Baby Products Reviews of Philips Avent Express Microwave Sterilizer
Customer Review: I am happy with this product
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a first-time mom -have a precious baby girl who is 3 months old now. From day one I've been using the Avent Express II Steam Sterilizer which is similar to the Philips Avent Express but it is bigger; and I am very happy with my purchase. I use it to sterilize not only bottles, nipples, pacifiers, etc., but also for my breast-pump items and it works very good. It is easy to use, clean, not heavy, it does the job real quick and only uses 200 ml of water to steam sterilize things. As other reviewers have pointed out, I have also read that as long as the baby is full term it is not necessary to sterilize bottles etc- the dishwasher does the job. However, if you are a working mom -as I am, with little time to cook and are not using the dishwasher frequently, It is faster and cheaper to use the Avent Sterilizer than the dishwasher -you save money on energy, water and also save time.Customer Review: Great for babies with thrush
Summary: 5 Stars
This sterilizer is great...not too big but definitely not too small. It holds (4) 4 oz. bottles or (4) 9 oz. bottles. Not to mention there are great little grooves so that you know everything is in there the right way. It is also great for the Isis breast pump parts. I used it daily while my baby was nursing and even now that she is 7 months old. We had a pretty bad case of thrush which the Dr. said was most likely coming from the pumped bottles I was doing for her. The dishwasher was not cutting it obviously when it came to sterilizing for my baby. We bought this steam sterilizer and within a matter of 2-3 days the thrush was completely gone and never came back. I highly recommend it. Although I don't find it completely necessary for it to include the (2) 9 oz. bottles with it...seeing as if you are using this you most likely already have bottles. GREAT STERILIZER!!!!Customer Review: Very handy porta-breast
Summary: 4 Stars
My mom is breast-feeding my baby sister, Juliette. We travel a lot and it was hard to travel with a two-month-old infant who is constantly crying and sometimes demands frequent feedings. My dad suggested switching to bottle-feeding, since it would be more portable and mom wouldn't have to unbuckle her seat belt and get into the back to nurse Juliette which caused traffic. But mom didn't want to, because she has heard that bottle-fed babies tend to weigh more and have more food allergies. Mom got smart and bought this cone-shaped pump and set of two small bottles to pump breast formula into the bottles. Now, mom pumps the milk into the bottle and passes the bottle to me. I give Juliette her bottle and she drinks. Now we don't get into traffic and Juliette still gets the nutrition she needs and also, bottle nipples tend to help her through the teething and sucking phase.Customer Review: Useful product
Summary: 5 Stars
I was told that I could wash our baby bottles in our dishwasher and I would not need a sterilizer. BUT we live in post housing on an Army base and our dishwasher is awful and hardly gets anything clean. So I handwash all my bottles and bought this as an extra step to help me get them clean enough for my child.
I really like this product a lot. It is very easy to use and since I am using Avent products and an Avent manual pump, everything fits great in this sterilizer. I can even pop pacifiers in there when they fall on the floor. There are slots for basically everything and it all stays put when I am moving it around.
I know that it isn't really necessary, but I like using it for that extra peace of mind that my baby is getting CLEAN bottles. Every parent has different 'must haves' when they have babies and this is one of mine! :)
Customer Review: A Must-Have for Bottles & Binkies
Summary: 4 Stars
I would put this on a must-have list for new parents. I gave the sterilizer 4 instead of 5 stars because of the price. $30 seems a lot to pay for essentially a plastic bowl with a lid. But I suppose I've gotten my money's worth, because I still use it several times a day to sanitize breast pump parts, bottles, nipples, and pacifiers. I'm not a germaphobe, but I get peace of mind knowing that the nipples and pacifiers I'm putting into my infant's mouth have been sanitized. It's especially good for pacifiers, which are always getting dropped on the floor - you don't have to wait until you run your dishwasher, you can always pop the sterilizer in the microwave on a moment's notice. Just be careful and make sure the items you plan to sanitize can withstand the heat - for example, some pacifier cases are meant to be sanitized but others will melt in the steam.
