Best Wipe Warmer Reviews 2018

Wipe warmers are not terribly expensive devices. They’re simple devices that just keep your baby’s wipes warm. They don’t have too many functions and features, either, so their price range isn’t very wide. For between $25 and $40, you can get a very good set.

The little features that can affect the price of a wipe warmer include: brand, capacity, and extra features like anti-bacterial technology and a nightlight. These differences aren’t much, which also explains why the price range is pretty stable.

We’ve ensured that no cheap wipe warmers made this list, as they won’t have as many features or work as well. Only wipe warmers that will give full value have been selected for your comfort and ease of mind.

Like we’ve stated earlier, there are very few things that need to be considered when choosing a wipe warmer. There are a few listed below, which we think you should watch for, however. They include:

• Type - regular wipes or reusable wipes
• Capacity – how many wipes it can warm
• Power requirement – how the device is powered (electric, adaptors, etc.)
• Nightlight – this is a convenient feature to find in your wipe warmer for easy nighttime changing
• Extras – while most don’t have many of these, one thing you may find is antibacterial technology

The first thing you need to consider when choosing a wipe warmer is the type you want. Do you use reusable wipes or disposable ones? If you’re environmentally-conscious and prefer reusable wipes, then you may need to look out for an appropriate wipe warmer.

Another thing you may need to consider is the capacity of the warmer. Most wipe warmers hold between 80 and 100 regular-sized wipes. Determine what capacity is most suitable for you and look for one with that capacity.

Most, if not all, wipe warmers use regular electric power. Some come with adaptors so they can be plugged in the car. Be sure that the power requirement matches your power supply. It would be nasty if you were to plug your 110V warmer into a 220V power source.

A lot of wipe warmers come with nightlights so you can easily change the baby’s diaper without putting on the main room lights. Some of these nightlights have switches so you can turn them on or off, while others automatically turn off after some minutes of inactivity. Still others stay on as long as the warmer is on. It’s up to you to decide which is best for you.

There aren’t many other features to expect from a wipe warmer. However, one of our top picks has an EPA-approved antibacterial additive that ensures bacteria don’t survive in the warmer. If this is something that appeals to you, then be sure to stay tuned.

There are a few things that can help you get the best from your wipe warmer. At the top of the list is unplugging the warmer when not in use. If you won’t be using the warmer for some time, it’s best to unplug it, so the wipes stay moist while also giving the warmer some time off.

Next, regardless of the capacity the manufacturer attributes to the warmer, don’t fill it to the brim. The heating element is usually in the cover, so you don’t want your wipes close enough to it that they dry out. Loading the warmer to the brim can also make it difficult to dispense wipes, as they may be squashed against the cover.

Another thing to note is that without the moisture in the wipes, they’re simply paper-like material which can burn. This is another reason not to fill up the container to the brim and too close to the heating element.

Even if you have a warmer with an antibacterial additive, ensure you wipe the container regularly to keep it clean. Make sure you don’t use abrasive materials that can scratch the surface of the warmer, as this can create hiding places for bacteria.

Always have a small pool of water at the bottom of the wipe warmer; this will help prevent your wipes from drying out. But do not pour water on the wipes.
