I got mine and it left the formula clumpy and even burned some to the side. Is there something I could have done incorrectly?

Mine did the same thing. It's a little better if you stop the machine at 48 seconds, but then you have clumps and the formula is still way to hot for baby.

We premade our bottles..... I would prepare 4 bottles at a time place them in the fridge and when the time came I would pour the premade bottle into the machine. Perfect mixture....perfect temp. You have to mix at least 4 ounces at a time. Soy formula is a little harder to mix, it tends to clump. Also make sure your mixer (purple star shaped insert) is on properly, the liquid gets much hotter if it is not spinning properly. If that doesn't help, you may have a faulty machine. I was gifted one at our baby shower and I was so pleased with it I bought another one for my caregiver when I returned to work. Neither of us have had any issues. Hope this helps.

I mix it with water or juice then drink lots of water during the day. I always have some clumps which I just throw away...just drink what is mixed!

The tube I got was full of liquid but I just shook it (for about a minute) until it hardened; it started coming out as a thick cream. I left it out for two days to see if it would go back to being liquid but that hasn't happened...yet. Though I don't know if it's a bad batch like C.Ho said since I haven't experienced any sunburn. I'm dark skinned so that might be why.

Apparently the formula was changed...it used to be a cream. Mixing won't help. It still does a god job, even in that state...Regards

My best recommendation would be to: (1) make sure you're using a tightly clumping litter, and (2) make sure you're adding just plain baking soda to be collection bin and the litter itself. This should help immensely. :)

I'd send it back. It could be old, or melted and re-solidified. It's supposed to be creamy, not grainy.

I put the amount of water I need to use in first. Then I put the formula in. I then just mix it like the instructions says. I have never had a problem with clumping.

You need to try making a few Pizzelles. I thought the same thing until I notice the gap was needed for the mix to spread and "puff" Amazon will take it back if it does preform and make even browning.

I was fortunate and didn't have any residue left. Try using a little goo gone. Don't really have anything to lose if you can't use it all sticky

Thats not good! We bought it and have used it a lot - and no problems. If you got it from Amazon, have you contacted them first to see it you go through them or Weber? Have you cleaned it off with a brush? Maybe its clogged.

Maybe it was that mine was defective, but it was a complete failure. The top burned and the bottom not done. Its best to make them the old fashioned way. Return it if it doesn't do what they say it will. Lois

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

Im having the same problem and according to the reviews on this site...We are not alone. Ive tried saturating the heck out of um .. to a fine mist and no mater what they just dont seem to stick very well. Looks to me like it needs more work. There was some mention about placing it under a book to flatten the design? I dont know... to be honest the instructions that came with this thing, In my opinion were very lacking. If my 6 yr old son didnt just "HAVE TO HAVE IT!" I wouldnt have gone with this toy and I wont be recommending it to anyone else.

I put the water in first and then dump all the formula on top. And like the other poster said, make sure you adjust the little stopper piece so you can pull the blade all the way up if you're making a larger portion. Just push it up and down slowly the first few times so the formula doesn't creep up the side and then you're good to go.

Diluting it with a little baby oil would help the consistency. that is what I did.

I e-mailed the distributor and explained the problem of having something that I couldn't use and they e-mailed me not only the directions but recipes. It's easy to use once you know what you have. Hope you have as much success as I did. I use it very often and really like the convenience and the fact that it doesn't heat up my kitchen. I live on the desert so hate anything that adds heat. Good luck

I overfilled mine and it had some problems right after, but once it had dried the problems resolved themselves. Before it dried out I thought I had ruined it.
