Mothercare Steam Steriliser

I bought this steriliser a few months before my daughter was born. She has just turned 6 months old and the plastic base in the steriliser has melted and fallen apart. I had noticed small cracks appearing but assumed as it was a steam steriliser and meant to get hot that it would cope with the heat.

I cannot believe that I am now having to go out and buy another steriliser and find it annoying that it has basically just fallen apart when I went to lift the bottles out. On top of that it has shattered some plastic so finely that it is now coating my bottles.

I would not recommend this one. We bought due to cost. I will now pay more for a good model that hopefully will last a bit longer!!

This is something that was bought for us as a present on the birth of our son by my sister in law. I wasn't too keen as I much prefered to use the old fashioned type of cold water steriliser, but decided to give it a go.

That one blew up on us, but that was most likely due to being stored for a year in a damp garage, so we got another Mothercare one as we'd been happy with it. They have now improved it, it now has a twist and lock lid, which I think is a great safety feature, and also the hot plate is now hidden at the bottom instead of being visible when the tray is lifted up, this makes it ...  Read the complete review

Having used a solution steriliser for my first child I decided to try a steam steriliser for my second. My reasons for this were that I couldtn see that it would be anymore tiresome and annoying than the other one. With a soltion sterliser you have to make sure that you constantly have enough solution, it will be useless without it if you run out. Also you have to constantly change the water and the bottles have to be in for at least 1 hour to be sterilsed. I always foundthat the bottles smelt rather tainted also fromt he solution. I used to wonder if my baby could taste that too.! So off we went to find a suitable sterilser and we went to ...  Read the complete review
