Homia Dansa 8-in-1 Baby Food Maker Review

When most baby food makers try to stand out with their numbers of functionality, Homia Dansa sets itself apart by creating a 3-tiered ‘pyramid’ structure.

What this means it that it has the ability to steam and prepare three different meals all at once, something no other baby food maker can achieve to date.

Of course, the Dansa is not limiting on its function as well - there are a whopping total of 8 functions in this 1 machine: Steam, Sterilize, Cook, Juice, Warm, Defrost, Puree and Chop.

From meat and fish to vegetables and fruits, it can cook just about anything.

Main Functions in Detail

As mentioned, a ‘pyramid’ like cup is formed by using 3 food compartments of different sizes stacked on top one another for you to steam and prepare three different kinds of meals.

You don’t always have to stack all 3 every time, you can just use 1 container if need be.

That's not all - the pyramid design allows you to remove any ingredient right in the middle of the process, something that is extremely handy when you are preparing several meals with different cooking times.

All pyramid baskets as well as the shatterproof Tritan stirring cup itself are dishwasher safe so it is very easy and convenient to clean. Likewise, the stainless blade is removable as well for cleaning purposes.

When it comes to operation, the Dansa is very easy to use.

All 8 functions have their own button on an intuitive touch control panel interface - all you need to do is just press the button of the preferred cooking method and the baby food maker will do the rest.

What Comes in the Package

As pictured above, you get 3 steaming baskets of different sizes (5oz, 12oz and 25oz), a heat insulation cover, splash cover and a pair of baby bottle tongs besides the main baby food maker machine itself in a beautiful gift box that makes for a good baby shower gift option.

On top of that, a user manual as well as a recipe book are also included to teach you ways and cooking methods you can use to prepare healthy and nutritious baby food for your little one.

We recommend going through the user manual first so that you have a precise understanding on how to use the machine - it’s very straightforward and easy to understand so it shouldn’t

Pros & Cons

Pros

Can cook 3 different meals simultaneously
8-in1 function
Very affordable
Easy to clean
Compartments dishwasher safe
FDA certified BPA, phthalate and lead free

Cons

Compatible with 110V power network only (need to purchase a power converter otherwise - at least 300W for use outside North America)

Conclusion

For a price as such, there really isn’t much you can fault the Homia Dansa 8-in-1 Baby Food Maker.

You get everything you need for a baby food maker and the 3-tier food compartment is definitely a winner in terms of ease and convenience preparing baby food.

While we’re at it, you may like to check out their Infano line as well - a 7-in-1 baby food mill that resembles the Evla’s closely and has received overwhelming response from the public since its release (recently upgraded in 2019).

Evla’s Baby Food Maker Review

You may not heard of the brand Evla's before but that's okay - it is a relatively new player in the industry after all - nonetheless, one that is making huge waves with its multi-award winning baby food maker!

Winner of the 2019 National Parenting Product Awards, Mom's Choice and Baby Maternity Magazine, it has received a close to perfect rating score from users across who cannot rave enough about this product.

Amongst everything, one feature that is highly commended and loved by many is how very simple and easy to use this baby food maker is.

The pictured instruction on the left is exactly all you have to do - no extras.

One finger is all it takes to steam cook and blend your little ones healthy and nutritious meal. You can then get on with your day and the touch screen timer will let you know when it’s ready!

Unlike traditional boiling where nutrients are usually destroyed, the Evla's unique steaming cycle will lock in nutrients, flavours and vitamins to ensure your little one benefits from tasty and healthy homemade food.

The Auto and Manual Blend options, on the other hand, allow you to choose the exact consistency of your baby’s meal (purees to solid).

We especially like how the auto blend has this really nice pulse method so that it can blend even the thickest of mixtures.

And all that, you do so by using the modern touch screen control panel for selection.

Not limited to just steaming and blending, you can also defrost and reheat your baby food using the Evla's.

Which is quite necessary if you'd ask us, because the large capacity of the blending bowl will mean you can prepare your baby's meal in bulk.

Don't worry, this package includes 6 complimentary fully reusable food pouches so that you can store the excess and freeze them before defrosting and reheating them to feed baby on the go.

The functions do not stop there - the Evla's Baby Food Maker can even Sterilize and Self Clean!

You won't need to buy a bottle sterilizer separately anymore and the self-cleaning cycle, let us tell you, makes all the difference.

Just add some clean water and the machine does the rest!

For any stubborn stains, the stirring cup is dishwasher safe.

And unlike many other water tanks that often harbour mould, this one here has a wide opening so it is very easy to clean and dry.

Pros & Cons

There is one issue worth mentioning though - you may see an Error message (E1) and this seems to be pretty common for quite a number of first-time users.

Do not worry, it just means that the stirring bowl is not properly attached to the base. This is actually a safety protection implemented to prevent the food processor from operating when the stirring cup is not in place.

In any case, we recommend reading the instructions fully first before starting to use the machine. The manual is straight to the point and easy to understand without any fluff so you should be able to get the hang out of it fairly quickly. From then on, it should be a breeze.

We do have to bring to your attention the cooking time of the Evla's though - the base cooking time is 15 minutes (20 if it's meat) after which there will be a few minutes of mixing.

Add that to the 10-minute sterilize cycle before each run (personal preference - you don't need to), we're looking at 30-45 minutes before a batch is ready. The good thing is, you spend less than 15 minutes in front of it.

