I actually use this to sterilize utensils, glasses, and other items because I don't have a dishwasher. It's large enough for long spoons and medium size mixing bowls and you can fit quite a number of items for each load. MUST use distilled water or the the heating pad will not work after awhile.

I use this sterilizer several times a day to clean my little one's bottles as well as my breast pump equipment. It gives me peace of mind and prevents my little one's thrush from lingering around. I think it also prevented the spread of thrush to me. It's quick, and easy to use. I wish that it also had a drying function since it sometimes takes a very long time for the bottles to dry (I take them out and put them on a bottle drying rack after sterlizing). I would have been willing to pay extra for a model that also dries the items after it cleans.

I love this sterilizer. Unfortunately, the TT bottles didn't work for us, but I have continued to use this sterilizer and the TT microwave sterilizer for my Dr. Brown bottles. Works great. Also, the TT bottle warmer and the TT travel warmer are great with Dr. Brown bottles as well (and cheaper than the Dr. Browns').

I've used the sterilizer for a year now. I never had problems with it and I use it everyday, at least twice a day (I have twins, figures). Its very convenient compare to the old ways were you have to boil it in the stove. Only takes 5-10 mins and you don't have to stand and watch it. Highly recommend it...

I purchased this last June, before my son was born. He came along in August, and we didn't even use the sterilizer regularly until October when he started daycare because I breastfeed. In December, it stopped working- the button would not stay in after pressing it. Babies R Us replaced the sterilizer with no problem. This week, the same thing happened with the new one after 6 months. I am not sure if I should even bother trying to replace it again. While it worked, I had no complaints. At least I'll get some counter space back!

This item worked fine and then stopped working properly after 3 months. It is very annoying that a product meant to help keep babies safe is so unreliable (based on our experience and reading other reviews). I would not recommend that anyone buy a product that does not last. This is going back.

Very please over all Probduct works as it says! easy to clean only down fall is at the bottom of the steriler the paint is wearing off looks kinda nasty but it does not interfere with the anything. Hold alot of bottle and u can even put medicine droppers in and pacifiers and it will not damage them.

Registered for this since it goes with the other TT items we wanted and received it as a gift.

What I like about it:
- easy to use
- sterilizes quickly
- holds alot of bottles (can even fit my Ameda breastfeeding parts)
- 2 racks, one for the bottles and one for the nipplies and lids
- easy to clean

What I don't like:
- kind of bulky (but then again it holds alot)

We use this everyday to sterlize our DS's bottles and parts to my Ameda breast pump. I wash our bottles and pump parts in warm soapy water, rinse them and then place them into the sterilzer. I then fill the sterilizer with filtered water and turn it on. Bottles and pump parts are sterilized quickly. When it's done doing its duty, I take off the lid and let the items cool down before taking them out.
The sterilizer is easy to clean and works great.

Love this sterilizer. We've had no problems with it and use it all the time. So glad we got it. It's very easy to use and not time consuming. It fits all the tommee tippee bottles and accessories perfectly. Love that it has the rings for them.

At first I loved this product, and used it daily to sterilize my bottles. After just 5 weeks, the first one I purchased broke. Since it really is very convenient I returned the broken one, I thought it must be a bad one. Well... after using the second one for 3 months, it has broken again. It really is very convenient, and super easy to use; when it isn't broken. I followed all of the recommendations for cleaning, for proper use; etc. I am disappointed that I will have to replace this item for a third time, or find something else! For now I am doing it the old fashioned way!
