The First Years Baby Bottle Warmer and Sterilizer - Pacifier and Bottle Nipple Sanitizer - Feeding Baby Essentials for Formula or Breast Milk - Holds Multiple Sizes

Finally. It arrived. I'm a fairly frugal person, obviously I bought this cheap lil guy. I was going to get the born free one which I kinda wish I did for the cooler. But I decided to get a breast milk ice pack and use with existing cooler pack I have. Honestly I'm glad I did, ill get more use out of the two than a bottle warmer with a cooler. I like that my bottles may be warmer in less time than 3 minutes with this guy too. It certainly seemed faster. I thought I wouldn't need one. I thought how hard is warming under the faucet? Well. It is achievable... But SO much easier with a warmer. My babe sees milk and starts smiling. Then in 3 seconds crying if she doesn't get. She SCOWLS if we drink a glass of "adult" milk. So this really helps that I can hold her and settle her. However, she can smell it being warmed I swear lol. So if you got a impatient milk-addict like me, maybe warm it away from her. I went into this realizing that it is a variable temp/water gage thing. it even says so on the manual, right under the chart ( may have been added after some reviews but who knows.) I kind of used the chart and my own reasoning, and presto. Worked on first try and didn't seem like it took 3.5 minutes even. But could be because I use glass. I swirl my bottle about halfway through, but do at your own risk. holy hot! The bottle will feel hotter than heck, but the milk wont be. Important for breast milk :) I think my next step will be to actually take its temp. All in all I'm impressed. Its simple. So simple a half asleep ( I say asleep loosely, do moms ever really sleep?), crazed lunatic mom brain FTM can do this. And 13 bucks!? That means I can buy more Mommee Coffee with the 30 some I saved. But lets be honest. All the coffee in the world aint gonna help your mom brain. So get this super simple, effective warmer. Its not that hard to figure out!! Don't listen to the people who go super cheap and expect a $90 machine. If that's what you want, spring the 90. But seriously, you really don't need the bells and whistles. I may be frugal, but ill splurge on certain conveniences. And if you can be patient and give it a few goes to find your own time, you just be glad you did. The only thing I don't like? The water vial doesn't stay on so well. you have to twist and make sure the little cap edge you open it with is facing away from warmer, just like in the picture.it may ever say that somewhere.

This is an excellent device IF you have the right expectations, and use it the right way. It boils a few cc of water very quickly, which creates steam very quickly, and surrounds to bottle with high temperature steam, thus heating the bottle and it's contents. Having said that, realize the need to PROVIDE A VENT for the build-up of heat and pressure. So if you are heating bags, or capped bottles, I'd crack the lid or open the bag a bit. Effective use requires that you understand some simple physics. If you want consistent results, you have to deal with consistent inputs. Bottle temperature, bottle volume, water temperature, and water volume will affect your results. As such, if you alter the volume of the bottle by half an ounce, or alter the volume of water by even half a cc, you could get a scalding hot bottle or not warm it completely. The same would go for a bottle that was refrigerated for 20 minutes or 3 hours, or cold tap water, then warm... The device has NO control over those inputs. It is a cup with a powerful heater and an on-switch. Could it be more advanced and regulate temperature better? Sure, but you would need thermometers in both the water and formula, and a device that cost $100, not $15, nevermind probes that required washing, etc. So in short, success requires a consistent application of: 1. Water volume and temperature when it is added. 2. Formula / milk volume and temperature. 3. Time left in the device. I remove the bottle the instant the green light shuts off. 4. Bottle type. Different bottles will have different surface areas and density. I always use the same style bottle. 5.When you remove the bottle, realize that the outer layer of fluid is warmer than the inner core of fluid. Swirl the bottle a bit to mix it. Finally, I have also seen pictures of some reviews where the inside gets very dirty. This can be caused by a few different things. If you have vented bottles, then there is a possibility of fluid leaking out of the bottle and mixing with the water in this device. You can avoid that by VENTING your bottle. I.E. loosen the lid a bit. It could also be caused by hard-scale water from your tap. You can prevent this by using DI/RO water if you have it, or periodically toss some vinegar or dish-soap in the device and let it de-scale. I have successfully cleaned mine several times by filling it with hot water, then dropping a dishwasher tab in the hot water for a bit. It always rinses out squeeky clean. Obviously unplug the device if you are rinsing it in water. I have zero complaints for this. It works well. It costs <$20. I've bought 1 for home and 1 for all the sitters, grandma's, aunts, etc.

