I bought this steriliser as a replacement for the new tommee tippee designed steriliser after the bottom heating element developed burns and unmovable limescaleRead more
It also leaked a lot and fitted less bottles than the previous design I had with my first born. I had read some great reviews on the avent 3 n 1 steriliser and so thought I would give it a go. I liked the amount of space it had compared to my previous steriliser as I was using MAM anti colic bottles, which are quite large and have many different parts. The heating element is also nicely exposed so that you can see the limescale forming, which prompts you to descale. The sterilisation process is pretty speedy too, which is always handy for a busy mum who is always on the go and who has a hangry baby. Only niggle I have is that the power cable is quite short so I have to unplug every time to empty the old water content but that isn't a big deal, just me being lazy :). The Price is reasonable compared to others on the market and I have found it a great replacement for my old steriliser. - Strengths:

I always trust Avent and was very pleased with this electric steriliser. It looks great and doesn’t take much space on the kitchen worktop. It does sterile the bottles in 10 minutes and then it’s best to clean the whole steriliser straight away to avoid limescale in the bottom tray as well as the plastic parts. I would recommend it. Oh and another downside is the short cable. - Strengths:

<p>This is great if you need a compact steraliser as rather than being wide like the majority of steralisers, this is tall and thin. I bought it as part of a set with the Avent bottles however we did not agree with them so we switched but my bottles still fit in. I now manage to fit 6 <a href="https://www.consobaby.co.uk/advanced-anti-colic-3-x-260ml-bottles-tommee-tippee.html">tommee tippee bottles</a> in at once which is great as I can steralise my bottles for the day. The downside to this product is that it leaks each time when used and I have a puddle on the worktop that I have to clean. I also have to descale it quite often however this is not too much of an issue as I have read other reviews for similar products which state the same.</p>Read more - Strengths:

Great all round steriliser quick and easy to use. Quite pricey but if you can find it on offer then we’ll worth the money. Ideal that you can just use it’s of it instead of having it all built up and looks smart. - Strengths:

this is a good steriliser as it has different layers and heights for different items and you don't have to use all the layers at once. it can stain both the heating element and the inside of the steriliser so needs descaling on a regular basis. it takes about ten minutes to sterilise the bottles and can fit up to 6 bottles depending on what type you are using. - Strengths:

I bought this for my daughter. I am happy with the function overall. It does it's work well. Mine started rusting in a week time that's a bit upsetting. I wrote to Philips, still waiting for their reply.Read more
Otherwise , I am happy with it. It can accommodate a lot of bottles, teats, milk expression kit. If I have to sterilise only the kit, I use the top rack only. This is the beauty of 3 in 1.

We love this product as it saves us so much time sterilising the bottles. It does not make lots of noise and is very easy to clean. However as our kitchen is very small it takes a lot of surface space, besides that does all it should. - Strengths:

Compact bootle and breast pump or dummy steriliser does a good job but water leaks everywhere need keep cleaning and another problem with limescale apart that seems to be ok.Giving as a present but will not buy again.

This product is good fits in 6 large bottles and tops plus the brush to clean bottles as wellRead more
Only downside is the steel plate we now use bottled water as this does not burn the plate every use
White vinegar cleans the plate after every use leave for a while then wipe clean looks brand new again
They don’t tell u this in instructions now in a routine with it so no major problem still rate the product

Nice little steriliser, perfect for a small kitchen. Only problem is we have found is that it always leaves the water tray burnt and needs descaling SO many times no matter how muhh water you fill it up with (then it leaks as its too full!) - Strengths:

the Avent steriliser is good value for money. we had a few problems with ours though as it’s suppose to turn off after 6 minutes, which would help with how busy you are, but it doesn’t and if you forget about it it burns out and takes forever to clean - Strengths:

Been using this for 5 months. It is great as you can sterilise up to 6 bottles and it is easy to use.
It does however leak so we have it on a towel. It also states that it takes 6 minutes, it does take longer, but it is still quick that it doesn’t bother me. - Strengths:

We bought this steriliser after our microwave one just wasn’t big enough to keep on top of all the bottles. It has 2 trays to separate bottles, teats, soothers etc and can fit at least 6 bottles. It is so easy to use too. Put in water, switch on, done in. 6 mins. The only downside is after only one or two uses the water tray (which is metal) looked tarnished. We cleaned it with vinegar but after another use it was back to lookong tarnished. It does require cleaning more regularly that you would like.Read more - Strengths:

I brought this sterilizer after seeing reviews online. I liked the 3 in 1 design but noticed it does leak quite a bit. The sterilizer is fast and does your items in 15 minutes but unfortunately doesn't come with an indicator like a bleep for when it is finished you have to check the light. The sterilizer is an ideal height and width for me with very limited space in my kitchen.

Been using this steriliser for 7 months now, slim design and fits in kitchen well! Fits my 7 dr browns bottles and teats etc well! Sterilising cycle is fairly quick too! Only downside is leaks water at times and the water tray rusts quickly and burns! Leaving a bad smell on bottles! - Strengths:

This steriliser does work really well and looks great. However the base burnt very quickly and it does not dry the items and there’s always a large puddle of water on the work top around the base of the steriliser after use sis have to keep a tea towel wrapped around the base. As a result I have decided to buy a different brand.

I wanted a large enough but compact steriliser which i could push against the wall when needed as opposed to a round one like many on the market. I really like the design and it does feel compact as i can push it against the wall when not in use even when it is fully assembled. So far I have used it to sterilise bottle (can 6 at a time), dummies, powder dispenser pots and breast pump equipment, i can't really imagine using it in the small configuration to be honest. The water goes in the base and it is very easy to operate from first use, just push one button.Read more
It does get limescale easily and i noticed this after a few days of use even though i am in a soft water area. Also there is a lot of water left behind all over the base after use and on the bottles which can be annoying especially when you it comes to taking the different sections apart to add more water to the base as you end up with water everywhere dripping from the different parts that have been lifted.
Overall good machine that does the job but slightly disappointed with excess water and limescale issues. - Strengths:

I love the Agent products, but I wasn’t mad about this. I found that the water plate leaked all the time and even turned rusty. I’m definitely one for ensuring that when I clean something, I take all the components apart and let the air get to them. Despite my best efforts, I wiped this down after every use but it still turned rusty. I decided not to use it anymore for fear the rust would be going into the hot steam and onto my baby items. - Strengths:

Had this product for 2 weeks before it stopped working. Metal plate had limescale rather early into the use of product. Also had a burning smell even with correct amount of water in, which made the bottles smell. Then stopped working all together not what you need with a newborn - Strengths:

No other issues with the steriliser, it is great space wise and is perfect to hold 6 bottles. However it has started burning the bottle of my bottles and is burning the steriliser plastic and it smells. - Strengths:
