Philips Avent Premium Baby Bottle Steriliser and Dryer, Removes 99.9% of Bacteria, Chemical Free, Capacity 6 Bottles/Teats/Accessories, Model SCF293/01

Easy to use steam steriliser. Love that this has a drying function However if you have a lot of bottles / pump parts in it, you might need to turn on the drying function again. It’s my 4th month using this. We have been using it daily / sometimes twice a day and it is still working well

I can't compare it with other brands but it does it's job, sound is not annoying but still having it, good job with the right amount of utensils.

We absolutely love this steriliser. We had use one other steam steriliser before this but with this one having the dry function as well it is an absolute game-changer. Sterilising can take up a good portion of the day especially near the start but having your bottles, toys, bits and bobs sterilised and dried within 60 minutes is amazing. Make sure you keep up with the maintenance side which is fairly minimal effort and you have a brilliant steriliser to last you a while. Size wise it is quite tall but this just means you can fit more in. Can fit 6 bottle in one go or we have also sterilised breast pumps and toys at the same time as well.

Very good steriliser. Doesn’t take up too much space on countertop. Steam sterilises and dries in 40mins. Easy to assemble and use. Only downside is quick limescale build up if you live in a hard water area.

I previously used the same Avent, but the dryer made a complete mess, with water everywhere. Then I bought Vital baby for £139, but the UV didn't convince me. Avent with the dryer is the best option. No water mess. Bottles are dry and sterilised. The option takes only 6 min. Highly recommended.

I like that: 1. It dries. Mostly, pretty effectively. Once in a cycle you get a few drops of water still on an item or two, but very insignificant quantities of. 2. It dries without having to buy any filters like the other model I saw for 60 quid so cost efficiency is achieved, and the higher price tag ensures it will outlast competing ones in value for money over time. 3. It is durable like any Philips item. Even the older one I’m replacing this with had lasted over 4 years and is still going, but only sterilizes, not dries. I don’t like that (small gripe though): It seems a tad narrower on the bottom compartment that usually takes larger bottles because of the insert that’s to hold bottles. I used to sterilize even 2-800ml and 1litre jugs in there plus two Comotomo bottles, but can’t do that now. Just bottles - and it takes tall and wide ones. But I don’t mind it terribly because I understand why it is designed that way to enable effective drying of bottles on those raised spikes. You just have to do more rounds.

Serious safety concern — heater plate coating failed after minimal use The steriliser worked very well initially and did exactly what it was meant to. Unfortunately, after only around four months and just a handful of uses, the coating on the heater plate at the base started to deteriorate and flake. This does not appear to be limescale, and given this is a baby steriliser that produces steam in direct contact with bottles and teats, we were not comfortable continuing to use it once this was noticed. Amazon arranged a collection and refund without issue, which suggests this is not an isolated or acceptable failure. It’s disappointing because the product performs well, but a heater plate should not degrade this early, and in our view this represents a potential health concern. I would strongly advise anyone using this product to regularly inspect the base.

Such a great product! Helps a lot with my baby's routine

Baby products are trusted on Amazon. Super prompt delivery and tracking is updated very accurately.

This has been a life-saver. As I'm exclusively pumping, the amount of sterilising of bottles and breast pump parts is relentless. This steam steriliser makes the job bearable - the best part is that you can also dry everything with this. I only wish it was bigger. We use this several times a day and have done for months now, and it works perfectly. The one downside is that it seems to collect a lot of limescale - more so than any other appliance we have in the kitchen (eg Nespresso coffee machine, also used every day). Descaling is fairly straightforward with citric acid.

Great and needful product. For 240ml bottles you kinda need to lean into side in order to close it.
