Q: Can if fit more than one pacifier?
submitted by Sammy - 5 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 - 5 years agoA: Good morning, it is not recommended to use more than one pacifier at a time.

Loved This Until It Randomly Died

Thumbs down graphic, would not recommend
MomInKy - 15 days ago
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.

Genny - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
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

Cheyanne - 5 months ago
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

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.

Letsreview - 1 year ago
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.

Gabriela - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
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.

Sucks - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
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

Olson33 - 1 year ago, Verified purchaser
It’s hard to tell if it’s working or not when it’s on. Comes with a nice strap to hook onto diaper bag but it’s kind of bulky when it hangs there. Make sure to have batteries on hand, we weren’t able to get ours to work with just the charge alone. For new parents I would say this isn’t a must have but it’s nice to have on hand when you’re in a pinch with a dirty pacifier without another option to wash

Great when you’re in the go or the pacifier is getting dropped all the time! Does only hold one pacifier at a time but it’s a quick one minute cycle.
