Just About Perfect!
I actually love this wiper warmer. My little guy was born in January of 2012 and I wanted something to keep the diapers warm that was low maintenance. First a brief warmer history -- For my first I use to just run the wipe in warm water - this got tidius and old very quickly. For my second I bought a warmer and hated it! I had to fill it so much that the wipes were dripping and if not then it would dry them out!
PROS AND CONS
PROS
*Heats from the top (this is also a con...see below) so you get a warm wipe quickly and always warm
*Low Maintenance
*Easy to unplug when leaving for long trips
*Like Clear View section to see how many wipes are left
*Lid Secures nicely
*Rubber around where the wipes dispense, makes it easy to start a refill without hurting your fingers and holds the next one in place really well, grips the wipe so that you can get them out.
CONS
I will give you a few tricks at the end to help with some of the CONS -
*Heats from the top -- Dries out the top wipe after long period of no use (Usually over 24 hours)
* Does not hold an entire refill pack of wipes
With this warmer I actually love it as long as you do a few tricks - DO NOT FILL IT SO FULL so that the lid smashes down the wipes - this means that you probably will not fit the entire refill pack in your warmer. I do one of two things with the extra wipes -
1 - add them to my diaper bag wipes or
2 - put them in a ziploc baggie to save for later use.
UNPLUG IT - if you are going to be gone for a while you should unplug it so that it does not dry out your wipes while you are gone.
WIPE IT DOWN - when your wipes run out - just do a quick wipe down with a paper towel of the inside - I usually only do this once a month - put I know others who do it every time they run out of wipes so they do not forget.
ADD A SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER - if you add a SMALL amount of water it will go a LONG way. I usually add about 1/4 of cup water. I do not pour it all on the wipes themselves just a little on the top and them the rest on the bottom of the warmer on both sides of the wipes. I usually know I need a little more water when it no longer condensates on the small blue lid of the warmer, so when I lift it up it makes a small little drop of water in the grooves.
I hope this makes sense and that you find it helpful - THANKS!
