Customer Reviews

time saver!
We have twins, and before getting this product, we were hand washing bottles ALL the time. This is a huge time saver! There are little holes and places to put all of the pieces, and everything comes out sterilized. My only complaint is that the nipples and collars don't exactly fit in their places. It doesn't seem to affect how clean they get. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is strictly using bottles, or for parents of multiples.

A great product.
This is a great product and it definitely adds peace of mind to a new mom's list of worries about contaminated bottles. However, that being said, I have twins, and having to clean the bottles first, THEN sterilize them became a huge hassle. I ended up ordering the dishwasher baskets and cutting down on my time at the sink... and the bottles still get sterilized.

Tongs melted, but other than that...
Overall, this sterilizer seems to work pretty well. Packing everything in is a little tricky, but not rocket science (and if the unit was any larger it probably wouldn't fit in our microwave). My one complaint was that the tongs that came with the unit actually melted a bit because I tried to sterilize them. It doesn't make much sense to pick up sterilized bottle parts with non-sterile tongs, so I figured the tongs were designed to be heat resistant, and I'd actually sterilized them a few times before and they came out fine, so I don't know why they got mangled that last time.

Also, as with any steam or heat based sterilizer, you need to be careful about what you put in the unit. We've had a few random baby items melt (a rattle from Sassy and a Soothie pacifier holder come to mind). I can't blame the sterilizer for this problem, though. I wish baby product manufacturers would clearly label whether things are safe for this sort of sterilization. Glass and silicone are always fine, but plastics are iffy -- plastic bottle parts are fine, but plastic toys are often not.
