Product Description

The Philips Avent SCF281/05 Microwave Steam Sterilizer kills 99.9% of germs and bacteria in just 2 minutes. It operates at a higher temperature than dishwashers, using the power of the microwave oven to create natural steam. Measuring just 6.54 tall by 11.07 inches long, it is small enough to fit in most microwave ovens. Its compact, lightweight design makes it ideal for use when traveling. Safety clips keep the lid securely fastened to the base, and side grips stay cooler than the rest of the sterilizer for safe handling in and out of the microwave. At full capacity, the Microwave Steam Sterilizer holds up to four 9 ounce or two 11 ounce Philips Avent bottles. An interior rack can also hold two Philips Avent breast pumps (non-electrical parts only) and up to four breast milk storage cups with lids. You can also use it to sterilize pacifiers, non-metal utensils and other microwave-safe baby items. If the lid is unopened, contents will remain sterile and ready for their next use for up to 24 hours. The Philips Avent Microwave Steam Sterilizer is BPA free.

Faster than air drying

Faster than air drying
This sterilizer is compact and fits really nicely on our single sink vanity in the bathroom, keeping us from having to go downstairs to the kitchen for clean bottles. We set up a “bottle cleaning station” upstairs in our townhome and this has been a great time saver for making sure bottles are dry and ready to go again.Our system is to rinse the bottles after feeding, put them on the drying rack, then hand wash, rinse, and put into the sterilizer/dryer once there’s a full load. The only drawback is you have to run the dryer setting a few times to make sure everything is fully dry, but it’s still way faster than using a dishwasher (which won’t get them dry anyway) or air drying.

Reviewed in Canada on May 7, 2021
I've had this for just over a week and wanted to give it a good try before reviewing. I'm very happy with this steam sterilizer. The size is great, you can fit a ton of stuff in here and having the 2 compartments to use allows you to set it up for whatever you're needing to sterilize. If you need to store on your counter it looks nice, sleek and clean. If it needs to be stored in a cupboard being able to take it apart into the 3 sections allows for easy storage (I put the smaller compartment on the base and store the bigger compartment beside it). The instructions were a bit overwhelming at first since it's all pictures but it makes sense if you look at them with the unit in front of you, I do wish the breakdown of what each symbol on the power button meant was at the begining of the instructions I feel that would have helped make it easier to understand right away. The 130ml of water needed is a rather odd number, its easy enough to measure out on the bottle but most bottles have the ounces marked so 120ml would be a better number for ease of use as it's more obviously marked on bottles.
When the unit is running the sterilization setting its so quiet you forget it's even running. The dryer setting is a bit louder but still very quiet. And the time frame for running a sterilize and dry is very fast. I much prefer popping everything into this unit than taking the time to boil on the stove and end up dripping all over the counter when emptying.
The only 3 things I've noticed that are negatives. The seals for my pump don't dry all the way inside the rim so I have to give them a quick dry when they come out. There will be a bit of residual water left in the unit so you need to dump it out and quickly wipe the 2 chambers and the base to dry it. And the included tongs are basically useless. They are far too small and if you're trying to get things out when it's hot your hand is basically in the unit. I prefer just using my normal kitchen tongs. But half the time I don't use tongs at all so it's really not a big negative.
This unit is a massive time saver and is so easy to use. I feel it's worth every penny and would recommend it to anyone looking for a sterilizer with dry function.
