Perfect Prep Pro
7.8/10 overallAround £149.99
A formula prep machine that dispenses correctly heated and mixed water in under 2 minutes.
The verdict
Perfect Prep Pro, around £149.99, filters and heats water to a formula-safe temperature on demand, dispensing a bottle in under two minutes with a Night mode for dimmed overnight feeds. Best for parents wanting more direct control over powder measurement than a fully automated machine gives. Skip it if you want zero manual steps — you still add and mix formula powder by hand.
Perfect Prep filters and heats water to a formula-safe temperature on demand, dispensing the right volume at the press of a button so a bottle can be made in under two minutes without boiling a kettle and waiting for it to cool. The 'Night' mode dims the display and adds a soft light for 3am feeds without needing the main room light on.
Against Baby Brezza's Formula Pro Advanced, Perfect Prep only handles the water side — you still add and mix the formula powder by hand — while the Formula Pro dispenses pre-mixed formula and water together in one action. That makes the Baby Brezza faster for a fully hands-off feed, but Perfect Prep is generally seen as giving more direct control over powder measurement, which some parents prefer for consistency.
Is the Perfect Prep Pro worth it?
- Genuinely fast, consistent bottle prep at any hour
- Night mode is a real quality-of-life feature for overnight feeds
- Filters water as it heats
What are the downsides of the Perfect Prep Pro?
- Significant upfront cost
- Still requires manually adding formula powder
- Needs regular descaling and a dedicated countertop spot
