Dr. Brown's Electric Bottle Warmer

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

I was a little hesitant to purchase this bottle warmer due to some of the reviews but it had the best rating of all bottle warmers. I am very happy with my purchase. The bottle warmer is very easy to use, does a great job and is easy to clean. I have used the 4 oz Dr. Brown bottles and 8 oz wide neck Dr. Brown bottles with no problems. I also use it to sterlize pacifiers. While there are several reviews mentioning leaking into the warmer, I have not had that problem. I unscrew the bottle half a turn as the instructions tell you to do and have had no leaking. The warmer is also very easy to move around and travel with. I would absolutely recommend this product to other parents.

I used our Dr. Brown's bottle warmer for about 12 uses and then it broke. Overall I haven't loved any of the Dr. Brown's products - the bottles tend to leak quite a bit as well. I was very unhappy with this purchase.

We have used this product with breastmilk and then whole milk bottles. It does a good job of heating the milk. It is not easy to clean and milk does sometimes leak from the bottles after they have bene heated.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

At first I this seemed to be a good buy. I could feel comfortable about leaving breastmilk in the refigerator for my husband to warm up to feed the baby. Then after only a few uses, doing everything the same, milk began to leak out of the Dr. Brown's Wide Mouth bottles we use. We would lose about an ounce or more when this happened. It was not only annoying, but we lost so much milk. It was also very difficult to clean the reservoir that would fill up with milk. When we heated up bottles in smelt like spoiled milk becuase I couldn't get it all the way clean. Have discontinued use and have gone back to heating water and using a water bath to heat the bottles while I search for another one.

We had high hopes and at first loved this product. No need to refill each time and once you have the time set you just hit the button for easy, even heating. We also used it to quickly sterilize pacifiers.
We had problems with leaking almost instantly. The blue water reservoir would sometimes pop out from the top and hang loosely but we'd just push it back in. The water would leak from the area where the blue reservoir rests in the warmer. I noticed that it did this most when it was getting low (but not always) so I tried to keep it full and tried to overlook that flaw.
I cleaned this machine exactly as instructed in the book but within a few months of use noticed a build up of black at the bottom. The blue reservoir would also get a grime in it that was VERY difficult to get to. I would basically rinse and rinse and shake and try to get that out. I eventually began cleaning it more often and using more vinegar then suggested but to no avail. After about 8 months of use the product began to smell despite my frequent cleanings. It was becoming more of a pain to keep the machine clean.
We eventually pitched it and started using a brita filter on the counter (with room temp water) that didn't need heated when mixed with formula. I will do the same with future kids and avoid any need for heating bottles.

I am done with warming bottles on the stove. I should have had this from the beginning. Don't warm breast milk in the microwave ever. Use this.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

WE LOVE the Dr. Brown's Bottle Warmer! Heats the bottles consistantly every time, and the water reservoir is very convenient.

We initially purchased at different bottle warmer at my brother's recommendation, but it was inconsistent and created more work than boiling water.

I would recommend this Dr. Brown's Bottle Warmer to anyone.

I used this to warm bottles/jars in the hotel room while on vacation. I owned a previoud bottle warmer that was so much hassle that I gave it away. This bottle/jar warmer on the other hand is great. You don't have to fill with water each time which makes it super convenient. I actually had tp purchase a bottle while on vacation and used this warmer to sterilize the bottle and nipple before giving it to my baby. Since it prooved to have multiple uses, I feel like I got a lot of bang for my buck.

My won't be on formula much longer. so I only wish I'd found this sooner.

I would suggest however, to test out the warm up times suggested to see what time will get the bottles/jars to the temperatures that you/your baby prefer.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

I received this warmer as a gift and I do not like it at all because it never warms the milk properly ... it is either too hot or cold!
I follow the instruction on the back but have no idea why it heats inconsistently.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

After spending hours of time and gallons of water warming bottles by holding them under running water (or placing them in a pot of hot water for long periods of time), I bought this product. It is absolutely fantastic. Including the 60-second cool down period, my 4-ounce bottles are warmed in about 5 minutes. Despite what some other reviews state, I have not had any problems cleaning the warmer. (Just be sure to half-twist the bottles open before warming as the instructions indicate, and you won't have to worry about and milk/formula getting into the warmer.)

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

Product recommends a 2 minute heat up for small bottle but does the job in closer to 4 mins. A little frustrating in the middle of the night...

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

Very easy to use...once you find the right time it remembers and heats evenly.... Very easy to adjust the time up/down...make sure you loosen the lid or keep nipple off to avoid pressure build up/leaking

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

I heat my wide-neck, plastic bottles in this every day. I have recently started to use glass bottles and have not had any problems with breakage. For me, the heating is consistent every time and I only change the heating time when I change the amount of liquid in the bottle.

My only two complaints are that 1)even though this is a Dr. Brown's product, the 8-oz wide-neck bottles just barely fit in the receptacle and 2)It is somewhat difficult to clean thoroughly--I wish the electric parts were more protected from water.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

I have no complaints about this bottle warmer. I have a 3 month old and have found that having a bottle warmer is really convenient. I'm ordering a second one for the grandparents' house. This was the second bottle warmer I've tried and I really like that the instructions are easy to follow and that bottles are ready to go in about 2-3 minutes. Also, it's a real plus that you don't have to add water each time you heat a bottle or worry about how much water to add.

Comments about Electric Bottle Warmer:

On the whole I've been really happy with this bottle warmer and am kicking myself for not getting it sooner. There are just so many gadgets available when you first have a baby it's hard to know what you really need and what is just extra stuff. Now I know I needed this! I hated how much water we were wasting running it until it was hot to warm bottles all the time.

My only issues with this warmer are that it can be tricky to find the right heating time when you use a mix of room temp & refrigerated milk, so I am constantly adjusting the timer. The other thing that isn't so great is that after the timer counts down it will let the bottle rest for 60 seconds before it beeps at you. If you leave the bottle in there the whole time it's still steaming for 60 seconds, so it will get hotter than you want. These two things just require a little trial and error to work out, otherwise this thing is great. If you're doing multiple bottles in a row (I do since I have twins) it pro-rates the time for the second bottle since the unit is already heated up. So the second bottle goes faster, which is great. I like that feature a lot!
