Philips Baby Bottle Sterilizer SCF291/01

Love this steriliser, works perfectly and so quickly, great size for both the bottles and accessories and is easy to use and clean. A lot of people in the reviews complain about the scaling in the bottom but first of all, use filtered water! Secondly its going to scale up regardless just like your kettle does, its going to need descaling every so often as expected! More frequently so if you use tap water of course… great value for money especially if you purchase from your baby wishlist with added discount! Highly recommend

I'm very happy with this product. I've been using it for seven months and haven't had any problems with it. It's very easy to use and quiet, runs in 10 minutes, and my bottles are ready. The only problem is that it does get limescale, even though I use filtered water, but that's probably due to hard water. A quick wipe is all it takes, and it's nice and clean again.

I bought this to replace a Tommee Tippee steam steriliser which had decided to warp and had therefore become unsafe in my opinion. This is an expensive steam steriliser, but you get what you pay for (although you could plump for the older style AVENT steam steriliser which would still be as effective, although not as compact). The '3-in-1' refers to the ability to stack the 2 baskets singly or together - the smaller basket is intended to be used for teats, dummies/pacifiers, and breast pump parts, whilst the larger basket accommodates deeper items such as 6 bottles. Although the advertised product has a clear plastic small basket and lid, the product I received has a translucent plastic small basket and lid (you definitely cannot see through these!) There is a single switch to turn the steam steriliser on - you know that the unit is activated by a small orange indicator light (you cannot use this switch to turn the unit off, however). All that you need to do is pour 100ml of water into the reservoir in the base unit, press the switch, and the sterilisation process takes 6 minutes, plus 3 minutes to allow for cool-down (sterilised parts are very hot!) It is very easy to dismantle and clean this steriliser (the reservoir can be descaled with a mix of water and white vinegar), and the whole unit is nice and compact so doesn't take up too much workspace in the kitchen. You can fit 6 AVENT bottles easily in this unit, although it will accommodate other brands of bottle (e.g. Tommee Tippee 'Closer to Nature').

It takes just 6 bottles at a time. Easy to use and clean. The bottles remain wet until you get them out to clean. I wish it dried the bottles after sterilizing but it works fine.

We had the avent microwave steam steriliser for 2 and a half years for 3 of my babies, Which was Fab! Our microwave went bust and we brought a new one however the micro steriliser did not fit in our new Microwave, so decided to invest in an electrical one, as our 3rd was still 7months old. And have our forth baby on the way so why not. Anyway this is what we chose, we didnt want any other brand as we have always stuck to Avent for bottles, teats, sippycups and steriliser. We are very happy with this its so straight foward and easy to use. I've read on other reviews some limescale has been building up. However we have not yet experienced this and it's been 4 weeks I think the trick is to let it air dry or wipe it down after every use and most importantly to keep it clean! It dose take longer to sterilise the bottles i'd say about 8-10 mins more than a microwave one as that only takes 2 mins, but hey as long as it dose the job. Plenty of space in thier for dummy spoons and bowls I find. Good product. Would definitely recommend.

We started off as new parents with a cold water sterilser. Whilst this was ok, having the time to change (and remember to change!!!) it each morning was a nightmare!! We read lots of reviews etc and settled on this one. Brilliant! So easy to set up and use. It takes 10 minutes to steam/sterilse. Then it needs to be left for about 10 minutes before the things are cool enough to touch. The items stay sterile in the unit for 24 hours if the lid is not removed so we put the teats inside the bottle, cap them, then store them in sealed click and save tubs to keep them sterile - this works for us. The hot plate needs to be cleaned regularly with white vinegar and water to keep clean (rinse well as the bottles will smell of vinegar on next sterilsation). We have used filtered water for steaming - we thought this may help the hot plate not limescale up so much. Haven't used normal tap water to compare so not sure if we are making a difference!! The hot plate does seem to be rusting a bit - not sure if this matters or not! However - I would still highly recommend this product.

Absolutely garbage! Do not buy. Requires constant descaling and at times doesn't heat up items in the top basket. Avoid!

This product can be good present to give it to new parents or soon to be parents. Easy to use and clean. Very safe and keeps our baby safe and healthy

Very useful and good quality, using that for the last 7 months

A must have for all working moms especially wen u use breast pumps and feeding bottles - this is d best and easiest way to sterilize them..not to forget the feeding bowls and spoons wen u wean d children. Sterilizes in 6 to 10 minutes. Cleaning and maintenance is very easy.(vinegar +water) Saves a lot of time and energy.can sterilize and use it later provided the unit is left closed till use(unlike boiling where u hav to sterilize immediately before use). Videos are available in youtube where u can watch how to use this.new moms watch them and get mesmerized. I should say this is a boon for working moms. Very good quality too. I hav been using it since the 5th month of my baby.now he is 15 months..the product is easily portable and definitely adorable. The only shortcoming is the length of the cord which is too small.i hav been using an extension box & hence it was overcome too. U can go for it blindly.

Très content de mon achat. Très bonne qualité. Fonction très bien, et rapide. Comme d'habitude la marque Philips est au rendez-vous.
