Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
New mums and dads have enough to think about, so we've made our new electronic steriliser as easy as 1,2,3
It holds up to 6 bottles with accessories and features a 5 minute cycle time to sterilise your baby's feeding equipment extra quickly yet just as effectively. The clear digital display shows you exactly which stage the process is at and, if you leave the unit closed, counts down from 3 hours to let you know how long the bottles will remain sterile
It holds up to 6 bottles with accessories and features a 5 minute cycle time to sterilise your baby's feeding equipment extra quickly yet just as effectively. The clear digital display shows you exactly which stage the process is at and, if you leave the unit closed, counts down from 3 hours to let you know how long the bottles will remain sterile
The clever space-saving shape and flat back means it can be tucked out of the way on the kitchen worktop.The hinged lid has been specially designed so condensation runs back inside the unit when opened and, for extra safety, it's lockable to keep out prying fingers. On top of all of this, it features a detachable sterile work surface to ensure your bottles remain sterile while you prepare baby's feed.
It's also easy to take apart for cleaning and descaling. To help you get going, our electronic steriliser comes with a starter kit (worth over £16) including three Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature(TM) bottles, Easiflow Bottle to Cup and bottle brush.

I've used this product for approx 3 months and found it simple and practical - my observations good and bad as follows:
Good Points:
Displays starts up HEAT, STEAM, COOL AND 3,2,1 HOUR COUNT DOWN.
There are 6 grooves in base to hold 6 normal size bottles, with teats and room for dummys in tray compartment at top.
Easy to set up pour 80 mls appox of water in base and press "go" - steamer is ready within 5 mins
Keeps bottles sterilised for 3 hours and has a countdown 3,2,1 digital display.
Very quick and effective.
No chemicals
Bad Points:
Doesnt hold the 6 closer to nature "Fat Style" bottles as pictured in the base unit - 3 bottles comfortable 4 is a push which I found strange considering advertisement makes you think it can. This is due to its tear shaped design. But it will hold 6 avent bottles or similar type easily.
(But never-the-less unit is so quick to use its a major/ minor problem depending on how your days been with baby.. )
Takes 5 mins from start to finish but if you need a bottle quickly the unit is extremely hot especially when opening the lid and it cleans bottles by way of steam.
Ive put dummys in to be sterilised and took out within the first half hour and too hot to give to a baby, can be a similar problem with bottle teats so you need to think about timing.
Overall I rate this product and only major design fault I could see was it didnt hold 6 closer to nature bottles.

I would say there are equally good and bad points about this product.
Good points:
- It comes with a starter kit!
- The unit is easy to assemble and clean
- Preparation surface tray when making up feeds
- Unit is compact and doesn't take up much space
- Simply pour measured amount of water into the steriliser base and press the start switch to progress through a sterilisation cycle
- Easy to understand display:
H for Heating up
S for Sterilising
C for Cooling
3, 2, 1 countdown every hour
0 and the contents need to be re-sterilised
Bad points:
- The base of the steriliser can get dirty quite quickly leaving a brown deposit. Maybe thats normal and shows the steriliser in action. Or maybe it's due to the hardness of the water used. So maybe not all people will experience this due to the area you live in.
- Even though after "cooling" and the unit counts down from "3" the contents are very hot when the unit is opened straight away. So timing is important and I would recommend the use of tongs. It's a shame the unit doesn't come with one.
- The unit will fit the fat style Tommee Tippee bottles. It will fit upto 6 large ones with tactful packing and maybe even more if you slightly stack/wedge them in between eachother. You could also fit the smaller bottles or other bits and pieces in the unit. The unit came with a "Central stem" which I didn't assemble because I found no use for it. It just "got in the way" and made less room in the unit. The confusing thing is, is that the instructions tell you to place the screw rings on the central stem for sterilisation but then it contradicts itself by stating that the Tommee Tippee teat and screw ring have been designed to be placed in the steriliser fully assembled. Do you see what I'm getting at? So I didn't assemble the Central stem. I personally place my teats and screw rings fully assembled on the top surface tray.
- If you want to sterlise the contents again before the countdown reaches zero you have to disconnect at the mains and plug it in again because pressing the start switch won't work. I don't know why they designed the product like that.
I can't think of any more points to add but in all I still think it's a good steriliser and a bargain buy at £25.00. I hope this review has been helpful and sorry it was a long one!

I bought this steriliser to use with Tommy Tippee bottles - then changed my mind about the bottles and used it with Bornfree bottles. I have found it to be highly effective. Every steriliser has a limit on what it will hold but this one has proven more than sufficient for my needs. It takes a little more than 5 minutes to complete a cycle; 5 minutes is the sterilising time, but in addition it heats up and cools. Saying that it 'cools' is a bit of a misnomer - open the steriliser after the cooling period is over and you will find everything far to hot to use. Timing is therefore essential. From my perspective this is a minor issue. The steriliser is compact and does the job - which is what I needed from a steriliser!
