[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had been scooping and mixing powdered formula by hand, and while it didn’t seem like a big deal at the time, I wasn’t prepared for how life changing having a Baby Brezza Formula Pro machine would be! I received this Formula Pro Mini from the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it was an absolute game changer for mixing formula.
It was so convenient and time saving to be able to dispense formula at the push of a button: no opening formula containers, messy scoops, or sloppily mixing bottles. It’s so easy I could even prepare a bottle while holding my baby! It’s super helpful to be able to quickly fill a bottle when there’s a very hungry baby on the line. The dispenser funnel needs to be cleaned after every 4th bottle, but it’s still way more convenient than hand scooping and mixing formula. The size of the Formula Pro Mini is much smaller than the Advanced version, but I wouldn’t say it’s so compact that I’d stuff it into a carry on luggage for a flight. However, I would definitely consider bringing it in my car if we’re staying somewhere for a few days or even drive it over to a caregiver’s place.
The height of the machine accommodates most of my baby bottles, and I found the list of compatible formulas extensive. My tall glass bottles don’t fit standing up by themselves, but I was still able to use them by tilting them. My other 8oz bottles fit without any issues.
Setup was easy with one exception: the plastic lid has a little tab that locks the top of the machine and alerts it that the lid is fastened in. This tab is extremely delicate and can easily break off when twisting the lid if the lid isn’t inserted correctly. Once the machine is working, it’s all good, but users will need to be very careful with the lid. Once the machine was set to the correct formula setting it was easy to select how much formula I wanted to dispense.
I appreciate how compact the Formula Pro Mini is because I don’t have much counter space. The Formula Pro Mini version only has one temperature option for dispensing formula. My baby is pretty go with the flow and will drink formula at any temperature, but it’s something to keep in mind if your baby has specific preferences.
The Baby Brezza Formula Pro Mini is one of the THE MOST useful baby products I have, and I wish I had it from moment my baby was born! I highly recommend it to anyone who uses formula powder!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this product to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I absolutely loved the BabyBrezza formula Pro Mini. It is great for those night time feedings so convenient and compact! Love that it can automatically make a warm formula bottle of your little one in a pinch! It mixes the perfect amount of formula and water to make a bottle. Set up was pretty easy! One thing I would change would be the lid for the container of formula easier to put on its kinda hard to get off and on. Other then that I would I definitely recommend this product to a new mom. Also great for traveling!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Formula Mini Pro is a lifesaver! It absolutely does everything. You simply add the formula and the bottled water and bam it is set up. I love this product so much. There is no more measuring scoops, no more measuring water, and no more worries about the temperature of the formula. The formula mini handles everything. I just put the bottle down and click a button. It mixes everything to the formula companies specs for a perfect bottle every time. My only real suggestion would be if it came with cartoons or in multiple fun colors but I would definitely buy this again and again for my new mommy friends. I received this as part of the Stellar Testing Panel in exchange for my honest opinion and The Mini Pro did not disappoint in any way! Save yourself time, energy, and headaches and grab one!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, whoever invented this machine needs some kind of award. I can not say enough good things about the Baby Brezza formula pro machines. I wasn't lucky enough to be able to breastfeed my baby, so this thing was a LIFE SAVER. Especially for all of those late night/early morning feedings. To be able to have a perfectly measured and warmed bottle in a second made things so much easier. No waiting for it to heat up or having to measure the formula. It just made bottle feeding such a breeze. I would say it's the most used baby item we have. If you're on the fence about buying this, DO IT.
I have both the pro advanced and the mini, and I love having both of them. I've traveled with the mini and plan on doing it again. The smaller size was really easy to travel with and it was really nice to have on our trip.
We've been jumping around trying different formulas for our little guy, and the machine has had no problem mixing the various brands we've tried. It's super easy to set up too and has a little adjustable ledge to fit your bottle. They really thought of everything!
Some people would say this is more of a want than a need, but let me tell you.. it's a NEED. I can't thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel enough for sending me this to try!

There are a lot of steps you NEED to follow before setting this up. Just like everything else when it comes to your baby, you need to clean and disinfect it. There are a lot of pieces so be prepared.
Once you have it set up, it's easy to use and will most definitely save you time preparing those bottles. There's a lot of tinkering you'll need to do (removing/replacing pieces) in order to get the proper measurements and you may lose some formula along the way, but it does save you time when it comes to making the actual bottles.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this formula mixer from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It’s a really nice looking mixer and resembles other instant dispenser machines that you may use in the morning. I personally wouldn’t label the machine as portable by any means just because it is still a fairly large size on my kitchen counter. In my mind something portable that has to do with food preparation would fit inside my baby bag. It does fit the bottles that I use but I did have to remove the drip tray and angle the bottle underneath the spout in order to get it to fit properly. Also, this machine is a little noisy! I have a super sensitive baby when it comes to random noises while he’s sleeping and this did make him stir a couple of times. I do love how quickly the machine was able to warm up the water and how quickly the dispensing was. Figuring out what buttons to press to set my ounces and formula type were pretty easy to understand and quick start if you needed. I wish that a list of the formulas and numerical configurations was provided in the box rather than having to go to a website but I understand the need to add or change these things as the market evolves in terms of formula offerings. There are parts that you need to clean frequently and as such it does add to my daily workload. Overall I wouldn’t necessarily say that this mixer added to my convenience but it was nice to use for a quick bottle grab. Loving the black and white color scheme too! I’d be interested in seeing a bottle warmer or formula holding unit from this brand in the future!
