The bottle warmer works as advertised. I like the aesthetics of it and it lasted without a problem through my son's eating-at-night period.It may overheat the bottle if you don't monitor it, but it worked well for us. Just keep an eye on it.
This is a great warmer. We used it for more than a year and the thing was consistent the whole time. until you know how long it takes at a dial setting to heat the milk to the temperature you want.
We used it primarily to heat breast milk. Likewise for less time. Keep in mind with any warmer, you have to keep an eye on it.
If you know you want more time to let the bottle heat, turn it down and do the same test. It's great because you can adjust the heat and it's CONSISTENT. When you first get it, set the dial in the middle, put a bottle of refrigerated milk in it and then keep testing it at 1 minute, 2 minutes, etc.
We got it so we set the dial at a position and left it for 3-4 minutes and got exactly the temp we wanted. It's espeially great because you can leave a nanny with instructions and feel more at ease that she'll get it right.
When the indicator light goes off I take the bottle out, shake it and put it back in. I didn't appreciate how good this warmer was until I tried another one recommended by a friend. I think this warmer is dangerous. It works well if you fill the water to the top of the milk/formula level in the bottle. I only wish it was a little taller for the 9oz bottles. The steam rising out of it was very hot and the bottles and particularly the nipple rings got so hot I burnt my fingers more than once.
The bottle itself gets warm but not hot so you have no problem holding it. The other warmer was "The First Years Night&Day Bottle Warmer System" which steams the bottles. The second time the light goes out it is usually ready - about 4-5 mins. And then of course I was afraid my baby would grab it. Also, the first couple of times I used it the bottle tops flew off like champagne corks, so I had to remember to take them off first.The Avent warmer heats the bottle immersed in water. It is a perfect fit for the 5-6oz bottles.
I would definitely recommend it as a quick and safe way to heat your baby's bottles.
This is a nice item, it heats water, formula, and frozen baby food relatively quickly. the only drawback is that there is no timer and there is no cutoff for the power.what would make this item better is a temp measure cutoff.
I purchased this bottle warmer for my first baby, now with baby no. 2 on the way I will buy another one, it was a great product that never failed, and warmed every single bottle to a perfect temperature. I highly recommend it.
