However it’s too hot to touch at the beginning. Have to be careful when taking it out from the microwave. In my microwave it takes 4 minutes.

You can even clean it daily using the dishwasher or simply hand wash with soap and hot water. I love this product and one of the best.","reviewer_name":"VAR2017UK"},{"date":"12/13/2016","title":"Easy to use, great for travelling","rating":4,"content":"I was surprised at how easy this machine is to use. I have previously been using an electric model by a different brand, and whilst I loved it, there are a few features this model has over the electric which I found to be a real benefit.\n\nI liked the fact that the sterilise time is only 4 minutes (varies +/- 2 mins depending on microwave power). It's also very simple to use, only needing to add water alongside the bottles and then pop into the microwave. So eliminating the need to select appropriate sterilising cycles or complicated options.\n\nA few other positives are that it is great for travelling - So as long as wherever you're going has a microwave, you can easily sterilise your baby's bottles and other small items as needed. It's very easy to clean, with only three pieces, and no wires to try and work around when washing.\n\nOne negative I did find however was that the machine is clearly made to only fit Avent bottles. Which OK I get that it's an Avent product, but my other branded model is compatible with any type of bottle, so I could easily alternate between a couple of different cups and bottles we have in the house without needing to worry about whether they'd fit in the steriliser. With this model, of the four different non-Avent bottles I have at home, only one style fit inside well - All others were either too tall or they fell over when trying to move it to the microwave as they don't balance well inside the unit. There is a small circle lip meant for the bottles to sit in, which allows Avent bottles to be supported standing up - But non-Avent models are either too big or too small for this lip, and therefore are unbalanced whilst inside the unit. This meant that I could only sterilise two or three bottles at a time. Whereas my electric model could sterilise 6 bottles plus additional bits such as dummies and medicine spoons.\n\nFinally, I found that whilst the unit fit fine in my family sized microwave, it did not fit in my parents smaller microwave. And therefore couldn't be used. So you do need to have a large microwave in order to fit this in due to the height.\n\nIn summary, a good model for everyday use. Easy to clean, and great for travelling. But possibly not suitable if you're using non-Avent bottles, or have a small microwave at home.","reviewer_name":"adventuresofmummyandme"},{"date":"8/7/2013","title":"Great sterilizer","rating":4,"content":"I've used this sterilizer with both of my kids.
