Ultimate Wipes Warmer

This product is wonderful for warming baby wipes and/or wipes for adults. Leaves your bottom clean and fresh! Do not flush them, as a plumber friend informed us. They may say flushable and all seems well for a bit, but inevitably you will need the expertise of a plumber, which along with the plumber comes a costly repair.

I brought this for my newborn and as it is getting colder at north. This is very useful as babies hate wet and cold wipes. It’s been more than a month I have been using and I find it super helpful. Once you wet the base pad and add wipes to the warmer, turn it on, the warmer keeps it warm as long as it’s powered on. Just need to make sure the warmer and wipes are close enough to changing table so that when you take out wipe the stay warm for few seconds. For me the downfall is not the warmer itself but coldness in the air, from taking out the wipe to using it the warmness fades. So I make sure to keep close enough near to changing table. The wipes stays warm for baby use and moist all the time. You can carry with you for travel and can be convenient. Also the light does not matter to me but you know that your warmer is turned on or not. Handling is easy to open either button and close the top. Tip: start warming before 2 hours or so to keep the wipes warm. If there are less wipes then it can be more quick like an hour. Make sure to wet the base pad if you see it’s drying out. Overall helpful for warming cold wipes.

I purchased two of these wipe warmers when my first grandchild was born four years ago - one for his home and one for mine since he stayed with me 3 days a week. They are both still going strong and we are now on grandbaby number two. The warmer does get hot on the bottom so I put a thin rubber hot pad under it on the bedside table to prevent it from burning the tabletop. The wipes stay warm throughout, from the bottom one to the top. Addressing some of the comments about the latch, I do have to make sure the wipe that's engaged in the slot (to come out next) is positioned so as not to be anywhere near the latch. (I pull it a little to the side.) Otherwise, the latch will not close. As far as keeping the wipes and pillow moist, not only do I rinse and wet the pillow every time I add new wipes, I also pour a 5 oz. Dixie cup of water in the bottom of the machine to keep the pillow saturated longer. I check the pillow once a week and add water as needed, on the same time schedule as I water the houseplants :-). When I run out of wipes, I take the pillow out and rinse it well, saturate it again, wipe out the inside of the warmer, and replace the pillow and then pour that little cup of water in, pretty much even with the top of the pillow. I replace the pillow every three months or so as directed. Occasionally the pillow will begin to dry out and discolor (if I get off schedule), but I've purchase in the last year the plastic pillow holder that keeps the pillow from touching the bottom of the warmer and that seems to have eliminated the drying/hardening/discoloring issue. I would recommend that little accessory. As I said, I've owned this warmer for four years and have gifted the product three times for baby showers. The only issue we are having is that the rubber slot where the wipes come out is drying out and curling a bit but I guess that's to be expected after four years of continuous heated use. We're getting close to potty training #2 so I expect I'll be retiring this product soon but I have had no complaints and I recommend it.

