watered down formula that gets fed to babies. This device doesn't have that problem, it doesn't mix formula... Which means it's not a formula dispenser. The documentation is funny though. It pretends to be a family business but it doesn't quite pull it off as the manual has quite a few grammatical errors. It's going back, this area: a reliable automated formula mixer continues to be an opportunity for someone to solve right.

Saves so much time
I love the bottle/water warmer! My favorite part about it is it keeps a tank of water at the perfect temperature so there’s no waiting. They have an option to press and hold the water button or just tap for 2 oz at a time. Ours is dispensing about 11/2oz, but I don’t mind that. The tank typically runs out at the same time everyday so we planned it during a time where the water can have time to warm up again and be ready for the next bottle. I will say we don’t use the formula dispensers just cause they are bulky in my bag and there’s too much switching lids after using that top one (too much going on for that), but maybe in the future I might use them. All in all, I love the warmer it’s made prepping bottles and sometimes food so much easier. I may keep it around for tea when we’re all done with bottles! 😂

It's a lifesaver during the night
This is amazing formula machine. Basically the water warmer along with the formula casing. This is super helpful during the night where it has warm water aready to mix the formula for the little one, there's no waiting for the water to boil and cool it down. Since it keep the water at a set temperature of your choice, it basically boil it and maintain the temperature, which you will hear a small noise when it needs to bring the temperature up a little as part of the function to maintain temperature, but that noise is not loud. Would love the cooling vent to be slight smaller so the temperature won't be dropping as much, thus reducing the number of times it needs to reheat up. Also will be helpful if they can consolidate the "keep warm" function and "Boil" into keep warm, and add a "re-boil" button as additional

Must Have for Formula Feeding!
We’ve had the Ella Bella dispenser for a couple weeks now and absolutely love it! We fill it in the morning before baby wakes up and we have warm water ready almost right away. I keep this in my bedroom on my nightstand for middle of the night feeds as well. The included formula cups are extremely handy as I can have the right amount of formula readily available and portioned out.Pros:-Convenient warm water ready on demand-Boils/warms water quickly-Easy to clean-Can set temperature to baby’s preference-Could use for tea as wellCons:-Slightly misleading name as this does not dispense/mix formula into the water for you. However, I have found in using those kinds of machines in the past that they can quickly get clogged up. I prefer this method as it’s just as easy and I don’t have to worry about a messy/malfunctioning machine.

Life saver
Usually I don't write reviews on Amazon but this thing really save my life! Without this I was boiling water and waiting for few minutes to cool down since baby was crying and waiting for food! This machine make my life so easy! Everyone should have it since they have it newborn and they're making formula bottles. I did not like one thing but it's kinda doesn't matter, in the boom they put link to website when I go to the website it was some different brand website... mirrors LOL. But I'm so happy with this machine. Going to pregnancy fb groups to tell mamas about it !
