Philips Avent 3 in 1 Electric Steam Steriliser

Steriliser works well and has a large capacity, have since stopped using it after I discovered that the grey hotplate is coated with Teflon (still turns brown pretty quick). Our replacement Minbie unit has a stainless steel hotplate instead; the choice is yours!

I can easily fit in 7 bottles, which is helpful to not spend long periods of time in the kitchen. Unfortunately the element burnt? very quickly, although we followed all instructions. Also don’t like that even when turned off at the wall, if you knock the button when moving it, as soon as the PowerPoint is switched on, so too is the steamer, so keep an eye out for that!

This steriliser generally works well but the problem is it is difficult to clean. I wash all the bottles very carefully. The brown stain starts to appear after 2 months especially on the bottom of the white plate. Now I have to wash with vinegar every day and still can't remove the stain. All the bottles and breast pump parts turned yellow. I'm worried as it provides unclean steam for every cycle. I believe this is not covered by the warranty. I'm thinking about replacing the white plate but unsure about the cost.

I recently brought this product from babies r us! It worked great at 1st but after a couple of times the hot plate had brown stuff all over it! Consulting cleaning it off it didn't go away so then I used the citrus acid stuff and it finally went away but in saying that all my bottles would smell really bad and I would have to sterlise them again! I wouldn't really recommend this product to a lot of people!
