The report card
- Safe prep (70C)35% of score3.0
Like the Advanced, Baby Brezza states it doesn't make up formula with water at 70C.
- Speed & ease at 3am20% of score8.5
Push-button bottles at body temperature from a smaller machine.
- Feed accuracy15% of score8.5
Automatic powder and water dosing from 60 to 300ml.
- Cleaning & upkeep15% of score5.5
Dishwasher-safe tank, but the same funnel-based mixing as its bigger sibling, so expect similar regular cleaning.
- Value & running costs15% of score5.2
Around £200 is steep for a machine that sits outside UK guidance.
The full review
The Formula Pro Mini uses the same mixing technology as the Advanced in a body Baby Brezza says is 30% smaller, which makes it more realistic for a small kitchen or a stay at the grandparents'. It dispenses 60 to 300ml of formula and has a removable, dishwasher-safe water tank.
Baby Brezza lists body-temperature dispensing for the Mini, rather than the three temperature settings on the Advanced. The rest of the experience, including the powder funnel you'll be cleaning regularly, is broadly the same.
And so is the central issue. Baby Brezza's UK page states that the Mini does not sterilise formula with water at 70C, which puts it outside NHS guidance for making up powdered formula. At around £200 it's cheaper than the Advanced, but still a lot of money for that compromise.
