Editorial Review
About the size of a coffee maker, this electric baby bottle cooler/warmer will be a big convenience for bleary-eyed parents who are tired of stumbling down to the kitchen in the middle of the night. At the rear of the unit, an insulated compartment keeps two 8-ounce bottles cool for up to eight hours. (There's no refrigerant, just a specially shaped container that can be filled with water, frozen, and then slipped into place.) At the front, an electrically heated water container produces steam, which heats one bottle to the correct temperature in about five minutes. There's also a night-light built into the front of the unit. Note that the unit cannot be used with glass bottles. --Richard Farr

Customer Reviews

With a little practice this is a nice warmer4
My only complaint is figuring out how much water to use to heat the bottle. The instructions indicate the water holder should be filled to the taller fill line to heat an 8 oz bottle and the shorter fill line to heat a 4 oz bottle. Well, my 4 oz bottles are sometimes too hot or cold and you have to wait 10 minutes before using the unit again. I have had to use the faucet to correct my over or under bottle heating. I still like this bottle warmer and with practice I will figure out the correct amount of water. The night light is great and the insulated cooler is another nice feature.
I am using the Avent bottles and this system will accomodate the 9 oz Avent bottles if you use the MINI-BASKET. The mini-basket will also hold baby food jars. The 4oz bottles fit in the warming chamber with the regurlar basket.
Please read instructions. This warmer does the job!5
Former reveiwers listed that the Night&Day does not fit the 9oz Avent bottles. It does. In fact if you read the instruction booklet, it clearly stated that you use the bottle/jar basket for larger wide-mouth bottles. This unit come with two baskets, one for standard and smaller wide-mouth bottles like Avent, and another to warm baby-food jars and to accomodate larger bottles like the 9oz Avent. So have no fear in purchasing this warmer, it clearly does the job!
A WONDERFUL PRODUCT!!!4
Okay...every new parent needs to have this product!
This saves me from making trips downstairs with baby screaming every night! This product has many wonderful features..I'll list them for you!
1. Keeps bottles cold
2. Heats bottles faster than you can change the diaper!
3. Works with AVENT system!
4. Nightlight
5. Auto shutoff
You must have this warmer! I bought one for the car too! (Doesn't come with car adapter...I bought AC adapter for the car just for this product! Saves me from having to stop a million times!)

A must have if you use Adiri bottles5
These warming caps are a must have if you are pumping breast milk and storing (fridge/freezer) and using the Adiri bottles to warm the milk. View the Adiri website for a video. I found the place I purchased Adiri from did not sell the warming caps.
Takes too long to heat bottle2
While the warmers do allow you to use the Adiri bottles in a bottle warmer (otherwise the milk leakes out the bottom), they take FOREVER to heat up the milk in the bottle! After giving it a few tries, I've decided to go back to heating the milk up in the bottle I pump into (since you can't pump into the Adiri bottles), and then transferring the milk to the Adiri after heated.
excellent bottle.5
My two month old daughter is pretty much solely breast fed, so it has been hard to find a bottle for her. There is no nipple confusion with this bottle and it doesn't leak. A+++

Great way to keep track of milk5
Due to extenuating circumstances, I exclusively pumped and fed my baby breast milk from a bottle. I used this storage system several times per day with the Lansinoh bags -- a combination that worked very well for me and my baby. This box allowed me to keep the milk in order by date and time so that I was always using the oldest first. (The Lansinoh bags fit well, and I recommend them too) It kept the milk confined to a small, organized space in the refrigerator and the springloaded backing kept everything standing up and easily visible. I was able to store up to 20+ bags of 5 oz each at any given time. I finally did begin freezing the milk, but chose to freeze it on a cookie sheet and then store it rather than freezing it standing up. It seemed to freeze faster this way.

I liked the fact that the storage system is discreet. It looks like a plastic storage box in the refrigerator; it doesn't scream "LOOK here's breast milk" and make others potentially uncomfortable.

I considered using the bottle rack storage system because it felt as if I was creating a lot of waste, but the reasons I stuck with bags were that this system was easy but more importantly, warming milk in hot tap water is much easier and faster in bags (where there is more surface area) than in bottles and when your baby is crying because he is hungry, quicker is better.
Good idea, but.....3
I thought this was a really great idea to organize all of my breastmilk after working so hard to pump it all. Well, I purchased this along with the Lansinoh bags, which I preferred over the First Years bags because they were BPA free and sturdier. Well, even though the Lansinoh bags are better, they don't exactly fit this organizer - they are slightly wider than the container. So, when the milk is being put into the organizer, the sides of the bags get squeezed and, ultimately, in my case, have caused tears in the bags.

So, when I go to defrost bags in the fridge, I notice that they always leak. Now I have to put the bags in an additional ziploc bag to defrost them so that I don't lose all of the precious milk.

