Baby care requires so much time and vigilant attention. Any appliance that takes the guesswork (and a few precious minutes) out of the endless feeding routine is a blessing to caregivers. The Avent IQ24 Sterilizer is a relatively small, simple appliance that sterilizes up to six (Avent brand) bottles and/or screw rings, nipples, pacifiers, and breast pump components in just six minutes. The contents then stay sterile for six hours, providing the lid is not removed. An optional second mode keeps bottle- and breastfeeding accessories sterile for up to 24 hours by continuously repeating the cycle, so baby can have clean, sterile bottles day and night. And as we know, babies actively require feeding 24/7, so this is no idle bonus! Sources: http://www.amazon.
Using the microwave or stove top to sterilize baby bottles is time consuming and unreliable. The Philips Avent iQ24 is quick – takes only 6 minutes – and simple – just push a button. No more waiting for water to boil. No more uncertainty if the sterilization is complete. This device takes care of everything in the most simple way possible. Highly efficient, super easy, very effective. Yes, the price is high – nearly $100 – but the convenience and safety factor make it a worthwhile investment. Only downsides are: 1) the cheap feel of the unit (but the plus is the light weight) 2) restrictions on bottle type and size. http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Avent-Sterilizer-without-Bottle/dp/B001C3MHF0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1239899355&sr=8-1 Just get one with the bottles to be sure: Philips Avent iQ24 Sterilizer with 2 Bo
