Tommee Tippee
Quick-Chop Electric Mini Food Chopper
7.7/10 overallAbout £24 (RRP £29.99)
A compact 500ml electric chopper-blender for quickly puréeing or roughly chopping small batches of baby food.
The verdict
The Tommee Tippee Quick-Chop, around £24, is a compact 500ml electric chopper-blender with a 200W motor and three stainless steel blades, for blending already-cooked food rather than steaming it. It's a cheaper, easier-to-store alternative to a combined steam-and-blend machine like the Babycook, best for parents who already cook or steam vegetables separately.
This sits at a different point in the market to the BEABA Babycook already listed: it's a chopper-blender only, with no steaming function, so it's built for people who cook or steam vegetables and meat separately (hob, microwave, or leftovers from the family meal) and just need a fast way to turn them into a purée or a chunkier textured meal. The 200W motor and three stainless steel blades handle soft cooked food well, and a one-touch button lets you pulse for texture control as weaning progresses from smooth to lumpier.
Against the Babycook, the trade-off is capability for simplicity and price: no steaming means one less appliance function, but also a smaller, lighter unit that's easier to store and quicker to clean, since the glass bowl, blades and silicone base are all dishwasher-safe. It's explicitly not built for hard ingredients like ice or raw vegetables, and Tommee Tippee caps continuous use at 30 seconds, so it's really a "cook it another way, then blend it here" tool rather than an all-in-one steamer-blender.
For parents who already steam or microwave vegetables and just want a fast, low-cost blending step, this is a sensible, cheaper alternative to a full steam-and-blend machine. Anyone wanting steaming built in should look at the Babycook or a similar combined unit instead.

How we scored it
Prep Speed
How quickly it steams, blends or portions a batch of food.
Ease of Cleaning
Number of parts and dishwasher-safety after a messy prep session.
Bowl, blades and silicone base are all dishwasher-safe, and the compact size means it doesn't hog draining-board space the way a full steamer-blender does.
Value for Money
Cost relative to how much use you get across the weaning months.
Cheaper than a combined steam-and-blend machine, but you're paying for a chopper only — anyone without a separate steaming step will find this less complete than the Babycook.