What I have started doing is putting the freshly pumped milk into the freezer laid flat, and then, once it is frozen, putting it into the organizer on an angle without using the retractable flattening thing in the container. You can't store as much, but I use the lid as an additional tray and I can store more that way.
great product5
Perfect product for freezing milk, keeps the milk neat and organized and is a great solution for my side-by-side fridge/freezer. Only downside is that you can only put two new bags in at once because there is only one plastic separator (otherwise the bags will stick together). Not a big deal though, I am happy enough with the product that I am buying another!

Great product !!5
After alot of research I bought this sterilizer at Walmart when I was pregnant with my last 2 children (twins). With all the bottles I have gone through in the last 10 months this sterilizer has been wonderful. I wish I had known about it when I had my other 3 children. I wash the bottles, put them in the sterilizer, add 7 oz of water, microwave for 4 minutes, let them sit for 2 minutes and done. SIMPLE and easy. I have sterilized breast pump parts, pacifiers, bottles, and nipples with ease. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for an easy way to sterilize. This is now the gift I give to friends and family that are pregnant.
Every new parent needs one5
I have used this as an alternative to boiling bottles ( i still do boil them all once a week) but this product helps save time and is so easy to use.
I don't stick to the stacking method they suggest as you have to fit the bottle parts as you go depending on the type of bottles you use but all in all, bottles and all parts are cleaned and sterilized well.
Just be careful when opening the lids after as the steam can be overwhelming.
A very good buy.
Time-saver5
I love this product! It's easy to use, practical & a time-saver. I have a 3-week old and don't have the luxury of time or sleep anymore so every minute is precious. This sterilizer is just what I needed.

Customer Reviews

Disappointing1
I had purchased this sterilizer based on a recommendation from a friend. After just a few uses, the steamer stopped working. When the lever to turn the steamer on was pushed, it just wouldn't turn on any more. I contacted the First Years manufacturer, and to say the least, they did have excellent customer service. They had no problem replacing the unit. Upon receiving the second unit, I used the steamer once. And because the steamer couldn't hold every thing on the first run I had to run it twice in a row. To my disappointment, I pressed the lever and again it did not work. Frustratingly, I pushed the lever several times and then the light finally came on. Unless you cool it for about a half hour or more, this is how my unit operated. I'm sure that not every one's experience is the same but this was how mine was. I definitely would caution buyers on the product - only because this problem occured twice with the units that I have used.
Junk1
We too had problems with turning the sterilizer on. The unit would not turn on when the lever was pressed, but several presses got it to work a couple of times. After about 6 uses it died completely. Not sure what the hard part about making a hotplate that is switched on by depressing a lever (like an electric kettle) is exactly, but these guys found it.

This unit also left a LOT of condensation in the stuff we sterilized.
Worked great at first...2
I bought this right before my daughter was born and have used it every day since she was born 4 months ago. A week ago it just stopped working. I really liked this steamer and it had served me well but now was just not turning on anymore. So I went out and bought the exact same steamer. I used it for 2 days and then on the third day, yesterday, it wouldn't turn on anymore. I'm taking it back today and getting something else.

Not worth it...1
I bought this bottle warmer since I was going on a 7 hour trip and didn't want to have to take 15 minutes or more to heat a bottle. The box says it heats a bottle in just minutes...yeah, more like 15-20 minutes. Plus you have to make sure the button that the bottle sits on is completely pressed down. I had to hold the button down myself or press the bottle down against it because the bottle wasn't heavy enough. Otherwise the device doesn't turn on or shuts off the second the button is not fully depressed. It's a pain in the butt to me. My baby doesn't eat on a specific schedule so I don't start heating a bottle until she starts to wake up. It takes 5 minutes just to get the bottle out and situated, then it takes 15 minutes to heat the bottle because the heating band is only against about 2/3rd's of the bottle. By then my baby is screaming. I would not recommend this item.
Works for me5
I pop a bottle in it when I start the car and by the time we get to where we are going it is hot. If I need a bottle hot right this moment I pop into Starbucks and get some hot water. It does take longer to heat if the bottle is cold, it works best with room temperature bottles. I have used it with 4 oz and 9 oz Avent bottles and 6 oz Playtex Ventaire bottles. The first one I got did not work and the company did some troubleshotting with me and then promptly replaced it by mail.
happy baby!5
I traveled alot with my infant and had this product so I could heat her milk anywhere we went! I loved this product! It heated evenly and worked well with both my Avent and off brand bottles.

Not bad2
Takes a long time to heat the bottle up so start warming 15 mins before a hungry baby starts crying. I wish it had a timer or a beeper because I accidentally left it on the lighter and burned it up in a week. Good tool but I found a drive thru cup of hot water a faster and easier method.
Not recommended!1
I throw mine away! It has been plugged in my car(which was running) for about an hour and still the bottle is barely warm! My baby's bottle did not even came from the fridge! It is definitely a waste of money!
great design and fits cupholder5
I ordered this one because the others had buttons in the bottom that would turn off when the bottle was not directly on the sensor. since the others had oval bottoms they didn't fit in a standard cup holder either, thus it had to sit on it's side and the bottle would move off the sensor and it would turn off. this one stays on , heats quickly, and fits in cup holder.
