Philips Avent4-in-1 electric steam sterilizer

We used to own an older version of this sterilizer. What we liked about it is the base was covered with plastic and not a plate of metal like this current model. The maintenance of this unit is a bit more work. We must use vinegar and because of the calsium deposits from the water (although we used bottled water), sometimes we have to scrape the calsium deposit off hence scratching the surface of the metal plate. Also, our first one all of the sudden stopped working, but Phillips quickly replaced it because it was only 4 months old. Their customer service is excellent.

Love that there is 2 levels in this system. I use it almost everyday and haven't had any problems except for the cord moving so it doesn't stay balanced. It is very simple and quick to use.

This product worked great until my daughter graduated to 80z bottles. The container could not hold the bottles upright and therefore, they weren't really sterilized inside as well as they could be if at all. I would still have to bottle brush them after sterilizing. Also , any leftover water didn't have a place to evaporate or drain.

The design is wonderful as it can fit different size bottles including other bottles not limited to Avent bottles only. However, the sterilizer stopped working after 5 weeks of use.

Most of philips products are good, but not this one. After sterilizing, there are a lot of water left inside the bottles and nipples. The white part keeps having the white residues. Seem like everytime after I use it, I have to clean the white part with vinegar and water.

The old model was great. This model rusted after a week and so did its replacement. Would not recommend. In fact, advise friends against purchasing it.
