Philips Avent Microwave Steam Sterilizer SCF281/051.0 ea(pack of 2)

I am the father of a sweet (and hungry) 7 months old girl and washing and sterilizing bottles is a (multi)daily routine. We already have a microwave sterilizer of a different brand and when I received a free sample of the Philips Avent SCF281/05 Microwave Steam Sterilizer to review I was curious to find out if there were appreciable differences. After using it for over a week, I can definitely say that there are several things that I really like about this microwave sterilizer. First, the size is just right, not too big and not too small. The construction is quite sturdy while still being lightweight. One feature that I really like is the locking system: while assuring a better sterilization it will also avoid spills of hot water when you remove it from the microwave and you handle it right after use. Talking about cons, the pre-set spaces are useful only if you use only Philips Avent bottles. While the sterilizer works well also with bottles from other brands, a flat surface would have been much better! Also, the tongs are totally useless, they are small and I was never able to use them efficiently to really grab anything Overall, I like the Philips Avent Microwave Steam sterilizer much better than the one I own. It is sturdy, the color is nice and the locking system is great, even if I would have preferred a design allowing a higher versatility when mixing and matching with bottles of other brands.
