Philips Avent iQ Electronic Bottle and Baby Food Warmer

I've nursed both of my babies, but there have been occasions when I've pumped bottles for a sitter or family member and left them in the fridge. Since I have an AVENT pump, I figured the AVENT warmer would be compatible with my AVENT bottles. I've used it a few times with satisfactory results. My main complaint is that the buttons are difficult to press while holding a baby. Since the buttons are somewhat set into the display it takes a little bit of pressure for it to turn on.

I plan on using this warmer with baby food in the next few years. The only downside is that most of the baby food containers now come in square plastic containers instead of the glass bottles (which would fit in the warmer).

I'm not sure that being "digital" makes it any better than your average bottle warmer. I owned one with my first baby that was about a quarter of the price and I think it worked just as well. I DO like that you can select between freezer, fridge, or room temperature. That is much easier than having to pull out the reference sheet on my previous warmer to figure out how much water/how long. It certainly looks fancy.

This bottle warmer is the perfect fit for our needs. It warms a bottle from room temperature in literally about 1 minute from power on. It has specific settings for warming up from room temperature, refrigerated, and frozen. And it is smart enough to know how long it needs to warm based on the amount of liquid in the bottle.

It also is very small and portable. It is small enough to easily fit on the counter in a little space. Also, it only uses 1 ounce (a shot) of water to run the warming process.

This warmer is much more convenient and FASTER than having to heat water either on the stove or in the microwave. Don't waste your time with that nonsense and use this product. You will not regret the expense.

This product also warms baby food, but as my daughter is just 5 weeks old, we have not used that feature yet.

I HIGHLY recommend this product!!

The salient points are -

1.) This is a product of good utility as it is automatic.
2.) It checks for input temperature and the MAGIC lies in that you just set the options and leave, before the appliance tells you that the job is done.
3.) You can use the options intelligently to adjust the final temperature you want. For e.g. If you want it warmer, just set the volume of the fluid setting higher than the actual amount so the warmer heats a little more. This feature is especially useful to warm different kinds of foods at different temperatures.
4.) There is still one thing that needs to be done almost every time, which is to fill the warmer with water according the quantity of food be heated. 30ml water per oz of food. This is because the food is steam heated.
5.) It is pricy at 59. Ideally it is worth only 30 but still a good utility product.

I am a new mom and stay home to take care of my little girl. We recently purchased this product and it has literally been a extra set of hands when it comes to feeding my little girl. I would struggle warming her bottle on the stove and trying to hold my crying baby (because she so hungry) and check the bottle and make sure it doesnt over heat because then it would take a little longer to cool down. The directions are so easy and clear and to the point. It warms the bottle in 2 minutes and is perfect, and ready to go! I dont know why the other moms did not enjoy this product... if you want your bottle warmer I learned that if your bottle is at room temp than put setting on chilled and if its chilled put it on frozen. As far as measuring water just use an empty bottle and go. Little tricks and playing will save you grief! Just be a realistic and dont expect the warmer to work miracles. Avent is a great company and has GREAT products! I will continue using the products they have. I honestly dont know how you can go wrong. Some may think its pricey but when you think how much you'll use and how much time and headaches it will save you the price will not seem as that much. The bottle warmer does everything my daughter and I need and want it to do... Warm the bottle fast without it being confusing or difficult (you push a couple buttons and its off, total time is probably 3 minutes)

This expensive so called "top of the line" very large gadget is nothing but a HOT-POT with a built in Timer. You'd do better to buy a cheap bottle warmer and a timer. Bottle warmers are all the same. They boil, they heat and you still have to know when to take them out of the warmer. AT this kind of expense this warmer should deliver something different but all it gives is a facade of lights moving up and down. A barely audible beep. Extremely difficult to manipulate with a baby in one arm. It has 2 switches that you must press 3 seconds each to get it to work. First button means low, medium & high. Why not say that instead of the idiot icons that you have to scroll through. They use a house, a frig, a snowflake. The must think new parents are idiots. 2nd button is nothing but a glorified timer which they lead the comsumer to think that its hi technology that weighs the bottle and it adjust the time the bottle needs to be warms. Their discription was intentionally misleading. You have to set it yourself and instead of seconds to minutes, it has numbered ounces that you must chose from so you dont have a clue how long its going to take. If we knew how long the warmer was going to heat then we could adjust it but as it is, all we can do is lower it from oz to oz. When you choose the # of oz's all you are doing is setting a timer and then you have to press the dang button down for 3 seconds for the warmer to begin. We've had the warmer for 4 days and are still trying to find the right settings just to get the bottle to where it will be the perfect temp. Every feeding its either still too chilled or burning hot.
