Baby Products Reviews of The First Years Microwave Sterilizer
Customer Review: easy and quick!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was online looking for a sterilizer to use to clean nebulizer (inhalation machine) accessories, not bottles. In Germany where I live, I had never seen a sterilizer for the microwave. This one seemed the best, and after buying it it is indeed very spacious and not just set up for bottles, which it surely does like magic, but because it is open and not full of holders (they are removeable) I could lay even toys in it to sterlize if I want. And because it is for the microwave, I can take it back to Germany with me! (where the electicity is different than in the USA, which is why I couldn't bring my plug-in unit from Germany to the USA in the first place.) I like the lid and the drying tray too. I just lay the lid upside down and swap the drying tray into the lid, then take the base and dump the extra water out in the sink. Nothing has to touch the counter!Customer Review: Easy. Effective. Inexpensive. Can't believe I waited.

Initially, I thought I'd just boil my baby's bottles to sterilize them, but that took much longer than I thought and occupied way too much constant real estate in our already cramped kitchen. This bottle sterilizer holds the components for 4 bottles easily. It's easy to load and unload. The little sensor sticker increases newbie confidence that the bottles have been sterilized... though now, i just routinely put it in the microwave for 5 minutes... the bottles get plenty hot and steamy. And, my baby has not had any trouble with thrush since we've had this. This is a "if i had known then what i know now" sort of item. If you're pregnant, get this inexpensive little bottle sterilizer. It's more than worth it, and it's a "need" and not a "want."Customer Review: Love it! Would buy again

I LOVE this thing! It holds a lot more than you'd think & whether your bottle feeding or breast feeding, you need to constantly sterilize something. This is so much easier than running the dishwasher. I bottlefed & after each feeding I'd wash the bottles out then put them in this - once it was full, it takes 5 mins & everything is squeaky-clean! Takes up about the same amount of space on your counter as a large toaster & totally worth it. In addition to bottles & all the accessories, we used this to sterilize pacifiers, teething rings and almost anything plastic that my son was putting in his mouth. It worked out great & I would buy again & againCustomer Review: So much better than boiling

Before I got this, I spent about a month boiling bottles to sanitize them (no dishwasher) but this made it so much easier. I had a fairly.. eclectic collection of bottles, First Years (soothies), Avents, Gerbers, and Nuks, but any 3-4 will fit in the basket at one time, with slightly different arrangements sometimes though. The sort of hooks on the bottom of the basket will fit all the kinds of bottles I tried at least, but the Gerbers I had to push down a bit. I've wished there were a bit more space, but for being able to fit in most sizes of microwaves and having things ready to use in less than 10 minutes, it does well.Customer Review: Excellent!

If you will be pumping at all, this is a must. It is large and will hold everything from a pumping session (plus bottles/nipples/pacifiers). You can use a dishwasher to sterilize, but that seems wasteful to me to run a dishwasher just to sterilize when a 5 minute run in the microwave with only a few ounces of water will do it. No need to get a unit that is more expensive. I'm not sure about this unit fitting larger bottles, you may have to use First Years bottle for it to work. There are cut outs on the bottom of the sterilizer tray for longer bottles, but if you are using a different brand than the cuts may not fit.