I've got lots of kids and so I've tried a few wipe warmers out in my day. Our first one was pretty similar to this one, but unfortunately, I don't remember the brand. I'll refer to that one as "model 1". I've also had 2 of the Munchkin wipe warmers and the goal of this review is primarily to compare this Prince Lionheart ("PL") to the Munchkin. CAPACITY Munchkin wins hands down here. Having gone through tons of kids, I've also gone through boxes and boxes of wipes. My most-purchased wipes are Kirtland Signature (it's the brand you get at your local warehouse club). You technically *CAN* fit a full pack of wipes in the PL, but you really have to squish it down to close the lid and that makes taking out the first dozen a difficult task. The same pack completely fills but still fits comfortably in the Munchkin. (Note that "model 1" also fit a full pack, but since it didn't do the whole 1-at-a-time dispensing thing, it's not a fair comparison). EASE OF USE My wife hates that the Munchkin has 2 little "clips" on the side that you have to slide to open the top (I'm not talking about the lid to draw out wipes one-at-a-time, but the whole top, which you would do to add more wipes). I don't find it to be a big deal, but it drives her nuts - esp when 1 wipe does not properly "draw up" the next one mid-change. For this one, the lid just pops open and she thinks it's fantastic. However, as noted above, it is very difficult to get the first dozen (or so) wipes out of the PL whereas the Munchkin is ready to go right off the bat. For me, that's a win for Munchkin. For my wife, it's a win for PL. --> THE LID The Munchkin lid is just a piece of plastic on a hinge. No clips or anything like that. The PL has a pretty strong latch that requires you push rather hard to open. While this is good to keep the toddlers out of the wipes, it does require a bit of force and makes a "click" when you open and close it. Once open, it stays open better than the Munchkin which, annoyingly, falls closed sometimes. Again, this is preference. I like the simplicity of the Munchkin lid. My wife likes that the lid doesn't close on her with the PL. WARMING The biggest difference is that PL is a bottom-up warmer while the Munchkin is a top-down warmer. Right now we have 3 kids in diapers and sometimes go through a bunch of wipes all at once. The Munchkin sometimes gets overwhelmed, esp. if it was fairly empty to start off with. For that matter, if the Munchkin is mostly empty, the few remaining wipes don't get all that warm because the heat from the top just doesn't make it down that far. The PL does a better job of warming the whole stack all at once. I suspect (though I haven't measured it) that the Munchkin uses less power since it only has to warm the few layers that you are about to use whereas the PL warms everything all at once. I'll have to look into that... (Note: my "model 1" warmer was also bottom-up and performed about the same as the PL). ALSO, we have a plastic changing pad downstairs and we fold it up and store the wipe warmer on top of it. With the Munchkin, that worked out just fine, but the PL tends to heat the plastic up so much that... well, it doesn't melt it at all, but it does get the plastic feeling kind of soft. Maybe that won't ever be a problem, but I'm feeling a bit cautious about it... --> BROWNING The Munchkin has never browned anything - ever - at all. We haven't had any problems with the PL yet, either since it is using the "pillow". My Model 1 warmer browned wipes all the time until I figured out that I could just put a wet washcloth in the bottom (which acted the same as this "pillow" that comes with the PL). Side note on that--once I started using the wet washcloth, I never had problems with browning (unless I forgot to re-wet it when I added new wipes). If your bottom-up wipe warmer doesn't come with a pillow, or if your PL's pillow gets lost or ruined, don't buy a new one, just use a washcloth--it works fine. LIGHT Both have a very small light to let you know it is on. The Munchkin also has a brighter light you can turn on and off at the push of a button, but honestly, I have yet to use that feature. POWER Both have a power cord that easily detaches from the unit which in turn allows you to take the unit elsewhere, use it, and then easily take it back and plug it back in. This is an IMPORTANT FEATURE and one that "model 1" didn't have. If you are looking at another brand of wipe warmer, be sure that it can do this, too. Anyway, the PL's power cord plugs directly into the unit itself. The Munchkin's power cord plugs into a small "tail" that comes out of the back. The tail feature is nice because it allows you to put the unit closer to a wall, however I wish they had used a thicker gauge cable because if you aren't careful to unplug it properly (holding onto the plugs themselves and not the wires), then the wire breaks and shorts. Incidentally, this is why we have gone through 2 Munchkins--the first one was fine in every way except that the cable broke on the first one. I imagine the PL would have this same weakness, but since there is only 1 plug-to-wire transition instead of 2, that makes it 1/2 as vulnerable. More importantly, since it is going into the unit itself (which is sturdy) instead of a tail (which is "floppy"), you can easily grip the correct part of the plug and unplug it with 1 hand, so the opportunity/need to (incorrectly) pull on the wire is greatly diminished, so I'm hoping it doesn't come up. BOTTOM LINE: In the end, these are both great warmers. For me, the capacity thing makes the Munchkin a better choice, but for my wife, the need to slide 2 latches on the Munchkin in order to open the top makes the PL a better choice. I also prefer the top-down warming style. I don't think my wife has an opinion (or at least, she hasn't shared one with me yet...). If it's winter and you have a small baby, he/she won't really care which you get, but will be very grateful that you are doing something to take the chill off of those wipes and will thank you by not crying (as much) during diaper changes.

My Niece love this, she's a Grandmother and hated the old cold wipes. Babies don't like the cold on them This take care of it nice warm very comfortable for babies. Happy baby happy Mommy, Grand Mommy's

Light weight, working good

Waste of money. Does it take the icy chill off a wipe at room temperature? Yes. But does it make the wipe warm? No. The wipes are still very cool, just not cold. Also the bottom of it is a fire hazard as it heats the table it's on more than it does the wipes, leaving a super hot surface underneath. My last straw with this was that the moisture sponge dried out and burnt itself, the warmer, and the wipes after only 3 days. The manual states to add more water to it after a week or when replacing wipes but it dried out and almost caught on fire after only 3 days. I only noticed because the wipes on top smelt god awful and burnt. This thing is a hazard and doesn't even do what it claims to. Not safe and a waste of money.

Although the moisture is at top notch.durability and kinda big in size .My issue is that it’s not hot enough it’s lukewarm at its best..Green light means it’s on m.

It’s the best invention ever! No more cold wipes and cry during nappy changes.

Bon produits Même si j'ai pu m'en servir que deux semaine après... Oui au prix ou vous le vendez vous pourriez prévenir qu'il faut un adaptateur pour la prise électrique!

We use this in combination with Pampers Sensitive Baby Wipes and the two combined do a great job. The unit does the job it was designed to do - keep the wipes warm. They aren't hot and you need to use them within a few seconds so the wipe does not get cold, but the easy to use top keeps 90% or so of the wipe in the heated compartment so you really just need to pull it out and use it. We have had it for about two months and remoisten the included pad/sponge every week. So far it shows no sign of browning.

Excellent

La mejor opción de mis compras como mamá primeriza, claro, no calienta tantísimo, sino lo necesario para la limpieza de tu bebé, hay que cuidar de no dejar secar la esponja que tiene, recomiendo ponerla bajo el chorro de agua de 2 a 3 veces por semana, tarda en calentar por eso no las desconecto en todo el día, no uso el dispensador de la tapa por que se me dificulta sacar toallita por toallita, sino que abro en si totalidad la tapa, depende mucho del tamaño y grosor de la toallita, las que uso son muy delgaditas son 99% agua supongo que eso hizo que calienten más y lo conserve mejor que otras marcas, no tiene problema de espacio, es suficientemente amplio y caben más de 80 toallitas, incluso dice que caben alrededor de 100 según su instructivo. Llevo casi 3 meses usándolo y me funciona de maravilla.
