After reading other reviews:
1. this product is easy to use you just have to give yourself about 5 uses to figure out how much water equals the perfect temp with your type of bottle etc.
2. ventaire bottles: keep that extra towel handy to catch condensation
3. if you smell something burning - suggestion - is it a ventaire bottle? if it is... did you remove the nipple like the bottle says to? if you don't remove the nipple, formula leaks back through the valve thing while heated and thus gets burned in the machine causing the nasty smell. also... if you have any residue on your bottle like soap - the steaming of the warmer will make it drip into the heating mechanism and you will get that burned smell as well.
4. this thing isn't as fast as a microwave of course but you know you won't get dangerous hot spots in your formula while using the warmer - unlike the microwave which has landed many babies to the ER with scalded mouths. the machine takes about 3 minutes - so about as long to change a diaper and exchange some kisses with the baby.
5. our baby exists on a different floor than our fridge so the storage compartment that keeps your premade bottles cold on the back is quite handy.

I love how the cooler keeps bottles cold and doesn't leave condensation on the dresser top, like our old cooler. It comes with two vials for water, so you don't even have to fill that in the middle of the night! We empty the vial of water into the chamber, put in the bottle and turn it on. Simple! By the time we grab baby, the bottle is warm. There is no pacing the hallways or trying to convince him to be patient. It does take less water than the chart states to heat a cold Drop-In (we use 4 instead of 6), but they do say you need to adjust the amount of water depending on the results. Play with it during the day before going to bed. That way you'll have it worked out BEFORE baby cries! There's even an on/off switch on the cord, so you don't have to look at the nightlight all night. :-) I wish we had gotten it sooner! You can get spare parts on the playtex website including more vials for the steaming water. This is helpful if you have to get up more than once in the night.

I bought this item because my newborn won't take cold bottles. This product works great and fast. The only drawback is you have to be very carefull not to get the bottle too hot which is very easy to do. If you put too much water the milk will be so hot. We just stand there and watch it and test it every once in a while. It is so fast; usually just a minute or 2. It takes a lot longer with regular bottles. I use the drop ins and it takes no time at all.

I registered for this and received it for my baby shower. I currently breastfeed, but pump to let my husband feed the baby during the day. This bottle warmer is awesome! it heats 4 oz of breastmilk in about a minute (I use the Dr Browns 4oz bottles). It heats to the perfect temp, as long as you use the correct amount of water, and only take the bottle out once the light goes off. It does get the bottle covered in condensation, but the steam is what warms the bottle, so if you keep a towel nearby, you can just wipe it off. We tried warming a bottle the old fashioned way, and this is way better and worth the money!

I didn't buy a bottle warmer for a long time. I used hot water in a coffee mug to warm the bottles but it was taking too long and a big waste of water. I finally gave in and bought this warmer and wish I had done so sooner. Its fast and uses little water (about a tablespoon). I warm the bottles (all sizes from standard to Avent bottles) while I change him and its ready. It also warms baby food jars from Earth's Best to the plastic rectangle ones from Gerber. I wish there was a place to put the water measuring cup...it just sits on the counter next to the warmer which makes it easy to lose.

Very convenient for night feedings! Heats bottles in what seems like less than one minute. Was a little tricky to figure out at first, only because it was so easy, and I thought there has to be more to it. All you do is use the pre-measured water containers, put water in the bottle warmer chamber, put the bottle in the baskets provided, click the little button in the front, and that's it!

I received this item as a shower gift, and I thought I would use it all of the time. It's great if you want to warm bottles quickly and want the convenience of keeping bottles nearby during the night. However, the side vials for storing water aren't the easiest to get the proper amount of water for warming the bottle. It warms quickly, but not quickly enough to sooth a crying baby fast. I found it was easier to get my son used to room temperature bottles. We stopped warming after two weeks of having him home from the hospital. They didn't warm the bottles in the hospital so it wasn't something he was missing.

This has come in handy for warming my bottles, and I am looking forward to seeing how it does when my son starts solid foods. It heats to just the right temperature (never too hot), and has the versatility to heat a variety of sizes of bottles. My only issue has been that if you use Dr. Brown's bottles with this, it needs a little extra TLC to heat properly. Essentially, you need to be sure you heat the bottle with the collar and nipple twisted loose (not tight), or the contents will drizzle out of the sides of the collar as the bottle warms. I think its probably something to do with the pressure created by the tube in the middle of Dr. B's bottle, but it took several occurrences of spilled and burning formula for me to figure out that was the culprit. Otherwise, this is a keeper.

I bought this bottle warmer for my son and his wife. My son said it warms the bottle in about a minute and a half, which they love. They can't use glass bottles in it because it heats so well, it overheats too fast in glass. But they really use it constantly, so I'm counting it as a success story.
