Baby Products Reviews of Philips Avent iQ Bottle Warmer
Customer Review: The Best Bottle Warmer EVER!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This bottle warmer is the perfect fit for our needs. It warms a bottle from room temperature in literally about 1 minute from power on. It has specific settings for warming up from room temperature, refrigerated, and frozen. And it is smart enough to know how long it needs to warm based on the amount of liquid in the bottle.
It also is very small and portable. It is small enough to easily fit on the counter in a little space. Also, it only uses 1 ounce (a shot) of water to run the warming process.
This warmer is much more convenient and FASTER than having to heat water either on the stove or in the microwave. Don't waste your time with that nonsense and use this product. You will not regret the expense.
This product also warms baby food, but as my daughter is just 5 weeks old, we have not used that feature yet.
I HIGHLY recommend this product!!
Customer Review: Undependable and frustrating to use
Summary: 2 Stars
I was optimistic when I purchased this bottle warmer. At first, it seemed frustrating to use, but I kept trying. The buttons on the front took some time to figure out - not user friendly enough where you could have someone use the warmer without instructions, which I found absurd for a seemingly simple appliance item. Once I read the instructions and learned what the symbols meant, it was equally difficult to get it to work. Once I DID get it to work (be sure to snap close and add the proper amounts of water - this varies depending on the day) the warmer would then just go on the fritz and stop working. I am so aggravated with it, I want to just toss the whole thing and buy a different warmer. Warming baby bottles shouldn't be such a frustrating task when you're in the midst of taking care of your infant and thinking about other more important things. Do yourself a favor and avoid this warmer.Customer Review: Good Utility but pricy.
Summary: 4 Stars
The salient points are -
1.) This is a product of good utility as it is automatic.
2.) It checks for input temperature and the MAGIC lies in that you just set the options and leave, before the appliance tells you that the job is done.
3.) You can use the options intelligently to adjust the final temperature you want. For e.g. If you want it warmer, just set the volume of the fluid setting higher than the actual amount so the warmer heats a little more. This feature is especially useful to warm different kinds of foods at different temperatures.
4.) There is still one thing that needs to be done almost every time, which is to fill the warmer with water according the quantity of food be heated. 30ml water per oz of food. This is because the food is steam heated.
5.) It is pricy at 59. Ideally it is worth only 30 but still a good utility product.
Customer Review: Works great, best
Summary: 5 Stars
This warmer works great once we figured out how it works. We use Dr. Brown bottles, and we have no problem getting them to the right temperature.
There is a button for whether it is from the fridge, freezer, or room, and one to choose the amount that is in the bottle.
We found that it warms up the milk to warmer than room temperature, which was good, since we didn't want something scalding.
If you don't take the bottle out as soon as it beeps, then the bottle will of course keep heating, so make sure that you check the heat once you remove it. If you find that the immediate removal has the bottle too cool, leave it in until you hear the second beep, etc.
Very very handy, and quite fast-within 4 minutes, maybe faster. Easy to use-just keep the water level right.
Too bad our kid now prefers milk from the fridge unwarmed.
Customer Review: Not best option if you use Dr. Browns bottle
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this warmer with high expectations based upon available reviews, but we did not have the best experience so far.
Since we are using Dr. Brown's feeding bottle, the warmer does not heat it to the right temperature when following the instructions. Thus we end up heating the bottle twice every time.
I experimented with the Avent bottle that came with the warmer to heat the milk, and it seems the warmer worked okay. So apparently the warmer was not designed for bottles of other brands.
One more thing that I found is that the warmer is not so "smart" and does not keep checking the bottle temperature during heating, which was what I expected with the higher price we paid. Personally i feel it's just a simple steamer.
Think twice before you buy if you want to use feeding bottles of other brands.
