| 'VERY USEFUL, SURPRISINGLY UNFIDDLY' |  | Strengths: Super-quick, easy, makes life easier. Handy tongs that also sterilise mean that you can prepare ahead. |  | Weaknesses: can't really think of any. |  | Overall: I'd just like to second the review above. This is a really good bottle that I found after reading a review in a magazine. It totally lived up to expectations and I don't know how I'd do without the six that I have.
When a microwave isn't available you can sterilise these in your regular steriliser or however you usually do it.
When I bought the first I thought it might be fiddly, particularly with the tongs, but it was surprisingly easy. I don't think I still have all the bits but I have enough that it's not a problem. Might be a problem if you only bought one though. |

| 'GREAT, A REAL TIME-SAVING GEM' |  | Strengths: Very quick to sterilise, less than a couple of minutes in the microwave, simple to take around with you for use out of the home. Space-saving as you don't need a sterilising unit with it, good size. Simple to use. |  | Weaknesses: You need a microwave available if you want to use it. you might need to buy different teats if the ones provided don't suit you. You need to let the bottle cool for a few minutes before handling it as it can come out of the microwave rather hot! |  | Overall: Great bottle and I think really worth the price, makes some of the other branded bottles look positively expensive.
To use you just fill the top up with water to the specified level, put your bottle bits over the top of it, click the body of the bottle on upside down and bung it in the microwave for about a minute and a half (more if you're sterilising more bottles at once). You need to let it cool a bit before handling.
I've got really used to using this bottle now, and realised how much I depended on it when I visited my brother and his wife who don't have a microwave, taking a steamer unit along was a drag and when I visit my mum I usually just take a couple of these bottles with me. They're so quick to sterilise I could probably get away with one.
I've noticed that the bottle is hotter when it comes out of the microwave at mum's so I have to leave it longer to cool, probably performs slightly differently according to the power of your microwave I imagine.
I wouldn't rely on it as you won't always have a microwave to use, but if you know you'll have one available it's perfect. |
