Q: Can if fit more than one pacifier?
submitted by Sammy - 6 years ago
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 agoA: Good morning, it is not recommended to use more than one pacifier at a time.

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.

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.

No use on first try
Plugged in light comes on but as soon as it's unplugged, Nothing. Got this as a baby shower gift and was excited to use but was disappointed. After reading reviews i see its an issue for other customers as well

Not essential
The idea is great but it was a waste of money. You don’t really have time for it to sit there and disinfect. It takes up space and also needs to be charged. It takes both batteries and wall socket but they both don’t charge the device. Thought that wasn’t very useful.

Good design and makes cleaning easy
If you’re like me and always dropping your baby’s pacifier when on the go, this is a great product. It’s easy to pop in your pacifier and sterilize quickly.

Its a no from me
This pacifier portable sterilizer was a disappointment. I found it difficult to use, and it only works when connected to electricity, which completely defeats the purpose of it being portable. I'm not sure if my unit is defective, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend this product.

Not good
Bought one cause the thought of it was so convenient in sterilizing paci and nipples but ends up not working within a couple times being used. Bought a second one cause I thought I got a defect one, but second one end up doing the same. Stopped working within 2 days of purchase. Wasted time and money smh
