5.0 out of 5 stars Great product !!, August 21, 2009

This review is from: Munchkin Steam Guard Microwave Sterilizer (Baby Product)

After alot of research I bought this sterilizer at Walmart when I was pregnant with my last 2 children (twins). With all the bottles I have gone through in the last 10 months this sterilizer has been wonderful. I wish I had known about it when I had my other 3 children. I wash the bottles, put them in the sterilizer, add 7 oz of water, microwave for 4 minutes, let them sit for 2 minutes and done. SIMPLE and easy. I have sterilized breast pump parts, pacifiers, bottles, and nipples with ease. I would recommend this product for anyone looking for an easy way to sterilize. This is now the gift I give to friends and family that are pregnant.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Works, April 17, 2010

This review is from: Munchkin Steam Guard Microwave Sterilizer (Baby Product)

I'm a father of a 4 day old and thought we wouldn't be needing a sterilizer for a while since my wife and I planned on breast feeding exclusively in the beginning. Turns out that our baby had borderline Jaundice and it was recommended that he get plenty of fluids so we started supplementing with formula. I bought this product at target for about the same price as on Amazon. I didn't have the luxury of waiting for delivery.

Pros: It works, it's simple (just asdd water and you can use the bottles you are going to sterilize to measure the water), it holds a lot, it is compatible with different brands of bottles (we have doc brown and avent), it can hold other non feeding items that need sterilization, lid clips eliminate accidentaly opening after use lessening chane for steam burns

Con: no steam vent to release pressure before opening, no indication that proper temperature/time has elapsed for thorough sterilization

Responses to other comments: water comes out everywhere when opening - sure some water comes out some of the time, but if you open it carefully it's a minor to non-issue. Unsure if it's BPA free - of course i wish we knew for sure if it was BPA free, but in the end nothing on this product will go into my baby's mouth so it's a nonissue for us. I'm not chemist, but my understanding is that BPA is a chemical compound that is part of the structure of certain plastics. it's not like BPA can unbind with plastic molecules in this product and magically transfer over and bind with a bottle or nipple. In my opinion, as long as the bottle and nipple is BPA free, we are comfortable.

At the end of the day, i'm happy with this product. if i had the luxury to wait for shipping, I would have strongly considered the microwave sterilizer from The First Years as i've had good experiences with that brand and it has a design to address the cons I listed above.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dont buy this, its flimsy for something thats steaming and HOT., March 23, 2011

Yes, it's big and the bottles will fit. I use the big Dr Browns bottles and I can get 4 in with all the pieces at once but not STANDING the bottles upright. That's why it gets the 1 star, but water in any plastic container with a lid would sterlize bottles. Its the design that abolutely kills this product. The blue handles that you use to close the lid are so flimsy they come off at times, such as when you're moving the sterilizer from the microwave to the sink. They are NOT reliable, don't hold them sterlizer from there... And the sterlizier itself is shaped so poorly that you really can't grab it from anywhere safely. This is an accident waiting to happen. I am a very cautious person and I caution you, if you do buy this, don't use it with small children around and hold on to the receipt. You're going to need it.
