Baby Products Reviews of Philips Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer
Customer Review: I love my avent express bottle & babyfood warmer!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I absolutely love my avent bottle & babyfood warmer.I received this warmer as a gift from my registry and I can not live without it.My son is now 8 months old and I have been using it since he was a newborn.I set in his 9oz. avent bottle for 6 minutes and it is ready.I have had no problem with it,this has kept my baby happy and fed in perfect time.For those parents who complained about this product,I think that you should learn how to use it the proper way.It is called the EXPRESS bottle warmer which means that it warms up the bottle in less than 6 minutes.You may be leaving it on there longer and you yourself are burning the bottle.You also are feeding your baby way too late if he/she is crying hysterical.
I think this is worth every penny.I love it!I also have to compliment all of the other Avent products,avent bottles are simply the best,I have had my 8 month old son on avent bottles since day 1 of his birth and he has had no gas problems,no ear infections.Thanks to avent products!!!I support avent products to the fullest!
Customer Review: At 3am, remembering is hard

When your infant is crying because he's hungry and you're only thinking about how you want to be back in bed, you will not necessarily hear the very quiet "click" another reviewer mentioned unless you are right on top of this unit. Did it already cycle through once? Twice? I don't know. I never could catch it since it was in my kitchen and I was usually trying to soothe my child in the living room when the light went out. Yes, it was in plain sight, but that doesnt mean I caught it at the right time.
What I do know is that leaving the bottle in there, reagrdless of it being 4oz. or 8oz., makes the formula very HOT. Even if you have it on the proper setting according to the instructions. Then you have to wait for it to cool down before feeding your now screaming hungry baby.
This went in the trash. The only reason I gave it two stars is because it did heat the bottle faster than if I waited for water to boil. Otherwise, I just started giving my son formula made with room temperature water and had not one problem.
Customer Review: Overpriced Inconvenience
Summary: 2 Stars
I just bought this and I plan to return it. I thought it somehow miraculously heated your bottle by just having you plop your bottle in and voila, it would be ready to go 4 minutes later. Plus, I thought that it could be used to warm my baby's food in the future. Well, it does warm up both the bottle and food, but first you have to add water...but it has to be a specific amount of water and if you add to much or too little everything can get thrown off. What a pain!! Also, if you warm up a small jar of food you may get scalded when reaching in to grab it. The instruction manual suggests that you put something under the jar to prevent this. For [the price], I thought this thing was supposed to be make life much easier! After reading the manual, I've decided that it's basically an extremely overpriced water boiler. For convenience, I suggest moms just boil water once a day and put it in a thermos. This way, you can just pour it in a bowl and use it to heat bottles or food whenever needed and save yourself a whole bunch of $$$.Customer Review: dangerous product
Summary: 1 Stars
i use all of avent's products and would rate all of them highly with the exception of this product. i agree with the other moms about the lack of an auto-off feature, the confusing light that tells you when the bottle is done but quickly goes off and continues to heat the bottle if you do not watch it closely, etc. But what i found most dangerous is this: when most of us are going to get the bottle out of the warmer, we are busy and carrying the baby with us. this warmer creates a slick of moisture from the steam and water on the outside, and (god forbid) if it slips from your hands it splashes back into the hot water, sending the hot water all over the counter and possibly at you and the baby. The part that confuses me most is that we then bought a more inexpensive version from babies r us under "the first years" brand, and it is great- has all the safety features you would want, less confusing with the water measurement, and the water you put in completely evaporates when the bottle is ready. much better product for less.Customer Review: Not worth the extra money
Summary: 1 Stars
I chose this warmer because I was using the Avent bottle system and thought it would be designed the best to warm my bottles. The only good thing I can say about this warmer is it is consistent. It warms the bottle in the same amount of time each feeding, no surprise hot bottles. But the warmer doesn't have an on/off switch. Every time you warm the bottle you have to plug it in and remember to unplug it when you are done. This didn't seem like a pain the first week. But when you have a crying squirming baby and you have to reach across the counter to jerk the cord out of the wall everytime it gets to be big deal. The second disappointment was that it was more expensive than all the other warmers and there doesn't seem to be anything special about it. It lacks features the others have like auto-shut off and a chiller/cooler. Now my baby sleeps through the night but if I had to do it over again I would have bought the Dusk to Dawn bottle warmer. It would have made 2am feedings a little more bearable.
