Absolutely fab product! Best steriliser used for both of my girls! – Easy to use, lightweight. Spacious and such a time saver, so quickly sterilised. Can use one handed if need to, there has been many a time I’ve needed to load one handed and remove from microwave whilst holding my new born. There is excess water in the lid from steam that will transform when it is undone and taken off so just take care when putting the lid back on as there is risidual water which can drip everywhere if you forget.

Needs a safety review – Great and easy product. The main issue I have is the lack of safety when it comes to burns. There should be a handle on the lid for easy removal. I have burnt my fingers too many times from not removing the lid quick enough. How this was not considered during product development baffles me
Okay steam steriliser – We got it because we were given some avent bottles but we changed to pigeon after the speech pathologist told us that avent were the worse bottles because the teat is not natural for a baby. So we tried to use the microwave steriliser with the other bottles but they wouldn't take other bottles. But some other steam sterilisers do take other… Read more
bottles not just their own. Expensive purchase if you don't manage to find one on sale.
It also melted in the microwave on the bottom. cheap on sale. only fits that particular brand. And it melted on the bottom.
Very handy – This is a super easy and no fuss way to sterilise bottles, dummies etc. My mother in law has one and has proved to be of endless use and is so easy, quick and convenient to use. Life would be a lot harder without this product and I highly recommend it. So easy Because of size, you sometimes have to use a couple of times to get it all done.

Works fine for us – Simple to use product. It can fit 3 sets of bottles in it. 200ml of water and microwave for 4 minutes which makes it a lot easier and faster. Deducted one star as the bottom container starts to get a yellowish tint. Show reply
Great product – Got this sterilizer for my newborns bottles and I have to say I have no regrets. Works perfectly and infact I use it as storage for the bottles and pacifiers Show details · 1
Super easy to use – The steriliser is super easy to use, 200ml water and 2 minutes for my microwave (this will vary depending on watts). I’m glad I didn’t bother with an electric steriliser. It fits approx. 7 bottles? I started using Avent bottles but bub preferred tommee tippee and I have no issues with fitting them in. Super easy to clean and store as well. Show reply
Easy and efficient – I love my microwave steriliser for my little ones bottles. Just pop in 200ml water, all the teats, lids and bottles and 4 minutes in the microwave and your done! So much easier than others I have used. Easy to wash and wipe clean and store and it fits 4 of my bottles at a time. Show reply
Easy to use – Very easy to use and fits other branded bottles in it, would be nice to have a handle on the outside especiallly when ya have a baby in the other arm but thats just me being a little picky. Great purchase and will last a lifetime which is a bonus Recommended
Easy to use, fits multiple brands of bottle – One of the best baby purchases I made. Quick and easy to use (4 minutes in microwave), fits both Medela and Avent bottles as well as other items such as pacifiers . Saved me a lot of time , no need to boil bottles. Would buy again , good price Show reply
GREAT PRODUCT – I have had no problems with the microwave steraliser. Ive used it twice a day for 5 months and works perfectly. Hubby tends to overfill but seems to still work well. Fits 4 large avent bottles and accessories comfortably. Ive used it also for medela pumping equipment, pigeon bottles and now spoons and teething equipment. It was useful watching utube videos to see how to stack the microwave Highly recommend the microwave steraliser Show reply

Very easy to use – We got the microwave steriliser as part of an aven kit with bottles etc. We really love the microwave steriliser by Avent. Only takes 4 minutes in the microwave takes all the bottles dummies and breast pump. I put everything in even dummies and bottles from other brands have fitted in. I have used it according to instructions however the bottom… Read more · 1
has changed colours even though I wash it regularly. i have tried everything to get rid of the staining on the plastic but does not seem to go away. It only seem to be on the bottom otherwise we have been very happy with the steriliser.
