A: Yes, you can squeeze extra pacifiers in, which makes the sterilizer double as a convenient carrying case; however, the UV light only works to disinfect the surfaces that are actually exposed to the light, so probably only one pacifier can be sterilized at a time (it only takes a minute per cycle).
submitted byJlee - 6 years ago
A: Good morning, it is not recommended to use more than one pacifier at a time.

Useful but Flimsy
For something that is made to travel, it is not durable enough to cross my living room. The top piece that covers the batteries broke within a day. No dropping, no traveling, just from setting it down on the wrong side. Now everyone we touch it the cover pops off and is very frustrating. Does a good job for sterilizing but not as practical as advertised.

Works great, every parent should have one!
Got this as a gift for a new baby in the family so I haven’t used it directly but the parents I gave it to say it’s fantastic. I am a mom and I would’ve loved to have had something like this when my kid used a paci. They’re constantly dropping them and most times you have nowhere to wash it and pacifier wipes are expensive for the small packs you get. This is compact and portable as well as rechargeable and uses UV to sanitize so you don’t need to carry any solution or soaps. Great value for the money, it was very inexpensive for being a baby item, they’re almost always overpriced!

It works! please read the instructions!!
if you're wanting this to work on the go, you have to put batteries in it. if you dont want it on the go and just want to use it at home, you can plug it into a wall but you can't do both unless batteries are rechargeable. the light will show red when charging or with batteries in it at first and then when you place a pacifier in it, you press the button and it will blink. once the blinking is done its been sterilized. When its sleeping the light will go off. the instructions come with a tiny paper that says munchkin on it and its supposed to show you how it works.

Didn’t work out of the box. Fully charged, light indicates charging, but won’t turn on. Didn’t come with an instruction book or sheet; may have been a returned/unboxed item.

It works i swear!!
So I was ignorant and thought I, like many of the other reviewers also thought, got a defective product that will not charge. Turns out I just failed to read the instructions to find that the product operates on 3 AAA batteries or can be used with a power cord. It’s not rechargeable and the cord is not a charging cord! Once we got through that hiccup, it’s a great product that works as described!

Waste of money
Was so excited when I saw this. Immediately bought it, then charged it. I took it with me to a restaurant and it didn't work. Don't waste your money on this item.

Loved This Until It Randomly Died
We were gifted one of these off our baby registry. We loved it. It lasted less than a year and then randomly just stopped working. Bummer! We won’t be replacing it. Doesn’t seem worth it.

Only works when plugged in even if you have brand new good quality batteries in it.
I’m here to say that if the things works for you with just batteries, then you are lucky. This only works when connected to USB… Technically it is portable if you bring the usb core with you.

Its great, these reviews are bogus
Yall are all crazy. This thing is extremely easy to use IF you read the instructions the first time you use it. Also it says literally in the instructions that the USB plug does NOT charge the device it simply just turns it on, you need batteries for on the go and obviously the usb isn’t gonna “charge” your batteries if they die. You have to change the batteries. All of these reviews are user error not anything wrong with the device. I love this thing and use it daily, BUY IT!! Just read the freaking instructions

Is it really working ?
I bought this as a first time mom because I wanted to make sure my son's pacis were clean and sterilized. This is super confusing to use. Only works when plugged in and I feel like it's not really doing anything.
