Description of Philips Avent Electric Steam Sterilizer
The handy Avent Express 6 Bottle Steam Sterilizer is a safe, simple method for sterilizing all feeding accessories in eight minutes. Simply add 90 ml of water and switch on. The sterilizer will shut off automatically when the cycle is finished. The unit will hold six Avent bottles with nipples, screw caps and dome caps. It has also been designed to accommodate the Avent Isis Breast Pump. The rack transforms into a useful basket that can securely hold small feeding equipment in the dishwasher.For parents of one or more bottle-fed babies, the Express Steam Sterilizer is a real time-saver. Three ounces (90 milliliters) of water and a standard household electrical outlet (three-prong) are all you need to operate this self-contained, all-plastic unit. Measuring 12 inches high, you can fit up to six 9-ounce Avent bottles and a complete Isis manual breast pump into the sterilizer at the same time. Fitting the breast pump and all of the bottles, nipples, and sealing caps into the sterilizer takes a little practice and you will probably have to follow the illustrated instructions to load everything in correctly the first time. But once you get the swing of it, it is relatively easy to stack all the components properly and fit them into the sterilizer. After it has been loaded it takes just eight minutes to run the sterilizing cycle--with an additional cool-down time of three minutes. All of the unit's internal stacking baskets can be run through the dishwasher for periodic cleaning. Includes two 9-ounce Avent bottles. --Chris Burns

Customer Review: This makes bottle cleaning so much easier!
Summary: 5 Stars
With my first baby, I did not bother to purchase a sterilizer because I planned on breastfeeding mostly and did not think it would be worth the money to invest in a sterilizer. I thought I'd just use the big pot on the stove and boil all my bottle and breastpump parts when necessary. And that's just what I did. I saved my money. . . BUT let me just say, I melted numerous pacifiers, bottle parts, and got sick of having to worry about all the bottle/pump parts burning up or always getting them out of the pot and drying them on a clean towel on the countertop. (I pumped often to build up a good frozen supply of milk, so my pump parts were always in need of washing it seemed.) My countertop looked like a bottle factory ALL the time.So with Baby #2, I decided to make the investment in this sterilizer. It has been absolutely wonderful! It saves time (no worrying about the pot on the stove burning up parts and bottles - I can leave the parts in the sterilizer for quite a bit of time before I have to worry about removing them) and space (my countertop stays neat).
Certainly, you ought to at least wash your bottle and pump parts in sudsy water/rinse them clean before you put them in the sterilizer. But if you're going to sterilize, you might as well get this one. It's worth the money.
My sister melted (literally melted and evaporated) 3 bottles and their counterparts while sterilizing them on the stove top recently. . . She had fallen asleep while her infant was napping (new parents can be so tired). Let's just say, she went out immediately after that incident and purchased this sterilizer and loves it.
Personally, I think this sterilizer gives me less details to worry about when I already have so many little things to worry with.
I love it and recommend it. (I do use Avent bottles and Pump-In-Style pump parts. I've also sterilized sippy cups for my two year old in this!)
