Philips Avent Fast Bottle Warmer with Smart Temperature Control: Warms Evenly, No Hotspots – SCF358/00

Very good.

We use this for our glass Avent bottles and it does a really good job of heating them up and maintaining them. Has very good dry heating protection, and is good at maintaining the bottle temperature for an hour. Would recommend!

We brought this item on sale before our baby was born so we cannot return it. However we would if we could, the Philips bottles are too difficult for our newborn to drink from so we use mam or tomee tippee bottles. I had read that this product was usable with various bottles. It is not, it doesn’t heat them at all!

We started off with the NUK bottle warmer until we got tired of the milk always being boiling! This is slower than the NUK but it is more accurate as you can say exactly how many ounces of milk you have (if it is refrigerated just increase it by an extra ounce). We now have 2 (one upstairs and one downstairs).

This bottle warmer made the first year of being a parent much easier! Using it cannot be much simpler as it is a matter of turning a dial, pressing a button, and waiting for the light to stop blinking. Don’t forget to test the milk because on a couple of occasions, the milk was too warm. I would buy this again despite that.

I decided to write this review after noticing the amount of people complaining about this product.The building quality is really good. Much, much better than other famous brand that I had in the past, and that after a couple of months of intermittent use it started leaking from the bottom.The presets for the volume work very well too. It is fast (~3-5 minutes to a warm bottle, depending on the volume), and also keeps the ideal temperature once is warm.The only thing that is not very well described in the instructions is how much water you should put in the device. There's a change in the internal diameter, but if you fill with water just until that level, the milk doesn't comes warm enough. This is perhaps the reason why some customers are complaining about the bottle warmer not working properly. We now add water until it reaches the same height than the milk in the bottle and now it works like a charm.

Doesn’t work with Mam bottles - the bases are too thick so doesn’t heat.Boiling water in a jug much more effective ….. don’t waste your money.

I have been using this with my MAM bottles and it has worked well however the time to heat up does take a little longer the 3 minutes that is suggested, I woukd say around 6 minutes to heat up milk. It has a seperate function for baby food which I find useful when I am unable to cook for my little one.The design is nice and delicate but I suggest cleaning out the water regularly to avoid limescale build up.