Convenient and easy to use – Pretty happy with this sterilizer... We use medela bottles in it and they fit well but tend to fall over easily. Much better at space saving than an electric sterilizer & really simple to use... The only negative is if as a sleep deprived new mum/dad you forget to put water in it and you blow up the microwave :( we learnt that the hard way! Show reply
Good sterilizer product – Easy to use which comes with a thong inside, can fit non avent bottles. Love the lid and it's compact. Good product cos it's handy and convenient way to sterilise rather than boiling in water for 5 mins. Just find it a little bit difficult to arrange the large bottle but it's okay.. Show reply
Easy to use – Very easy to use. Fits a lot of different size and brands of bottles and feeding accessories into this steam steriliser. Very expensive compared to other brands which do the same. I bought this on special for $40 at target and would have bought a different brand if not on special. Fits lots of feeding accessories Expensive
Terrific Product – This is a terrific little steriliser that is no fuss and easy to use. (even my husband can use it without being confused) I rate this steriliser very highly, can fit a few bottles and in 4 minutes everything is sterile. Super basic and stops you from buying those awful bleach smelling tablets. I can get my bottles sterilised and a bottle to my… Read more · 1
babies mouth in 5 minutes. Definitely recommend. East to use, very simple instructions and fast sterilising Nothing. it's perfect.
Hassle free sterilizing – So easy to use and you are 100% sure your bottles are sterile. No need to boil and look at the clock. Just fill with water and bottles and leave it in microwave for 4 mins... Bottles stay sterile if sterilizer is unopened unlike when boiling them. It came with a bottle, a clip to put the teat together without having to touch it and an orthodontic dummy... Hassle free Show reply
Saves me sooo much work – Just had it delivered today, and I already used it twice! The simple steps to sterilize anything any time, just like loading a dishwasher, mean I will be able to stick to proper sterilisation and not skip it because of laziness or worries of boiling dry. I use no other avent products, but this is certainly a good buy! Makes sterilizing so fast and easy Show 3 replies
Best Steriliser! – When a friend came to visit & saw how long it was taking me to sterilise all my "stuff" she went out to get us lunch & returned with this: at first I was a little offended, now I LOVE her for it! This is fast & easy to use. (3min's & I'm done!) It does all my medela bottles & also the parts to the swing breast pump that I use. Recommed it to all!
Very easy to use – Very convenient and easy to use. I use it up to 7 times a day to sterilize my pump and Medela bottles. It take me 2 minutes to sterilize everything. It very easy to clean as well. I had an electric sterilize before and threw it away after a week. It was bulky and I had to clean it and dry after each use. I think the Philips one is a bit expensive… Read more
and I don't use bottle which was included. Now I have been using it for about two months and it looks like new. Convinient and easy to use Expensive, don't need Avent bottle

Perfect and convenient – It takes 8 minutes and your bottles are ready to go Fast and convienant No fussing with tablets and containers and we are all busy mums these days why wouldn't we want something to make our lives just that easy. Not very expensive and when you add up what you would spend in tablets works out cheaper in the long run Fast and eady
Super simple standard steriliser – This steriliser is made of sturdy plastic for the bottom, top and inner. Its very simple to use, just pour water in and put in the microwave. You do have to be careful when taking the steriliser out of the microwave though because it will be hot and the inside will be full of steam. Even though its avent brand we managed to use many size of… Read more
bottles inside it including mam and coles. Ours also came with a bottle, dummy and bottle brush, so it was a great starter kit. Plus when we had issues understanding some information and contacted philips someone called us right back with all the info we could need. I highly recommend this steriliser and company for their customer service. Easy to use, customer service
Great sterilizer – This is so easy to use! and a great combo with the avent bottles.. they fit perfectly and stays sterile , also comes with free bottles which is a bonus!.. after buying 3 other popular brands i finally bought this one and its amazing. will definately buy the same again and reccomend it to all my friends Compact, lid locks shut!
Very easy to use – This steriliser is so easy to use - the only design suggestion I would make is that they should have an line on the unit to show where to fill the water up to, because it is a pain to measure out 200ml each time you use it. I also think it is not worth the RRP and should be purchased when on sale. But otherwise I like that you sterilise it in the… Read more
microwave quickly and easily and then it remains sterilised for 12hours or more if you leave the lid on. Despite the cons, I would recommend this steriliser. Easy to use, quick to use Expensive
Very handy product – I was given the sterilizer as a gift and I'm so glad! It's so easy to use! Just pour in 200ml of water, place the bottles and teats in the marked spaces, clip on lid and 2min in the microwave and your done!! How easy could it be! I do a days worth of bottles each night, it takes very little time to wash, sterilize and fill bottles with pre boiled water! Quick and easy! Can be a little difficult to arrange bottles when using large sizes.
