*Themaximum score is 100 points
As part of our practical test, we tested the baby bottle warmer in detail and documented the results using the specified test methods. The product impresses with its even heating using pre-programmed thermal curves, which preserve nutrients and vitamins in the milk and integrate an automatic anti-bellyache function. Operation is particularly user-friendly thanks to the 1-click button and four modes. The bottle warmer also has five programmes and a digital display. The only point of criticism is the plastic insert, which floats upwards under low loads and cannot be firmly attached. Cleaning the appliance is easy thanks to the removable parts and the manufacturer’s care instructions. The product is suitable for bottles up to a height of 21.5 cm and a diameter of 9 cm as well as jars . It also has a defrost and sterilisation function. However, the stand can be somewhat unstable for smaller bottles. For safety, the baby bottle warmer has a temperature display, a 24-hour keep warm function and a dry run protection. Overall, the bottle warmer is safe and easy to use for parents.

*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. There are isolated criticisms of the product’s lack of quality and a confusing instruction manual. On the other hand, the heating performance, operation and value for money are positively emphasised. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive points. However, we were unable to understand the criticism.
Prices of up to €70 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €30 . The Grundig baby bottle warmer is therefore currently in the middle price segment with a price of €49.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
