Philips Avent 3-in-1 electric steam steriliser SCF284/01 Kills 99.9% of harmful germs Sterilises in 6 minutes Fits 6 Philips Avent bottles Adjustable 3-in-1 design is rated 3.9 out of 5 by 110.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use great design I love this product it is so convenient as you can pick what basket you need so the size of the items you can sterilise. It is great to find a steriliser that you can fit the weaning equipment in with ease. We have even been on holiday with the steriliser as was so compact and no need so us to worry about the accommodation not having a microwave and buying another. I like that it says safe for 24hours once done and it only takes 6 mins. It is small so fits in our kitchen table without taking over and the lead is generous so you aren’t restricted. It is easy to delimescale when needed. Fits in my larger bottles from USA so would probably fit any brand.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easy to use, quick and versatile We have been using this product to sterilise 11month old grandsons bottles and dummies. It is really easy to use and love the fact that you can add or remove the different sections for sterilising just dummies or bottles etc. It is quick to use and the bottles can be left in it until needed, keeping them clean and sterile. We have also put the different sections in the dishwasher to clean them. Th design is also fairly compact so doesn’t take up too much valuable space on the work surface. The metal plate at the bottom does get covered with limescale fairly quickly if you are in a hard water area but can be cleaned.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Extremely disappointed. Let us down Really frustrated with this product. We’ve only been using for two weeks and it’s caused a load of issues. Firstly it leaks everywhere. This, however, we can deal with. Secondly, the metal base started burning and leaving a black residue after two uses. We then saw this was a well documented issue with this product and so we used the white vinegar solution. Fine, we can tolerate that. Now, two weeks in it’s simply stopped working. Just won’t turn on. We’ve used it three times!!! And we desperately needed to sterilise this morning. So frustrating. Would not recommend this to anyone, especially now I’ve seen all the other complaints online. Can’t believe that this is still allowed to be stocked.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Now on my 3rd Steriliser! The first one stopped working after one day. I took it back to the retailer who replaced it. The 2nd one stopped working last night after only using it for 5 weeks. With it being night time I couldn't take the steriliser back to the shop and get a replacement and instead of sitting with my feet up having been up since 4am, I had to go to the supermarket at 9pm and buy ready-made formula bottles with teats as I didn't have enough bottles sterilised to last until the morning.I took the steriliser back to the retailer today who replaced it yet again. I am very disappointed with Philips and this product as I had used the old version with my first daughter and had no problems at all. It's difficult enough dealing with a newborn baby without having to deal with faulty sterilisers. Finally, when is does actually work, it is very quick and simple to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great slimline design - easy to use The steriliser has a slim line design which means it doesn't take up the whole worktop. The power cable is just the correct length to keep it from dangling all over the place. The slim line design is fab but very deceiving as I was able to fit everything into one cycle. This is a fantastic steriliser easy to use. Fast sterilisation cycles and I was fully confident they were sterilised properly and safe for my baby to use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Simple and so practical! Clearly a product that has had careful consideration put into its design and performance. The slimline design means I have a steriliser that doesn't take up half my kitchen like a big circular steriliser would! I was a little skeptical initially about how such a design would fit a good amount of bottles in but I managed all the bottles and teats I wanted to sterilise. It isn't too noisy and so quickly brings out fresh, steamy cleaned bottles! I have full confidence that the Avent 3-in-1 thoroughly cleans my bottles and is safe for any baby. I'm also glad it doesn't have a very long wire to plug in, perfect length. Really is a quality product that is so convenient for all us busy mums

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Versatile I wasn’t really expecting much from this steriliser as I thought they’re all the same, however I must admit I was wrong! You can adapt the different levels depending on what you’re sterilising. It’s really quick, and actually it’s quite stylish and discrete and given it has almost a permenant place in the kitchen, looks is important. Wish I’d of used this brand of steriliser with my 1st child!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easy to use and looks good Love this steriliser, it is really good you can fit quite a lot in there and doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen. It's tall but not bulky. I use it with the bigger Dr Brown bottles and it easily takes 6 bottles. Descales easily with white vinegar and water. Has a quick sterilising cycle about 6 minutes. Great steriliser you can use it in 3 way small basket with large basket or separately. :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A timesaver It is much better way to sterilize than using boiling water on the stove. Also it is very quick at sterilising my breast pump and bottles. It only takes 6 minutes to complete a cycle and get everything clean and sterile. Whatsmore it does not take up too much space and easily fits 6 large bottles, tops and soothers. Overall, I absolutely love it and I would not change it to any other company.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good product, has some flaws I have been using this steriliser for about a month now and it does its job for sterilising the bottles and teats. The unit also shrinks down for me to be able to do any extra bottle tops and teats. I have found that water tends to leak from the unit when trying to get everything out when the process has finished, this causes me additional work for wiping down the sides afterwards. I have tried to use this along side a microwave steriliser and have found that i prefer the microwave method as i feel the cleaning and maintenance is less invasive. it is a good product and does what it is designed to do by sterilising bottles, I think i will stick with the microwave method

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic convenient steriliser This Steriliser is brilliant. I like that it can be Altered to different sizes depending on how much you have to sterilise. It was easy to use. It sterilised very quickly and i liked that things stay sterile for 24 hours if lid is kept closed. I used this to sterilise bottles(different brands), dummies, spoons and cups. Its great and would defintely recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Very easy to use but there is a slight flaw in the design This steriliser is extremely easy to use and is great because you can fit a large amount of different sized bottles and other parts in it with ease e.g. From your breast pump, dummies etc. I would say though that the top section does not seem to fit snugly into the bottom section and there are numerous times that I have found my worktop covered in water when sterilisation is complete (it leaves awful lime scale marks all over my granite!). I cannot understand how so much water ends up on the worktop and believe it may have something to do with the design flaw. I would be extremely happy with the product if it wasn't for this irritating flaw and although I would recommend it I would possibly think twice and say it might be worth trying another brand if you can find one that is so versatile and easy to use.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Burnt Bottles and left a Bad smell We were purchased a Electric Steam Steriliser by a family member. We used the Steriliser for the first time with no issues, but during the second use the Steriliser just didn't seem to turn off. After 20 minutes we turned the Steriliser off at the plug after we started to smell a burning smell. When we opened the Steriliser to find that all the bottles were discolored and smelt burnt. Following this we took the Steriliser and the bottles to the baby shop where the family member had purchased the product. Unfortunately as this was purchased while my partner was pregnant (6months ago) it wasn't able to be exchanged. We have been left with a broken Steriliser that destroys bottles and have bought a cold water steriliser.
