Advantages: Great for on the go.

Disadvantages: Powder gets stuck.

We have two of these dispensers as we were told by a friend that they can make night feeding quicker as you can pre-measure your powder. We were also told that they're essential for feeding when out and about, which they definitely are, though they are quite bulky in our already overflowing changing bag.

One major drawback to their use (at home or while out and about) is that the spout where the milk comes out is slightly too far away from the edge of the body of the dispenser. This always means that some of the powder gets caught and left inside. You can then spend a good minute or so banging the pot at several angles trying to release that last little bit.

The lid to the pot is also very stiff to put on and off when you are refilling it. These are design flaws which would put me off recommending these to anyone. Any steralized pot with a lid would work equally as well and wouldn't have cost £5.

The only plus points are that the pot can be steralized without melting and when it has been finished with as a powder dispenser, the central divider can be removed and it can be used as a weaning pot or a general food container...small food though... as it's not that big!

It measures 9cm diameter at it's widest part, and it is 8cm high. Each of the three compartments will each comfortably take 9 scoops of powder.

Summary: Not bad.
