Formula Pro Advanced
7.6/10 overallAround £180
A fully automated machine that mixes powder and water together to dispense a ready-to-feed bottle.
The verdict
The Formula Pro Advanced, around £180, is the most automated option in this category — load powder into the hopper and it dispenses fully mixed, correctly heated formula in under 20 seconds. Best for households making up a lot of bottles a day who want a genuinely hands-off process. Skip it for occasional formula top-ups alongside breastfeeding — it may be more machine than needed, and the hopper needs frequent careful cleaning.
The Formula Pro Advanced goes a step further than water-only machines: load formula powder into its hopper and it dispenses fully mixed, correctly heated formula directly into the bottle, at whatever volume is selected. That's a genuinely hands-off process compared with Perfect Prep, where you still measure and add powder manually each time.
The trade-off is the hopper itself, which needs regular cleaning to avoid powder clumping or bacterial build-up, and a higher price point than water-only machines. For a household making up a lot of bottles a day, the extra automation can be worth it; for occasional formula top-ups alongside breastfeeding, it may be more machine than needed.
