Amazon.com Review
Bleary-eyed parents who scramble to heat bottles in the middle of the night while their baby screams will rejoice at the simplicity and speed with which the Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer warms milk (and food) to just the right temperature. All they need to do is place the filled bottle in the warmer, fill the warmer with water, plug in, and wait for the neon light to flash on and off. In four to six minutes, baby has his bottle.
The Details
Whether a parent is heating breastmilk, formula, or pureed peas; using Avent bottles, other brands, or baby food jars; the Avent Express Baby Food and Bottle Warmer gently and evenly heats baby’s meal. The included plastic basket is used inside the warmer to keep baby food jars and Avent bottles upright. It can be removed when heating the Avent Magic cup and other makes of bottles. Water is added to just above the level of the milk in the bottle (or below the top of baby food jar). Plug the unit into an electrical outlet and click the switch on. A neon light will illuminate. Turn the dial to the appropriate setting (3 for Avent feeding bottles and baby food jars, and 2 for Avent Disposable System). When the bottle has been in the warmer for the appropriate length of time (a guide is included, based on whether the bottle is at room temperature or refrigerated to start), the light will flash. Test the temperature and reheat if necessary or serve. Don’t forget to switch the warmer off and unplug it! Why Not Just Use the Microwave?
The microwave is never recommended for heating baby bottles or food. It’s difficult to judge just how much time is needed, and even brief heating can create "hot spots," which can burn baby. In addition, important nutrients may be lost in microwave heating.
How About Just Putting the Bottle in a Bowl of Warm Water?
Sure, if you (and your baby) don’t mind standing by the sink waiting for the water from the tap to warm up, then waiting for the bottle to warm, checking, checking again, and again…
Get Out of the Kitchen
Midnight runs back and forth to the kitchen are not high on the list of favorite activities for most parents. A pleasant bonus to using the Avent Express Warmer is that it can be set up in the bedroom, bathroom, nursery…anywhere there is an outlet. Having the bottle warmer and fixings set up close to the action (not too close, though—mind the safety precautions) can subtract minutes from the whole process. And as any parent will tell you, every minute counts.
What’s in the Box
The Avent Express warming system includes bottle-warming unit, basket, feeding spoon, four-ounce Avent bottle with top (nipple not included), and instruction manual with time/temperature guide. All Avent products work together and are completely interchangeable.
Note: It is possible to overheat a bottle or jar of food with this system. If you find that a bottle is not warm enough after the allotted time, you may replace it in the warmer, but remember that, although the water surrounding the bottle will remain at a constant temperature, the contents of the bottle or jar will continue to heat. Always test the milk or food before feeding baby. Use all normal and necessary safeguards when using this electrical appliance. --Emilie Coulter
Editorial Review
A convenient solution to the problem of quick and accurate bottle warming, the Avent express warmer is about the size of half a loaf of bread stood on end. The design is simplicity itself: a water-filled reservoir surrounds the bottle, heating standard acrylic baby bottles to the correct temperature in about four to six minutes. Of course, this is exactly what happens if a bottle is placed in any other container of warm water--what you get here is easier control over temperature and fewer trips to the kitchen. Designed to be used only with Avent feeding bottles or the Avent disposable system. Includes one 4-ounce Avent baby bottle, top, and spoon. --Richard Farr

a WARMER review
First off, reading the other "not-so-warm" reviews was amusing to read!!! I say this because, out of all the warmers out there, the AVENT one is far the best! NEW MOMS, READ the directions FIRST... There is a fill line inside the warmer that shows you how much water to put... ALSO, in the DIRECTION BOOKLET, it SAYS DO NOT PLACE WATER FIRST, PLACE BOTTLE FIRST then FILL with WATER to DESIRED LEVEL of formula in bottle... If you are using the 9oz bottles then fill to the top of the warmer! To SOLVE the problem of the ON/OFF switch dilemna, I plugged my unit on one of those multiple outlet strips with a switch... Instead of unplugging the unit, I just turn the switch... SIMPLE!!! LADIES be inventive when it comes to children, this is my first, AND I am finding new ways to streamline! It holds the AVENT, MAWS, and JOHNSONS Healthflow ANGLED very nicely! The BEST thing about this warmer is it REALLY HEATS EVENLY and HAS a nice WARM consistency. ENJOY!
This warmer lacks important features
Not knowing what to look for in a bottle warmer, I was attracted to this model because it was small in size and didn't take up a lot of counterspace. I have no complaints about its warming capabilities, but after using the warmer several times, I found I really needed a few more features than it offered:
The unit does not have an automatic timer, which means YOU have to keep up with how long the bottle has been in the warmer. And when you are trying to deal with a fussy infant, it's easy to lose track of time and overheat the bottle.
The unit has no Off/On switch and must be unplugged after each use.
Another small annoyance is the bottle does not sit flat, but floats unevenly in the water while heating.
I finally purchased another model which included these features.
could be warmer oh no too hot !!!
I bought the avent baby warmer and whilst not totally disappointed in it I also can not say that it is one of avents best products.
To list a few negative points
1- The product has no on/off button and personally I prefer not to take out plugs and leave them on the side when the surface is potentially wet also I have found that sometimes when removing plugs this can cause a spark which would be an unpleasant surprise for anyone however an adapter with an on off button does resolve this problem but adds cost to the product if you don't already have one.
2- The timings are not accurate which means I have to keep checking bottles so they don't overheat and when the bottle gets put back into the warmer the pressure of the bottle going into the water causes the water to overflow no matter how carefully done.
However on the positive side the warmer does heat the milk evenly and to a good temperature when kept an eye on and saves some time.
The best thing about any product is that it is designed so well that anyone can use it safely and effectively, the purpose of a great product is not to find ways of overcoming the products design faults. Having spoken to a many number of friends many of them agree that this product is a nice to have but by no means necessary.
However as with all avent products this is the best on the market so if you want a bottle warmer this is the one to buy.
