Works fine for us
Microwave Steam SCF282/01Simple 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.
Great product
Microwave Steam SCF282/01Got 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 detailsSuper easy to use
Microwave Steam SCF271/06The 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.

I love it
Microwave Steam SCF271/06I am a father of two boys my youngest is on bottle milk so i needed a steamer after purchasing this particular steamer my life is much more easy I don’t have to warm up milk odd hours of the night and my wife is not yelling at me for not getting up to warm my babies formula I simply love this multitasking steamer my wife loves it too now life is much more easy thanks.
Absolutely fab product! Best steriliser used for both of my girls!
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Easy 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
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Great 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
Easy and efficient
Microwave Steam SCF271/06I 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.
Easy to use
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Very 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

Easy to use, fits multiple brands of bottle
Microwave Steam SCF271/06One 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
GREAT PRODUCT
Microwave Steam SCF271/06I 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
Very easy to use
Microwave Steam SCF271/06We 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 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.
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Pretty 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!
Good sterilizer product
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Easy 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..
Easy to use
Microwave Steam SCF271/06Very 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

I’ve had mine for 4.5 years and it’s still going strong ☺️
Hi!
Can I use melamine dishware in the Avent microwave steriliser please?
Hi Iva, thank you for your question. It would be best to avoid placing melamine dishware into the microwave sterilizer as they are not microwave safe. The dishware could crack or become brown. Hope this answer your question!

Thank you for the answer.
One more question: I accidentally put a plastic teether along with a plastic baby bootle, a silicone teat and melamine dishware to the Avent microwave sterilizer WITHOUT adding water and let it run for 2 minutes. The melamine got brown spots (I won't use it anymore). And on the other things there is no visual damage. Is it safe to use these please?
Hello. Pls I recently bought a Philips 3 in one steriliser and just realized the lid is missing. The store has refused to take responsibility for it because it's been months since I purchased it and I wasn't aware of the problem till now. What can I use as a substitute for the lid please
Hi there, Vovwe.
Thank you for reaching out to us this way! We are sorry to hear that the lid was not included in the box, this should of course not be the case. We would like to solve this with you, could you please reach out to us via the below details? Furthermore, could you keep your product details (imprinted on your steriliser) and proof of purchase nearby, in case we need more information? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response. However, sadly I bought the steriliser in Nigeria. That is where I reside. I was just wondering what I could use as a substitute, as in what would be safe? Glass? Plastic?
Hi Vovwe, in that case we recommend contacting us via our social media channels or via the support contact in Nigeria. Hope that works out!
Kind regards,