Nevertheless, this is something to keep in mind - if you're looking for something fast, the Evla's not the one for you. Rather, this 15-minute (or less) baby food maker will be right up your alley instead.

Pros

Very easy to use
Cheaper than leading brands
Multi-award winning
Excellent customer service
Steam, blend, defrost, reheat, sterilize and self clean
Reusable food pouches included
Leakproof seal and spill-proof lid
100% money back guarantee

Cons

The bowl lid has a tendency to open back a little while securing it to the base - need to pay attention otherwise steam may get out
Long cooking cycle (30-45 mins)

Conclusion

FDA approved and doesn’t contains any nasties like BPA, Phthalate nad Lead, it has a sleek design that will fit perfectly into any kitchen interior with style without taking up much counter space.

Overall, we can safely say that the Evla's Baby Food Maker is one of the best baby food makers in the market. Its top quality surpasses our expectation and tops that of many other leading competitors' that have a much higher price point.

Best of all, a 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE is offered so you're completely risk free!

BÉABA Babycook Plus Baby Food Maker Review

The BÉABA Babycook Plus is the Babycook (in-depth review here), but with twice the capacity and a few additional functions.

Yep, this means that the Babycook Plus is perfect for those having twins, or for busy moms who'd like to prepare their baby's food in large batches.

CLICK HERE FOR THE BEST DEAL

Main Functions

As you can tell from its name, the BÉABA Babycook Plus is a 4-in-1 steam cooker and blender baby food maker. It steam cooks, blends, defrost and reheats - all in 15 minutes or less.

Yes, you can prepare fruits, vegetables, pasta/grains, meat or fish from raw to any stage baby food you want, from purees to solids, all in 15 minutes.

The patented steam heating system ensures that all vitamins and nutrients are locked in so you can have peace of mind that you are feeding baby only the best.

And while we're on the topic of safety, you will be glad to learn that the water reservoir uses stainless steel and not plastic material, while all other parts and compartments are BPA, Lead and Phthalate free.

Designed in France, it allows an easy, one-hand operation so that you can do batch-cooking or steam two dishes at once.

It has a one-touch open and close function and it will shut off automatically and beep when done.

The 2 large capacity bowls (9.4 cups to be exact) allow you to prepare up to 18 servings of baby food at a time. You can get a few of these freezer storage containers to then store the large batches of pureed food and serve baby on the go.

In terms of accessories, it comes with a mixing lid/smoothie filter, spatula, steam basket and recipe booklet. We find the steam basket to be especially useful as it separates food from the steaming liquid.

Pros & Cons

Pros

4-in-1 blend, steam, defrost and reheat function
Narrow footprint
Removable cord for easy storage
BPA, lead and phtahlate free
Automatic safety shutoff
One-handed operation
Large capacity allows two food to be cooked simultaneously
Quick cooking time
Stainless steel water reservoir

Cons

Blender is made from plastic
Blending power may not be strong enough to blend some hard food
Parts are not easy to clean
More expensive
Bigger in size

Comparison with the Babycook

If you have read our review on the Babycook, you may wonder: what exactly is the difference between the two?

Here is a side-by-side comparison:

	BABYCOOK	BABYCOOK PLUS

CAPACITY	4.7 cups/ 1.1L	9.4 cups / 2.2L
COOKING TIME	15 mins	15 mins
MAIN FUNCTIONS	4-in-1 steam cook, blend, defrost, reheat	4-in-1 steam cook, blend, defrost, reheat, one-handed operation, simultaneous/multi-stage cooking
ACCESSORIES	Recipe booklet, Mixing lid, Spatula, Steam Basket	Recipe booklet, Mixing lid, Spatula, Steam Basket

As you can see, the two are almost identical in every sense with the biggest difference being the Babycook Plus having double the capacity, and 2 additional main functions.

Also, the Babycook Plus comes in 3 different colours only – Cloud, Gold and White - unlike Babycook which comes in a whopping 7 colour options.

Now with a price difference of $50 between the two, which one should you go for? We will definitely say go for the Babycook Plus if you're having twins, but if that is not the case, then it all comes down to preference.

If you're a stay-at-home mom who'd like to cook fresh each time for your little bub, then the Babycook is sufficient.

On the other hand, if you're a busy working mom, then cooking in large batches then freezing them may be a preferred option in which case the Babycook Plus will be a more ideal option.

The Babycook Plus undoubtedly is more value for money, given you get double the cooking capacity with just an extra $50 but if counter space is an issue, then you will be better off with the Babycook.

About the Brand

Do you know that BÉABA is the first ever brand that introduces at-home baby food making products in the market?

Yes, the Babycook (their signature product) is the very first baby food maker available in the market which has since then, made life so much easier and convenient for parents across the world.

Apart from that, BÉABA also offers a complete collection of innovative baby food preparation products. There are food storage containers, cookbooks, bottle warmer (more here) and even attractive children's feeding products that will delight both parents and babies.

In recent years, BÉABA has even extended its product line to baby products such as the baby high chair (more here) and baby bathtub (more here), all of which have received warm feedback from users across.

With over 25 years of experience, you can trust that you're in good hands with the BÉABA Babycook Plus 4-in-1 Steam Cooker & Blender baby food maker.
