 WEAK!Nov 28, 2007
In addition to the weak design that makes this unit more noisey than it should be in terms of caring for babies, and in addition to the weak design that causes water to collect inside the unit, ours' has heated to the point that the plastic on the lid has warped and the unit will no longer close - after only one week of use. I am calling the company and demanding that they take it back and refund my money.

Design flaws lead to several problemsMay 02, 2007
I bought this based on the name - Combi - and the fact that I have a travel system of theirs which I absolutely love. Unfortunately, their expertise does not extend to wipe warmers. Conceptually, this would be a great product for any changing table - my baby loves the warm wipes (I know this because she literally jumps when we're out and about and the wipes I used aren't warmed - and she's not happy when she jumps like that!).
But the design of this unit leads to several problems. The design is as follows:
- To open the unit, you press the yellow button on the top front, and the lid pops open. This lid holds the heater, so the top wipe in the stack is the warmest.
- When the lid opens, the next piece you see is a plastic second lid with a hole in it - basically this holds down the wipes, which are on a spring-loaded base at the bottom of the unit. You pull the wipes through that hole one wipe at a time. And they are definitely warmed!
- To load wipes into the unit, you squeeze together two pieces of plastic which are attached to this second lid. They unlatch and allow you access to the wipes holder, the base of which is spring-loaded. You push that spring-loaded base down, load in the wipes refill, push down the latches on the second lid, and push down the first lid. The attachment of the first lid engages the springs, so the next time you open the lid, the wipes are pushed up to the heater.
Unfortunately, the major design flaw here is the latches on the second lid, which can't compensate for the springs. They aren't strong enough for multiple wipe loadings, and have weakened over time.
So let's say you've got a middle-of-the-night changing happening. You quietly put your baby on the changing pad, get out the new diaper, remove the old one, push the yellow button on this warmer unit lid...and suddenly the springs release, popping all the wipes up, the second lid hits the first, and you've got a wide-awake child on your hands! (This happened to us several times before I decided to throw in the towel on this unit.)
Another problem mentioned by other reviewers is the sudden appearance of water underneath the unit. This is true and is a major electrical hazard - based on how much water we found under this unit one night, I havea to admit, I'm surprised this hasn't been recalled yet. We mitigated this somewhat by placing a waterproof vinyl pad under the unit, but really we should have just chucked this thing a long time ago. I'm in search of another unit now, but wanted to warn all parents about the dangers of this unit.

**Do NOT buy Combi Wipe Warmer**Aug 01, 2006
After reading the reviews this sounded like an easy choice. I was VERY wrong. When I first plugged it in I could not believe how quickly the wipes heated. I thought it was great. I did think they were way too hot after they were in a while... but a quick shake after I pulled one out cooled it down enough to make it safe. Then a few days later I was pulling them out and the inner lid popped open... and kept popping open with every change. THEN when I lifed the unit to put new wipes in... my $700 changing table / dresser was flooded and warped! ( I had it replaced!!) I had not known it because the pad and a basket were on the table, too. Same problems kept happening. So I called Combi...Customer Service told me the Instruction Manual states that the wipes are to be left in the packaging. She said that the excess moisture which caused the flooding would be held by the packaging. Of course I could not measure the amount of fluid... but I am not exaggerating when I say CUPS! Even if it did hold the CUPS of water.. so when the plastic pacaking is empty and no longer has wipes, it is filled with excess cups of moisture and then you have to remove that to dispose of it???? And although it is stated... a) there should be a warning to NEVER use wipes not in a package and b) WHY! I bought a large "bag" of Huggies wipes.. there is no package to pop in.
Second... she told me that the unit is not supposed to stay plugged in all the time.. and that this too, is in the Manual. So I lookeed at that, too. Not in the "Usage" part.. but on the back under "Cautions" it states this: "Unplug power cord when not in use". Okay.... when you have a newborn.. when are you NOT using your wipes.. LOL! She said it should be plugged in and unplugged several times a day to keep them warm!!! I guess a new mom is supposed to schedule that! AND... if that was an acceptable property of the product.. shouldn't there be a switch?? I would have to move the dresser every time.. or get an extention cord, of course! Crazy!
Combi gave me, what I consider, ridiculous answers. They also need to get real when they write the Manual.
For the record.. I have written a review one other time to rave about my Little Bissell. This frustrated me so much I HAD to share the info.!!!!!! Also.. this is baby #4 so I am quite familiar with baby products.

 Awsome Warmer for Any Age ChildJul 20, 2006
I bought this because my 18-month-old grandson whom I am raising started having fits when it came time to change his diaper. This really helped to make diaper changing a breeze. Even though it states you should use the packages you can just put a stack of wipes in although sometimes you have to add water on them to keep them moist but it works like a charm. I always thought baby wipe warmers were just another gimmick because I did not have them when my kids were growing up but it sure helped to solve his problem.
Thanks so much for a great product.

HorribleMay 23, 2006
It worked great for a few days, then as I got to the bottom of the batch of wipes, they were totally dry. Also, the whole thing flooded my changing table, not sure why, but I am returning this unit.