Waste of time and money – This takes up space, requires lots of cleaning, and I ended up boiling the bottles in a saucepan which Was far easier to clean. If you need to sterilize lots of bottles each day I would look at the electronic ones. Otherwise a large pot will be just as good, cheaper and eaier to clean. Brand name Required lots of cleaning otherwise a dirty residue would build up
Quick and easy, perfect for busy mums – We bought this as I didn't need another appliance sitting on my bench. It's quick (only 2 minutes in our microwave). It's easy to stack, but I do only use Avent bottles and teats. I do find it harder to stack the larger bottles in, bit of a balancing act even if you follow the manual sometimes they don't sit flush. No bad smells and just chuck it… Read more
on top rack of dishwasher once in a while to clean. Quick, inexpensive The measuring cup only goes to 120mls, yet you need 200mls for the sterilizer- frustrating!
So easy! – Could not live without this steriliser. I picked mine up second hand for about $20 dollars and it has been invaluable. As I've gone back to work and am having to express, I am constantly sterilising bottles and expressing equipment. This steriliser is so convenient and quick. Highly highly recommended if you are bottle feeding with either formula or expressed breast milk. Everything!
Excellent – Prior to using this sterilizer, I borrowed one from a girlfriend. Hers was a very cheap one. It did not have clips to secure lid, and was made of fairly flimsy plastic. It also took 7 minutes to sterilize. I then purchased the Avent Microwave Steam Steriliser, and after a few initial hiccups, I have never looked back. The problem I had at the… Read more
beginning was that the bottles I had did not fit properly in this sterilizer. My Medela 150ml bottles fit, but the Tommee Tippee do not fit well. I purchased some Avent bottles and was very satisfied with them. We have an 1100 watt microwave, so I sterilize my bottles in 2 minutes. It is fabulous. It is very sturdy plastic, and has clips to secure the lid to the base so that you never fear spilling steaming hot water on yourself. This is an excellent sterilizer and it was worth every cent! Sturdy, safety clips to secure lid, quick sterilising Some brands of bottles don’t fit.
Made my life so much easier! – Quick & Easy to use, made my life so much easier, i've heard of people boiling their bottles & dummies etc to sterilize them & I seriously think they must be crazy to waste so much time! I bought mine on sale at Toys R Us for $36! (so cheap considering they normally retail for around $70!) I'd suggest holding out for the sales, but definately a must have! Convenient & Quick to use
Absolute must have when baby is young – I absolutely love this steriliser, it is quick and easy to use and takes up very little space (no precious bench space!). I used it both for my breast pump accessories and for bottles. I only used Avent bottles but I did notice that it was not great for taller bottles from other companies. After washing the bottles, I would put them into the… Read more
steriliser, along with the water and into the microwave for four minutes. This product was so much easier to use than others and I just wish that I had bought it for my first child instead of my third (and yes, I sterilised bottles even for my third child). I also found it had good second hand value. Quick, easy, compact and easy to on-sell. Does not fit tall skinny bottles from other companies in as easily as fits Avent bottles.
Hassle free sterilising – Having breastfed bubs for 5 months, I haven't had to deal with bottles, teats and sterilising on a regular basis. I have on the odd occasion given a bottle and gone through the stove top boiling method, which I found a bit of a hassle, having to wait for the water to boil, time how long it's in there etc. Going back to work and looking at… Read more
expressing, I bought a breast pump and again was dreading having to sterilise frequently. So I thought I'd invest in this product. Should have done it sooner! Give all your items a quick wash, stack them in the steriliser, add water, and in the microwave it goes. Done in 2 minutes (though note this timing depends on your microwave wattage, up to 4 mins for a microwave with low wattage). I also like how the items stay sterile for up to 24 hours if you don't open the lid. You can sterilise to use later. quick, simple to use, takes the hassle out of sterilising
Best one - quicker, cheaper, easier to use – You just whack the thing in the microwave with a bit of water for 4 minutes and you're done. Brilliant! Doesn't take up bench space. Doesn't need to be warmed up and plugged into a powerpoint or take as long as most of the others. Sterilises just as effectively. Well worth it. Inexpensive, faster, easy