I bought this bottle warmer for my daughter so I could warm her milk. I used to warm water in a coffee mug using the microwave.oven for 2 1/2 minutes.and then I would dip the baby bottle with milk in it inside the coffee mug.This method works more for glass bottles not so much for plastic ones. Regular plastic bottles tend to take longer and don't heat up as well.Same thing with the performance of this FIRST YEARS QUICK SERVE BOTTLE WARMER. It offered a bit of relief for me because I know that warming water in microwave oven is very dangerous. It could actually burst if you set the timer for a long time.This bottle warmer does it's job for what is intended to perform.It works well but you have to pay close attention to it, Testing the bottle as it warms to get that "just right" temperature.Not too "HOT" &/or still "COLD". Here's how this product works: You fill the included clear graduated plastic vial with a white cap with water to the line corresponding to the minutes you want to set the warmer. The more water you put the longer time the Bottle warmer will be in "ON" position. Be careful not to put too much water because the baby bottle might leak if the milk start to boil & some milk will end up inside the chamber of the warmer and it will just continue heating up the metal round plate at the bottom of this bottle warmer until the spilled milk or water will evaporate. If there's no more liquid inside the warmer chamber then this will automatically shut "OFF" Let's continue...You dump the water you measured depending on the minutes shown in the vial which is a small amount directly into the chamber where the bottle will sit inside that plastic mesh with a removable adapter ring. Place the bottle inside and press the button on the front. There will be a green horizontal light that will lit up as soon as you press it down.Green light tells you that the warmer is "ON". Mind you "Press Down" and NOT PUSH Inward.like I did the first few times. In about 30 seconds steam begins to form and in about two minutes or depending on the measured water/time when nearly all the water has been turned to steam the unit automatically shuts off. You can test the temperature of the milk by letting it drip on top of your hand in the space between your pointing finger & your thumb.either your left or right hand. Do not use the inside surface of your palm because our hand tends to have thicker skin on that surface.You can also warm baby food jars or big & wide neck baby bottles by removing the removable adapter white ring intended for smaller bottles. You can also use this to sanitize pacifiers.

This bottle warmer is really easy to use and gets the job done without overcomplicating things you just add water, press a button, and it warms bottles pretty quickly. I like that it doubles as a sanitizer for pacifiers too, which is a nice bonus and saves space. It’s also compact, so it fits well on a nightstand or small counter. A solid budget-friendly option that works well once you get used to it.

I’m so glad I got The First Years Baby Bottle Warmer and Sterilizer! It has made feeding time so much easier and stress-free. It warms bottles quickly and evenly—no more worrying about hot spots—and it works great with both formula and breast milk. I also love that it doubles as a sterilizer for pacifiers and bottle nipples, which saves me time and gives me peace of mind knowing everything is clean and safe for my baby. It’s compact enough to keep on the counter without taking up too much space, and it fits multiple bottle sizes, so I know we’ll use it for a long time. Simple to use, reliable, and a huge help during those late-night feedings—this has truly been one of the best purchases for our baby!

This bottle warmer is probably the best $16 I've spent for the sheer convenience of being able to warm a bottle quickly. Like others have mentioned, it takes an incredibly long time to warm a bottle in a pan of hot water when you have a crying baby who wants to eat immediately ~ so, this little product is great since it only takes a few minutes to warm up a bottle. There is definitely a bit of a learning curve to this product so that you get the temperature you want every time. The warmer does come with a guide of how much water to use to create the steam heat and I've used this as a starting point. My baby seems to like room temperature fluids so actually warming a bottle for her takes literally a minute or two at most since I am not heating to a higher temperature. Also, I learned the hard way that adding even just a few more drops of water (say filling to the 8 instead of the 7 on the little measuring dispenser) makes a huge temperature difference, so once you know exactly how much water you need, stick with it. The other variable to this device is the little plastic ring that is placed over the top of the warmer (it states "Not to be used with disposable bottles" around the top of it) adds to keeping the steam within the warming chamber- so if you take it off it make take an extra bit of water to get the milk warmed to baby's preference. I took this ring off because I just couldn't get it to sit flat over the removable basket. The product is fairly small and doesn't take up too much counter space, something that was also important to me since I hate clutter on kitchen counters. The one thing I don't care for about this product is the way the little water dispenser attaches to the side, or rather how it doesn't really attach easily to the side. I am sure others know what I mean at 3AM when you barely have your eyes open and try to slide that sucker into the grooves just right...ya, not easy. I've only had this item for about a month, so I can't speak to the longevity of it, but so far I am very happy with it, and should it break I would purchase another just for the convenience of it.

Great size to not take up too much space on the kitchen counter. Unfortunately did not do well warming como tomo silicone bottles. While they fit fine, the steam heats the exterior more than the milk itself. Also worked well to sanitize pacifiers.

This is the fastest bottle warmer we have found. We bought two other more expensive brands, both were very slow to heat. When you have a crying baby you want bottle warmed asap, this warmer is the best. I replaced the other warmers with this one.

Excelente

We used to heat his milk up in a bowl of hot tab water, but after a 2 hour feed - we needed a new solution. This bottle warmer auto shut off, works quick (we use 3 min for 125ml in a Medela bottle), and easy to use. The on button lights up when pressed, automatically turns off when done (other brands dont have this feature). After having this bottle warmer, our little one consistently drinks more and finishes in less than 30 min. He enjoys the milk more and dozes off to sleep after the feed. As one of the reviewer recommended, we used a small cloth to cover the warmer to trap the steam in. Shake it well before serving so the temperature is evenly distributed.

This is a great product to warm up the milk before feeding. It was very efficient, especially helpful with overnight feeds. The guide on time required for warming up the milk was off by a fair bit. I worked out the optimal time myself by trial and error.

ガラス製哺乳瓶では使えないのが残念だけど、それ以外はとても重宝してます。入れる水の量は実際にやってみて感覚を掴む感じ。

Temnperature is really hard to guess, kind of have to babysit the bottle to ensure it is at a good temperature. Also hard to get out with one hand. Kind of hate this product.
