Great - No problems, 21 Mar. 2011

I bought this as part of a Tommee Tippee package at Toys-R-Us and have had none of the problems that the majority of people on here have found. I mainly breastfed, so it was probably only used about 3-4 times a week, but each time, it worked without any problems and I found it really easy to use. The lady who commented about putting different amounts of water in, caused the cycle to be longer or shorter - if she'd read the instructions, she would have known this already. There was some water left at the end of the cycle, but I presume this is from condensation from the steam that does not escape. It's easy to empty into the sink and not a hassle at all.I would recommend this steriliser to anyone who wants a quick, easy, hassle free steriliser.

Does the job - but not very well., 25 Feb. 2010

As soon as I found out I was pregnant I wrote a list of things to buy - and for some reason, everyone told me to get tommee tippee as they were a good quality, repuatble brand.

I got this from Argos, not amazon, and it has only lasted 3 months! Today, after de-scaling it and (luckily) sterilising my bottles, I put it on again to do teethers/soothers and it will not turn itself off! It is now creating a burning smell, and I've had to pull it out at the mains.

However, I will review it for the whole time I have used it & give it its dues where they are deserved.

It is the only tommee tippee steriliser that does actually take 6 bottles without any struggle. It is very quick at sterilising what you need done (5 mins I believe) and it stays sterile for 24 hours if un-opened.

The down sides (for me) were that after about a month of daily use the heat had totally warped the steriliser, and the lid didn't fit on very well at all (unlike another tommee tippee...

Works, very easy to use, serviceable, but with some limitations, 12 Oct. 2015

I can understand why a few people don't like this. But we have had very few issues with ours, and most are just design points, not major failings. We've had it (and used it continuously - twice a day, every day) for over 16 months. We've had no warping lids, or cutting out early. And I can assure you everything that comes out is sterile - it vents a gentle stream of steam from the top while it does it's work. If you are brave enough to lift things out at the end of the cycle, you'll know they are sterile - they are very hot and if you load it correctly, all the parts are well covered by the steam.

First off, yes the element plate will get limescaled. If your kettle gets it, so will this. We filter our water (using regularly replaced brita cartridges) and both this and our kettle scale up. It's not hard to descale and Boots, Amazon and supermarkets all sell descaler suitable for sterilisers. I probably do it about once every 6 weeks and we live in a VERY hard water area (TT...
