Useless
If you've dropped the bottle and nipple in toxic waste, this might be more helpful than washing in hot water with antibacterial soap or a dishwasher. Otherwise, I think washing the bottles is better.

Gets the job done!
This product gets the job done. Does what it says. All you have to do is add water and pop it in the microwave for 2 mins. I wish it were a bit smaller, but I suppose its size accommodates large bottles. I put bottles, pacifiers, breast pump parts in it without a problem.

Great Price for Peace of Mind
My mom bought this sterilizer for me with my first child and now 4 years later, about to give birth again, we purchased the same one again since it was so convenient. Sterilizing isn't completely necessary, I know, but with this product it is SO EASY I see no reason not to. I have several different brands of bottles and pacifiers and you can put them all in there. My microwave is 900W (I found out by typing in the model number online) so it just takes 4 minutes. We paid $30 at Target for it and I think it's worth it. Much faster than a dishwasher, cheaper than a counter-top sterilizer and you still get everything sterilized with hardly any trouble at all.

Avent system: excellent quality bottles and nipples, some concern about BPA with heating
Despite the concerns about BPA we are using these bottles for our daughter, and using canned formula to supplement breastfeeding. The concern with BPA seems to be heightened when the bottles are washed with hot water, or sterilized at hot temperatures. We bought this sterilizer, but have stopped using it. However, we still use the dishwasher, which is fairly hot. I am keeping an eye on Avent's statements:

We keep using them because they seem to be really excellent bottles and nipples, she feeds easily and doesn't get a whole lot of gas. The nipples are designed so that you can graduate her to faster flow nipples as she gets bigger. We are hoping that the BPA concerns will turn out to be unwarranted.

Great product - especially for the price!
I have used the Avent "II" sterilizer found at other retailers. (probably not much difference between the two) I have been using the sterilizer for one month since having my twins. It has really been helpful cleaning non-Avent items (breast pump items, baby bottles, pacifiers, etc.) It can sterilize in 2 minutes (depending on the power of your microwave). You don't HAVE to have this sterilizer, but, it helps if you want to clean a few items without having to boil water each time or running your dishwasher.
It came with two small Avent bottles. I'm not reviewing the bottles themselves - that's another topic. However, this is a nice feature so you can try these bottles out to determine if you want to use their bottles or not.

Be Aware! Avent Bottles Contain BPA Bisphenol -A
I liked Avent Bottles, my daughter Liked them too! Then I found out about Bisphenol -A being used to make the Bottles. After re-searching Bisphenol -A, I discovered that exposing my baby to harmful chemicals with the potential for long term affects later in life, was definitely not for me!! There are other options out there, all glass bottles are safe, as well as Born Free, Mam by Sassy, Green to Grow and Adrini. Do your own research. I'm really surprised the non Bisphenol -A Free bottles haven't been recalled yet! I'm sure it's just a matter of time, before enough people are educated.

Can't imagine being without it
We purchased this before the baby was born, just in case we had to go the formula route. We did have to go that route, and believe me, just get this, there is no way you are going to take care of the many many things you have to do for your little baby and manage to sterilize everything the old fashioned way. Simple, no brainer purchase.

This is a wonderful product to have on hand for sterilizing bottles,nipples,etc. It's fast and does the job it's intended to do.
I've given this as a gift three times, and they have loved using this product. Easy to use, fast and done in 4 minutes.
