I breast fed my babies. But when they eventually moved onto the bottle, I washed them in hot soapy water, rinsed them in hot water and then boiled them in a pot on the stove for 10 to 20 minutes

Microwave ones are inexpensive (especially second hand) and are extremely simple to use.

I have heard of the microwave one and never the electric one so that must be a new product. I was very fortunate when I was pregnant my workmates got me the manual steriliser ( plastic square container “) and you need to buy the tablets with it . It was so handy as I had to bottle feed my two kids and used it for both of them. The only concern I have about the microwave is the radiation from the oven so not sure about that one . If all else fails the old fashion way is to boil the bottles in boiling water for a few minutes like what my mother used to do for all four of us .

First pregnancy, we had an electric one, it was expensive but I loved it.
Second pregnancy, we bought a microwave one, was so much cheaper and did the same job. Wish I had just saved the money and bought a microwave one the first time around

I only used my electric one but loved it!

Both work well,
I have a microwave one and I found that fine, but wouldn’t knock back and electric one if I had the opportunity,

I use electric but only cause I had it given to me but I love being able to have everything together I one tub out the way I don’t think there would be much difference they all do the same thing

Tommee tippee electric steriliser is the best

i use electric but boiling them in hot water for 5 minutes work just as well. i don’t like the thought of using the microwave because of the chemicals that come off the plastic in the bottles.

Electric, did you know microwaves are banned in Germany, google and find out why and you will never use one ever again, trust me!

Could you look at hiring one? I have heard this can be quite handy! I’ve never used bottles so cannot give an opinion either way

Hey there. I personally would recommend microwave as they are so easy and quick to use !! Good luck.

I’m using a microwave steriliser for my 14 week old. We got the closer to nature one for $34 on sale. It’s does 4 at once and only takes 4 mins so quick and easy even my husband can do it!! Hehe!!

i use a microwave one i find it to be great, and cleans fine. and so much cheaper then an electric

I used an electric one in hospital and have a microwave sterilizer at home, not much of a difference really, both work as well as each other, both require the same amount of cleaning. The only bonus is that the microwave one is by far cheaper.

Microwave ones work just as well but electric ones are convenient if you have the bench space

I really liked the microwave one:)

My preference was electric because I don’t like using a microwave much. But I’ve heard microwave ones are just as effective.

we really like the microwave one

I found my microwave steriliser excellent – fast, easy to use, and effective.
