Such a time saver
I’ve had this for just over a week and wanted to give it a good try before reviewing. I’m very happy with this steam sterilizer. The size is great, you can fit a ton of stuff in here and having the 2 compartments to use allows you to set it up for whatever you’re needing to sterilize. If you need to store on your counter it looks nice, sleek and clean. If it needs to be stored in a cupboard being able to take it apart into the 3 sections allows for easy storage (I put the smaller compartment on the base and store the bigger compartment beside it). The instructions were a bit overwhelming at first since it’s all pictures but it makes sense if you look at them with the unit in front of you, I do wish the breakdown of what each symbol on the power button meant was at the begining of the instructions I feel that would have helped make it easier to understand right away. The 130ml of water needed is a rather odd number, its easy enough to measure out on the bottle but most bottles have the ounces marked so 120ml would be a better number for ease of use as it’s more obviously marked on bottles.When the unit is running the sterilization setting its so quiet you forget it’s even running. The dryer setting is a bit louder but still very quiet. And the time frame for running a sterilize and dry is very fast. I much prefer popping everything into this unit than taking the time to boil on the stove and end up dripping all over the counter when emptying.The only 3 things I’ve noticed that are negatives. The seals for my pump don’t dry all the way inside the rim so I have to give them a quick dry when they come out. There will be a bit of residual water left in the unit so you need to dump it out and quickly wipe the 2 chambers and the base to dry it. And the included tongs are basically useless. They are far too small and if you’re trying to get things out when it’s hot your hand is basically in the unit. I prefer just using my normal kitchen tongs. But half the time I don’t use tongs at all so it’s really not a big negative.This unit is a massive time saver and is so easy to use. I feel it’s worth every penny and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sterilizer with dry function.

Handy and versatile!
Good, inexpensive, easy to use sterilizer. So much more convenient and faster than boiling in a pot on the stove. Works for bottles, pacifiers, breast pump parts, teethers or any other baby items that can be steam sterilized. Well made, sturdy and compact enough for travel as well. One only thing keeping me from giving it a five star rating is that only Avent brand bottles seem to fit well in it. I currently use NUK bottles with my baby and they don’t fit perfectly in the slots of the basket and can move around slightly. It still works ok for my bottles but isn’t perfect. Definitely something to keep in mind. It is a bit hit or miss in this sense. If you use Avent brand bottles then this is an absolute must!A few tips…Use distilled water in the base while sterilizing. It prevents build up.Wash with a mild soap and air dry or put in the top rack of the dishwasher. I don’t find it necessary to wash everyday, rather a few times a week.After sterilizing and cooling flip the lid upside down onto the counter then assemble the bottles in it. A clean, sterile surface.Use the included tongs to remove items after sterilizing. Put them in the basket while sterilizing so they are cleaned properly as well. You can also use them to pull the sterilized nipples through the bottle collars/rings to ensure they stay clean.

Muy fácil de usar, me encanta que ya deje secos los biberones y accesorios, es lo suficientemente grande para desinfectar mi extractor, mordeduras y cualquier otro accesorio que necesite
