Munchkin Warm Glow Baby Wipe Warmer, White

Why did you pick this product vs others?:So far, really great! I would always feel so guilty for shocking my son with cold wipes, so I caved and bought this even though a lot of people said it was unnecessary. It has truly made a difference for our son, and we haven’t noticed the wipes drying up or anything! The little light in front is really dim, but I appreciate it being there nonetheless.

This wipe warmer is absolutely awesome. I kind of wish we'd bought one for our two previous children. We've always steered away from wipe warmers in the past, because we heard they dried out wipes and made them brown, rough, and sand-papery (and a relative had a wipe warmer that did just that). Cold wipes are better on a baby's bottom than something rough and dried out! And the other reason we never bought one is that we thought they were a frivolous extravagance.Fast forward to our third baby, who is three weeks now. He has a MAJOR dislike of being cold. He would literally shriek every time a normal, cold wipe touched his bottom. Our other two kids really didn't care, but he just howls and sobs. So we've gone from viewing these as an extravagance to a necessity, at least for certain kids, and we went shopping for one.Ultimately, we picked this model, and we love it. Here is what is great about it:1. Wipes are VERY nice and warms. Some people say they are lukewarm or "not much warmer than air temperature", but they either aren't keeping the top flap closed or they have a defective unit. Mine is clearly not not defective and keeps wipes at a perfect feeling warm temperature.2. Even the last wipes at the bottom of the container are nice and warm. Some reviewers have said only the top wipes of a full container are warm (this unit warms from the top), but I just can't understand how that could be, except for the reasons mentioned in point 1. Mine are very nice and warm all the way down.3. These stay very nice and moist. Since my son is a newborn, I only use one, or at most two, wipes per changing, meaning I go through them slowly. Yet they still don't dry out, and they are just as moist as they are when I buy them, only warmer.4. I've seen people write reviews of other brands of warmers who say they have to do things like put a wet sponge at the bottom of the warmer to keep things moist, periodically do complicated cleanings to remove bacteria/mold, etc. None of that will be an issue with this brand. They stay warm without any sponges or other "fixes" at the bottom, and they are solid, non-porous, smooth molded plastic inside with no seams, cracks or crevices. So if you did need to clean one out (which I haven't had to do at this point), a quick swipe with an anti-bacterial wipe should be all that is required to fully sanitize it.5. Since this unit warms from the top, you can keep a diaper or a tube of Desitin sitting on top of it, and that will be warm for baby too. If find my son doesn't care too much if his diapers have been pre-warmed, but I did try it and can say it works for that if you child needs a warmer diaper (maybe in the winter it will matter more).Cons - This are minor1. The night light, as others have said, is worthless. You can't see anything by the light it gives off... certainly you can't see if a baby's bottom is clean after they have a dirty diaper. And you don't need the nightlight to find this unit either, since the button on the front glows very softly. So I really see no purpose for having this... they should either improve the quality of light it gives off or remove it and lower the price a few pennies. But, this doesn't impact my five start rating since I bought this to warm wipes, not light the room (and it is exceptional at warming wipes).2. It would be nice if it were slightly deeper to accommodate a standard, full stack of wipes. If you've ever seen the standard plastic wipes dispenser that comes with a box of, say, Huggies wipes, you know what I'm talking about. This warmer is sized similarly to those boxes, but has a somewhat smaller capacity due to the extra insulation in the base and the warmer in the top, which limits the space left for wipes. Maybe it had to be that way to keep the product from being too clunky, or maybe the warmer wouldn't be able to warm the bottom of the stack if the space was larger, but I just thought I'd mention it. It's not enough of an issue to remove a star.All in all, this is an excellent product. It does exactly what it promises, and is essential for cold-intolerant babies!

Ease of use:Super easy to use straight out of the box. Heats up the wipes well and at a steady temp for baby’s comfort.

Works well and fits its price but the light (on/off button, not light switch) is SO bright in a blacked out room, we had to put something over to cover it. The only way to get the light off is to unplug which defeats the purpose. Good if you need. Nightlight!

I love it it came with attachments cord to plug in and then the light come on but am please with it only thing I notice the lid is a bit slack but wrk well same way

As a wipe warmer, this has worked continuously for nearly two years and we've never had issues with it. The temperature is good - it really makes diaper changes go better not having the shock of a cold wipe. It does tend to accumulate condensation inside, but it's easy to clean so I've never been too bothered by that. However, I am deducting two stars because the white (not warm white) light is too bright, it illuminates the whole room. It's nice to be able to push the button and have a light to change a diaper by at night, but the fact that there's no way to turn off the night light after the main light is off is really annoying. If it already had a button to control the other light, what's so hard about making the button turn off both lights if you press it twice, for example? I wouldn't mind if it were a warm light, but it's too bright and cool at night. It's hard to cover it up since it glows through the plastic, and if you cover the entire wipe warmer it gets too hot. If it weren't for that one issue, I would have given 5 stars though.

I am over late in reviewing this, but decided it might still be worth my time, since it is still available. I purchased this in 2016. It was used constantly, and gave up the ghost in the spring 2024. I'd say I got more than my money's worth out of it.Huggies and other wipes of that size fit perfectly. I also crammed the larger wipes, like Procare Large Adult Washclothes, into it without difficulty.A couple of things I particularly like about it were:- the power cord could be disconnected close to the warmer, making it easy to unplug and move to a different location temporarily, when necessary (happened for me several times a week). I couldn't tell from the current description if the cord is still like this. The power cord was also pretty long, but I don't remember how long and don't still have it to measure.- with the heating element in the lid, when the supply of wipes in the warmer was getting low, I could place the new pack on top of the warmer to start warming up. If I had a big cleanup, and ran out of wipes in the warmer, the new pack was already warm.TIP - keeping wipes from drying out:Wipes that come in packs designed to use them out of the pack - they can be placed in the warmer, in their pack. Just make sure to close the pack's little lid.When using the big refill packs (like Huggies come in), there's a plastic sheet in the middle of the refill pack - keep this tucked around the top of the wipes in the warmer and it will keep them from drying out.This was used for caring for my adult son, who is disabled and incontinent. It died just when we didn't need it for summer (central Texas - cool wipes feel good when the weather is hot!). I am now looking to replace, before the weather cools off. I will probably get another one of these.
