Feeds are heated evenly without hot spots. Automatic shut-off means that there is no risk of overheating.Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT iQ Bottle Warmer
Customer Review: Poorly Designed
Summary: 1 Stars
We got this warmer as many of our other baby products were Avent and we liked how those worked. Unfortunately, this warmer seems to have been designed by people without kids.
While the buttons are easy to understand they're not easy to use. Just to turn the unit on you need to hold a soft button for three seconds. You then select your bottle size and whether the bottle is cold, frozen or room temperature. Finally you need to engage the warmer holding a different button for another 3 seconds.
None of this is rocket science, but just imagine doing this unnecessarily long sequence when holding a crying baby - the unit is light and has recessed plastic-covered buttons that really require you to be eye level with the unit when turning it on.
So despite the unit theoretically being able to get the bottle warm in just 2 or 3 minutes, at this point your baby is screaming under one arm as you are squatting down to be eye level with the unit on the counter while trying to hold various buttons for 3 seconds.
To top this off it doesn't get the bottle warm using the scale on the warmer- selecting 2oz for a 2oz bottle will just result in a cold bottle. You have to do some mental math to figure out how to re-adjust the scale on the spot.
Finally, if the lid isn't on just right, the unit won't activate. So as your baby is now flipping out the warmer won't work despite the unit appearing to be fine.
Technically, it works. In practical terms running a bottle under hot water would be simpler, cheaper and faster.
