Philips Avent, Baby Bottle Warmer

I don’t know a THING about bottle warmers, but I decided I’d get one to test it out and see if it would make my first time mom job any easier. I bought this for around twenty bucks on Amazon, so not out of the budget at all. I read a few reviews and saw that this works with other branded bottles as well. I recently purchased a bunch of Avent bottles because that seems to be the only bottle my son likes and that work for us. So I haven’t used any other brands yet in the warmer, but this has been very effective! I’ve noticed it warms breastmilk up a LOT quicker than formula. The only thing I’d recommend is really watching the time and making sure you take it out on time. It can get really hot, really quick and it will take an awfully long time to cool down which can make it a bit stressful if you’ve got a hungry baby! Overall I love this product and I’ve got no complaints! Make sure to read all the instructions so you don’t end up with burnt milk or a ruined bottle!

This warmer is controlled by a thermostat that works quite well, and if turned full "on" will get quite hot. It heats up very fast, like the vintage "Hot Shot" water heaters for beverages. I used a Taylor digital probe type thermometer to test it out for heating and maintaining luthiers Hide glue at 150 degrees F.The water bath, filled to the internal fill line with room temp water, reached 150 degrees in 2:46 and 170 in 5 minutes. Added a glass Avent Brand 4 oz baby bottle filled to 5 ounces with the nipple attached. Starting with tap water, found the 150 and 160 degree position of the controller knob at about the 1 and 2 O'clock positions respectively and marked the positions with a pencil line. The warmer heated the water in the bottle to 150 degrees in 15:45 minutes and maintained it very well. Using the glass baby bottle adds thermal mass that helps regulate the temperature of the water extremely close to the "set" temperature. And the lid (with nipple) even acts as a pressure release. I just marked the 150 and 160 degree settings with a sharpie. 150 degrees will be right in the middle.This should be a very good, fast Hide glue warmer and should be great for baby bottle warmer if one reads the instructions. It will work fantastic for a Hide glue pot, heating the glue in the Avent baby bottle.

This review is coming from the father. After having twins born 2 months premature, we were left scrambling for things we hadn't yet purchased, one of which was a bottle warmer. After doing a good amount of research and reading several reviews, I landed on this bottle warmer.I'm a big Amazon user (I buy hundreds of things a year) but am not normally a reviewer (I've only written a couple). However, I feel like this product deserves one.We liked it so much we ended up buying a second. It works well, though not as well as advertised. 3 minutes is pretty quick, but even now that they're 5 months old, we can heat 4oz of formula from the fridge in 6 mins. The water heats up really fast.It's simple and has held up to being used several times a day, every day. The only complaint I have is that the knob feels a little loose, but that's it. Great product and has held up to plenty of use.I'd highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a simple, basic warmer that will last you a long time.

I bought this bottle warmer to quickly warm bottles for my 1 month old baby. Many ppl believe that a bottle warmer is not necessary and a waste of money because you can quickly warm a bottle by placing the bottle in a bowl of warm water. While this is absolutely true, that is still not what I want to do in the middle of the night when the baby is ready to eat NOW and not in a few minutes after mommy warms the bottle. I keep the bottle warmer on my nightstand, next to the cooler where I keep my cold bottles of breastmilk. Rather than running up and down the stairs multiple times during the night, I simply place the cold bottle inside the warmer, fill it with water up to the level of the milk, and turn the dial to the proper setting (for me, it's the picture of the small bottle). Following the instructions that came with the warmer, I take out the bottle exactly 3 minutes after I turn the warmer on. As other reviews have mentioned, the warmer does NOT turn off on its own. If you do not take out the bottle as instructed, the warmer will continue heating the bottle.Overall, I really like this warmer for selfish reasons: I really don't like walking up and down the stairs in the middle of the night to warm my baby's bottle. It's a perfect warmer for placing by your nightstand and warms the bottle quickly in 3 minutes (which is much faster than other warmers). Some other warmers have claims that they do not overheat the milk in order to prevent denaturing proteins and nutrients that are in the milk. Although I don't know what the perfect temperature is for retaining the milk's nutrients, this warmer does not overheat the milk as long as you take it out as instructed. The milk comes out lukewarm, which is perfect for my little guy. Pricewise, this warmer does not break the bank and performs exactly as described.

This works great if your not a complete idiot like some of these other reviewers. Set the dial (half bottle/full bottle) and check every minute or two. You can time how long it takes and go by a simple clock to time how long your bottle takes. We are at 5 oz and depending on the temp of the milk we are about 5-6 minutes to heat a bottle. This is a basic warmer and does not have auto off or timers which is just fine if again, you’re not an idiot....It will boil the water if you set it in high and let it go for awhile. Just don’t do that.... problem solved...Even at 2AM we never experienced overheating issues because we timed it before hand and knew roughly how long it takes to warm up
