Tommee Tippee Essentials 2 in 1 Cold Water and Microwave Baby Bottle Steriliser, 4-Minute Sterilisation Cycle

Product Information

When the sterilising cycle is finished, either remove contents and use immediately or leave the lid closed and contents will remain sterile for up to 24 hours. This brilliant 2-in-1 option from Milton gives you the best of both worlds, with the option to either microwave or cold-water sterilise your baby’s bottles. The BPA-free tub is somewhat bulky but it’s lightweight, with a strong and sturdy carry handle that makes it an excellent choice for trips away when a microwave might not be readily available. Much like the brand’s cold-water option, the solution in this steriliser will also remain sterile for up to 24 hours, allowing you to conveniently use throughout the day or store overnight ready for the next morning.

One method is to use a unit that plugs straight into the mains, while others can be placed in the microwave to heat up. Another clever and easy technique, which takes around 3-6 minutes, is to use microwave bags. This is perfect for those times you might be travelling (although you do have to find a microwave). How do I use a cold water system?

Customer reviews

Since babies have such fragile immune systems, they’re more susceptible to stomach-related illnesses, so it’s important to wash bottles with soap and warm water before sterilising them. Warm milk, in particular, can be a breeding ground for nasty germs, so washing them first will ensure any remaining milk bacteria is eliminated. With so much on their plates, all parents really want is simple-to-use, good-value products that just work – and the Tommee Tippee microwave steriliser couldn’t get any easier. The unit steams feeding equipment in the microwave in around four minutes, keeping items sterile for 24 hours. The kit includes a dummy and teat tongs, and the steriliser can fit around four bottles inside, alongside a few smaller items such as dummies and feeding spoons. We appreciate the clear instructions that are easy to follow, like putting water into the base at the “MAX” line and putting the steam plate on top. There’s even a light beeping sound to alert you when the bottle is done warming, but it’s not loud enough to disturb a sleeping baby. Change the filter regularly, you can replace using the spare filter sponge provided and reusing filters by rinsing with warm water and allowing to air dry.

Electric Steriliser for Your Baby Bottles | Tommee Tippee UK

Plug into the power, press the on/off button then select the function you wish to use – sterilise only, dry only, auto sterilise and dry or storage function. I just prefer the cold water one as it's really convenient as all you have to do is add the water and he tablet and then you can keep adding things in and taking out as you need for 24 hours. This baby bottle steriliser is chemical-free and sterilises your bottles and baby feeding accessories using 100% natural steam and therefore leaves no nasty residue. Simply pour 200mls of water into the base, place baby bottles and other feeding accessories into the tray, replace the lid securely and pop in the microwave. Wash items you want to sterilise in warm soapy water, rinse and drain before placing in the steriliser. Don’t put dripping wet items into the steriliser, as water can gather at the base. If there is water at the base or leaking from the steriliser, please turn off the machine and wipe away water.

So we bought the Tommie tippiee one because I knew it could be a cold water steriliser if it didn't fit in the microwave.

Baby sterilisers have come a long way, especially in the past five years. The three main types of sterilisers are steam units (which can be used electronically or in the microwave), cold-water systems, and UV light sterilisers. Some have two tiers, while others are combination sterilisers suitable for both microwave and cold-water sterilising.
