We got this as part of our Breastfeeding set. It came with a set of two 125 ml and 250 ml bottles with new born (extra soft) teats, a bottle warmer and Thermal bag for transport. The steriliser accommodates 6 bottles as well as breast pump. It sterilises in 8 mins and has 2 cycles with one of them that keeps the bottles sterilized for 24 hrs. It also comes with tongs and cleaning brush. It is very easy to use and does a good job in keeping the bottles sterilized and is very convenient. It is also easy to maintain and easy to clean up. However, it stopped working all of a sudden after one year (exactly after the warranty was finished). By then we had stopped sterilising for Anjalie, so we could not be bothered to pay Philips to come and repair. So we just chucked it. I would have expected better quality from Philips and for the price.
While it lasted, it was very helpful to keep all things sterilized for Anjalie including her dummies. It fit my Avent Isis Uno breast pump and still had more space to fit other weaning bowls in it which is great. In my opinion the tong is useless. It is so tiny that you will need a tong to pick this tong! It is a shame that it did not last longer.
The exact same thing happened with the Avent bottle warmer as well. Exactly 1 week after the warranty expired, it expired! While it was working it was convenient to warm up Anjalie's bottles. It fits both 125 ml and 250 ml Avent bottles. I never tried it to warm up solids since it can only be used with Avent product and I was using another weaning product. The buttons can be a bit cumbersome at times. It requires you to hold them down to choose the volume and sometimes the buttons can act up and not work at all. It is easy to clean and use though.
We have used both the bottle warmer and sterilizer regularly (every day) for a year. It is such a shame that they do not last longer than the warranty period!
