Munchkin Warm Glow Baby Wipe Warmer, White

This wipe warmer is absolutely awesome. I kind of wish we'd bought one for our two previous children. We've always steered away from wipe warmers in the past, because we heard they dried out wipes and made them brown, rough, and sand-papery (and a relative had a wipe warmer that did just that). Cold wipes are better on a baby's bottom than something rough and dried out! And the other reason we never bought one is that we thought they were a frivolous extravagance.Fast forward to our third baby, who is three weeks now. He has a MAJOR dislike of being cold. He would literally shriek every time a normal, cold wipe touched his bottom. Our other two kids really didn't care, but he just howls and sobs. So we've gone from viewing these as an extravagance to a necessity, at least for certain kids, and we went shopping for one.Ultimately, we picked this model, and we love it. Here is what is great about it:1. Wipes are VERY nice and warms. Some people say they are lukewarm or "not much warmer than air temperature", but they either aren't keeping the top flap closed or they have a defective unit. Mine is clearly not not defective and keeps wipes at a perfect feeling warm temperature.2. Even the last wipes at the bottom of the container are nice and warm. Some reviewers have said only the top wipes of a full container are warm (this unit warms from the top), but I just can't understand how that could be, except for the reasons mentioned in point 1. Mine are very nice and warm all the way down.3. These stay very nice and moist. Since my son is a newborn, I only use one, or at most two, wipes per changing, meaning I go through them slowly. Yet they still don't dry out, and they are just as moist as they are when I buy them, only warmer.4. I've seen people write reviews of other brands of warmers who say they have to do things like put a wet sponge at the bottom of the warmer to keep things moist, periodically do complicated cleanings to remove bacteria/mold, etc. None of that will be an issue with this brand. They stay warm without any sponges or other "fixes" at the bottom, and they are solid, non-porous, smooth molded plastic inside with no seams, cracks or crevices. So if you did need to clean one out (which I haven't had to do at this point), a quick swipe with an anti-bacterial wipe should be all that is required to fully sanitize it.5. Since this unit warms from the top, you can keep a diaper or a tube of Desitin sitting on top of it, and that will be warm for baby too. If find my son doesn't care too much if his diapers have been pre-warmed, but I did try it and can say it works for that if you child needs a warmer diaper (maybe in the winter it will matter more).Cons - This are minor1. The night light, as others have said, is worthless. You can't see anything by the light it gives off... certainly you can't see if a baby's bottom is clean after they have a dirty diaper. And you don't need the nightlight to find this unit either, since the button on the front glows very softly. So I really see no purpose for having this... they should either improve the quality of light it gives off or remove it and lower the price a few pennies. But, this doesn't impact my five start rating since I bought this to warm wipes, not light the room (and it is exceptional at warming wipes).2. It would be nice if it were slightly deeper to accommodate a standard, full stack of wipes. If you've ever seen the standard plastic wipes dispenser that comes with a box of, say, Huggies wipes, you know what I'm talking about. This warmer is sized similarly to those boxes, but has a somewhat smaller capacity due to the extra insulation in the base and the warmer in the top, which limits the space left for wipes. Maybe it had to be that way to keep the product from being too clunky, or maybe the warmer wouldn't be able to warm the bottom of the stack if the space was larger, but I just thought I'd mention it. It's not enough of an issue to remove a star.All in all, this is an excellent product. It does exactly what it promises, and is essential for cold-intolerant babies!

I love this! I don't have a baby - I use it for myself. I have severe RA and some days I just can't get out of bed from the pain. This sits next to my bed and has Amazon Baby Wipes Sensitive in them Amazon Elements Baby Wipes, Unscented, Tub & Refills, 720 Count (it won't let me link SENSITIVE) I get to cleanse my face with a warm wipe every morning and evening. I also use this for a quick wipe down on those days I can't shower...nice warm wipes are always nicer against the skin vs shocking cold ones (in the summer I may change my mind on that). I would recommend this for anyone who has an illness, elderly or just wants warm wipes to cleanse with.There is a long plug, and about a foot from the warmer, it has an unplugging port so you don't have to unplug from the wall. For those that are having trouble with the large top opening along with the smaller top: there are two latches, one on each side, when you close the large top you move the latches and it locks the top on. Then you just open the smaller green top to get your warm wipe out. I did add 1/2 cup water over the wipes, like the directions said, no dry wipes so far.When it's really cold, the wipes do chill fast. Grab your warm wipe and hold most of it in your clenched fist so it stays warmer longer. Once you take out the wipe, quickly wipe your skin with it. I don't see this as a big problem when the weather warms more. This isn't a fault of the warmer, it's just science and cold air.***This has been running for 2 days and nights now and there is actual warm condensation under the green lid. The wipes are toasty warm when they come out and moist. The nightlight puts out a nice glow, not too bright but enough to see things around the area. I just hope this has lasting quality to it. Oh, since it's right next to my bed and the top gets nice and warm - I put my hot coffee or tea on the lid to help it stay warm as I drink. I do notice the right side stays warm and the left side is cool. Don't know if this is how it's supposed to work but the wipes are warm when I pull one out. 5.5 stars****I've used this for a full week, day and night. I LOVE IT! I'm also pulling out a warm wipe to clean my hands before meals, taking off face masks, wiping the computer screen, wiped my kitten down (ha ha) and wiped my table down. It's so handy to have warm, moist wipes at your fingertips. Even if the wipes get low, as long as you have the top wipe coming through the slots into the top part, it will keep it warm. When I add a bit of water to the warmer, I pour it under the little green lid and that makes sure that top wipe and the others under it get the first water. My wipe warmer still has constant condensation under the green lid and the wipes are always warm and moist. LOVE THIS!

When we got home from the hospital with our baby having the wipes warmed was a non-negotiable. As new parents we couldn’t stand hearing our baby scream and cry because of a cold wet wipe! Now that he’s a few months old we really don’t need it but since we have it we use it.Pros:Keeps wipes warmHappier babyCleaner tush since you don’t have to rush the cold wipe offHolds a pack of wipes easilyKeeps all of the wipes warm not just someThey stay moist!Cons:If you aren’t using it regularly the wipes will dry out and the top ones will have a brownish tint to them due to them being heated and not as moist.Really don’t need it once they are olderEvery time I purchase something online, I always check the reviews.
