Philips AVENT Fast Baby Bottle Warmer with Smart Temperature Control and Automatic Shut-Off, SCF358/00

Warm Milk at the Push of a Button
My youngest child is 7 weeks old and we are using this bottle warmer to reheat cold and/or frozen breastmilk multiple times a day. We’ve also used this warmer to warm cow’s milk and nutritional supplements for my oldest. I used a previous model (Philips Avent Fast Bottle Warmer, SCF355/00) for my first born and while I quite enjoyed that warmer, this one is far superior. The icons on this warmer are much easier to understand. I like that there are simple to read set points for milk volume instead of a sliding scale. I also love that I can set the bottle up a reasonable amount of time before a feeding and with the push of a button start the warming process. It takes only a few minutes to warm up a bottle of milk – the perfect amount of time to change a diaper before a middle of the night feeding. One tip: make sure you put cold water in the warmer, otherwise it won’t register the temperature of the milk and the bottle won’t heat up. I’ve made that mistake once or twice. My only complaint is that the cord could be a little longer. I find there’s only one location on my counter top that I can use it because the cord doesn’t reach to my second outlet but that’s a tiny complaint overall. I would recommend spending the few extra dollars on this warmer for any new parent that will be bottle feeding frequently.

Efficient Milk Warmer with Minor Hassle
I purchased this milk warmer for my newborn and have been using it daily to warm refrigerated breast milk and leftover formula milk to room temperature. It effectively does its job, ensuring that the milk is at the right temperature for my baby. However, one drawback is the need to fill the warmer with water based on the milk level each time. This can be a bit frustrating, especially when the baby is already crying for milk. Despite this minor inconvenience, the warmer’s performance makes it a valuable addition to our baby care routine.

Slow to warm
Takes about the same amount of time to warm milk as me just putting the bottle in some boiled water, and somehow does it worse. It’s way too cold. It’s slightly easier as I just push a button but simply takes way too long and the temperature is wrong. Takes at least 5 minutes to “warm” a small bottle of 60ml. Seems like it was a waste of money.

Great bottle and baby food warmer at a great price
I was selected to receive one of these bottle warmers to review and I am SO HAPPY about it, because it is awesome. I have another bottle warmer that came in a set of bottles and other bottle feeding necessities that I Recieved when I found out I would have to exclusively pump breastmilk for my baby. That warmer only had pow medium and high settings and no auto shut off feature, if I forgot to turn the dial, it would run all night.What I love about this advent warmer is..Power button : there is an on off power button and light indicator to show you how far into the warming the bottle is. It also will hold the heat of the bottle for an hour in the event you get distracted only remember it’s feeding time when the baby wakes up and screams, so you don’t need to throw away a bottle because it is still warm and doesn’t need to be reheated. It also turns off automatically after an hour so it won’t be running non stop until the water in the warmer evaporates ans the bottom burns (this did happen to me with a different brand warmer!!)Different settings based on volume – you can choose how much milk is in the bottle and it warms it to body temperature and has great accuracy because it will be set to the volume of liquid in the bottle. Of course, always double check before giving the bottle to your baby, but so far it has been spot on and evenly heated.Defrost setting: since i am pumping breastmilk I am also storing any extra in the freezer. I have been dreading defrosting it when the time comes because there are lots of rules around it, but the defrost setting on this warmer is a dream.It’s also compact and looks good on your counter, so you won’t need to hide it away. The only thing I would like to see is for it to come in other colours than white! But other than that, I will be buying this as a gift for baby showers going forward as it will be helpful and a time saver for me and my son (7 weeks at the time of writing) for at least another year or two.

I was scared off by a few bad reviews and bought something else first. Five tries and never got a usable temperature. Ordered this one and it was perfect the first time. I set it for 6 oz with 8 oz of distilled water in my NeilMed bottle. It came out warm, stayed warm while I added my meds, and was the perfect temp when I rinsed. I’m sold.

I did not want to believe the negative comments as we are talking about a leader brand in baby appliances but they are true!The bottle heater simply does not work. You prepare the formula, put the bottle in, select the correct setting and water level and it just does not heat it up! So you end up with a crying baby in the middle of the night who will be unable to go back to sleep easily…
