 Not bad...Jun 25, 2009
Pros:
- Uses steam to heat so it's much quicker than an immersion heater.
- Also doesn't have the bacterial concerns with the warm stagnant water of an immersion heater.
Cons:
- It has several different settings, but no memory. So each time you want to heat a bottle, you have to press one of the two buttons over and over until it's at the setting you need. For instance, to heat a refrigerated 4 oz bottle, you have to press the buttons six times every time. During the day, it's clumsy and annoying. But one handed in the middle of the night with a crying baby in your arms, it's frazzling.
- Pretty accurate for Avent bottles but you have to play around with the settings if you use another kind. I use standard neck bottles and have to add an ounce to the cook time.
Overall it's not bad, but if I was doing it again I would choose a steam heater with settings I didn't have to reset every time.
 Not perfect, but a very good performer. Way better than using your microwave.May 06, 2009
We bought this because we read that microwaving milk for your infant is not a good idea (possibility for toxins from the bottle; can easily overheat the milk), and warming milk on the stove (boiling water) is time intensive - if you have a crying baby on your hands, every second counts.
Pros: Easy to use, has settings for frozen, refrigerated & room temperature. You can operate it one handed!
Cons: While you can operate it one handed - the circumference of the warmer and the circular shape make it a little hard to grip. I found the recommended settings to be a little off (didn't warm the milk enough).
Tips: This is just my personal experience - so take it for what it's worth. I only used it with refrigerated or room temp milk. I set number of ounces one number higher than the amount of milk I had in the baby bottle. Don't try to use it to thaw milk in a frozen plastic bag (big mess - and the reason I only used it for room temp & refrig. milk) Make sure the water level is just even with the removable screen in the bottom of the warmer. If you leave the just warmed bottle in the warmer for very long after it's done, it will overheat the milk. I always swirled the bottle after I took it out of the warmer to ensure even warmth. This is a "No Brainer", but.. ALWAYS TEST THE MILK BEFORE GIVING IT TO YOUR CHILD.
Recommended to friends: Yes.

 Stopped Functioning on me Twice!! and Manufacturer refused to replace.Jan 05, 2009
I bought this bottle warmer when my son was born. For first two months, I was breastfeeding my baby so I didn't have chance to use the warmer and it was still brand new in a never opened box. When I resumed my work again, I started using it and after two weeks, one morning, it just stopped working. Later on, I figured the tip that presses the sensor to activate the warmer did not push the sensor deep enough. So I had to place tiny folded piece of tissue in between the sensor and the tip (everytime I used...) to make it work. However, I figured it wouldn't be very convenient for long term so I decided to return it to the Avent manufaturer. Avent replaced it with a new one....but guess what.. it stopped working exactly after 3 weeks with the very same problem. When I called them again, Avent refused to replace once more and they blamed me for not descaling it regularly. I mean, in three weeks, how many descaling do you need for a machine to not stop working!!! I was very upset and contacted Amazon and explained the situation. Thanks to Amazon because they refunded 80% of what I paid for even though they are not obligated to do that at all.
I use a lot of Avent products and they are great, but not this one. Also, I'm very dissapointed in their poor customer service.
Not worth the $$Dec 15, 2008
I read the mixed reviews before buying this product but wanted to have my own opinion and now after trying to use it for almost 9 months I definitely think is not worth it. The product is hard for my mom, who is older, to use it so she goes the old fashioned way of sinking in hot tap water. For me I never seem to get the right temperature, either too cold or too warm. Also I hate that does not come with a water measuring container; for the price you pay for this it is a must. My sister has a much simpler one that costs [...]bucks and for my second child I'm going to save hers and give this one away.
Do not buy this bottle warmer!Dec 10, 2008
This might be the worse product that I have ever purchased. First of all, I hardly ever get it on. Instead of starting the heating process the push on the "start" button just moves me up the volume display. If I manage to get it on, it is most often with another volume indicated. The few times that I did manage to get it on with the right volume indicated, the milk gets either too cold or too warm. I am so frustrated with this product that I am now going to return it to Philips. If I get another replaced product and it works, I will happily write another review (hopefully better!)
