Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The only microwave sterilizer to communicate completion of sterilization process and provide removable drying rack. Unique safety features: steam release vent on top of lid; ergonomic handles on sides double as pour spouts. Special "trees" designed to hold nipples and collars. It holds up to four complete bottles of any type. Removable drying / organization rack. Sterilized indicator changes color when cycle is complete. Moms often hold hot sterilizers against their bodies to try to pry them open to access the contents. We intentionally made our lid not "lock" onto the base, but rather put the carry handles on the base itself to eliminate the need to have the lid lock at all. We also incorporated a steam release valve to help the contents cool faster. And, we solved the "Is it sterilized yet?" question by adding a color change indicator, which visually shows when the sterilization process is complete. This is why we call the microwave sterilizer "Safe and Certain".

Product Description

The Safe & Certain Microwave Sterilizer from The First Years is the only microwave sterilizer to "communicate" completion of the sterilization process: the indicator changes color when the sterilization cycle is complete. The steam-release vent offers added safety, and the ergonomic handles double as pour spouts. Features removable drying/organization rack. Holds up to four complete bottles at a time, including nipples and collars. Compact unit fits into most standard microwaves; unit measures 7.25" x 11" x 11".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great sterilizer for the price, July 3, 2006

I bought this sterilizer not knowing what to expect and I was suprised. It works very well and is quick and easy. With a young newborn that is very important. It holds 4 bottles and the accessories. It only takes 4 mintues in the microwave, 2 minutes to cool, and it's done. Couldn't be easier. I would not waste $$ on more expensive sterilizers when this will do the job.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, February 15, 2008

This review is from: The First Years Microwave Sterilizer (Baby Product)

If you will be pumping at all, this is a must. It is large and will hold everything from a pumping session (plus bottles/nipples/pacifiers). You can use a dishwasher to sterilize, but that seems wasteful to me to run a dishwasher just to sterilize when a 5 minute run in the microwave with only a few ounces of water will do it. No need to get a unit that is more expensive. I'm not sure about this unit fitting larger bottles, you may have to use First Years bottle for it to work. There are cut outs on the bottom of the sterilizer tray for longer bottles, but if you are using a different brand than the cuts may not fit.
