Baby Products Reviews of Philips Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer
Customer Review: Nice Product
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading some of the reviews I felt compelled to share my experience with this product. I love it! I'm not sure if they made a different model before, but mine has an on/off switch that works just fine (its on the back). Its not rocket science if you follow the directions. I never have problems with the bottle floating. If you put the bottle in first and then fill the warmer with water like the directions tell you to, then the bottle won't float. The warmer itself has a chart on it that tells you how long to leave the bottle in the warmer and at what setting. It also has a light that flashes on and off when the warmer has reached a constant temperature. There are no "dings" or timers, but that hasn't presented any problems for me. Overall this product does what it is supposed to do and it does it well. As a first time mom, I highly recommend it.Customer Review: Great Warmer

This is a great warmer! Keep in mind with any warmer, you have to keep an eye on it. We used it primarily to heat breast milk. It's great because you can adjust the heat and it's CONSISTENT. When you first get it, set the dial in the middle, put a bottle of refrigerated milk in it and then keep testing it at 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc. until you know how long it takes at a dial setting to heat the milk to the temperature you want. If you know you want more time to let the bottle heat, turn it down and do the same test. Likewise for less time. We got it so we set the dial at a position and left it for 3-4 minutes and got exactly the temp we wanted. We used it for more than a year and the thing was consistent the whole time. It's espeially great because you can leave a nanny with instructions and feel more at ease that she'll get it right.Customer Review: not a warm review
Summary: 2 Stars
Of all the great products made by AVENT this one is the only one I dislike. I gave it a "2" because the unspecified water measuring for bottle warming lead to bottles floating and possible chamber overflowing (a messy cleanup for early a.m. feedings). It lacks an on/off switch and must be unplugged every time (which at 3 a.m. is not always easy to remember ),thus the placement of the unit must be near an easy to reach outlet. The warming time, according to manual, is not always correct and overheating is usually the result if you walk away. It does have a few good points : a) it accomendates AVENT bottles and not all bottle warmers do. b) cleaning the unit is EASY. c) allows warming of both reusable and disposable bottles. d) warm food, frozen breastmilk, or formula quickly. e) IT BETTER AND QUICKER THAN WARMING UNDER TAP WATER !!
Customer Review: Great in the middle of the night
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this bottle warmer. I always keep it on the higest setting and have never had a problem. When my baby starts to wake up in the middle of the night, I first run to the kitchen, start the bottle warming, and go back to change him. By the time I'm done and back to get the bottle (about 3-4 minutes), it's perfectly heated. I've never left it on too long with the bottle in it because with a hungry baby, the bottle is always on your mind. The only thing I have done is accidentally left it on after the bottle is done warming up and out of the warmer. All that happens is that the water gets evaporated and still stays on. That would be my only gripe about this item, there should be an automatic off in case you leave the warmer on for longer than 15 minutes. I'm overall very happy with this item, much easier than using hot tap water.Customer Review: Try a different bottle warmer before you buy this one

I bought this warmer because I have the Avent bottles, which I love. I thought that because the bottles were larger than normal, I'd have to buy the Avent warmer...NOT TRUE! I'm not sure about other models talked about in previous reviews, but there is an on/off switch on the back. Though this warmer does heat consistently, I hate using it. It does not have a timer like most warmers, so you have to constantly monitor the bottle and keep checking it to make sure the milk doesn't overheat. I find this difficult when you have a hungry baby on your hands. All the instructions have for warming times is a chart that can be difficult to decipher, at best.
TRY OTHER WARMERS BEFORE YOU BUY THIS ONE! (The First Years has a really good one that shuts off automatically when its done) I wish I knew then what I know now!
