submitted byMunchkin - 5 years agoBrand expertA:Â I actually went through the trouble of looking up the instructions and found depending on wattage you can microwave for 2, 4, or 6 minutes. The higher the wattage the lower the minutes.

Q: Can I use this to sterilize my medela bottles instead of using the medela steam bags?
A:Â Good afternoon, Christina. Most standard bottles (4oz-8oz) bottles will work with the Steam Guard Microwave Sterilizer. Note, only plastic bottles that are steam/boil safe and glass bottles that are thermo-resistant are to be used in the sterilizer.

Q: How many times can you use the munchkin before you would need to replace it?
A:Â I have been using it for over 2 years. Still works great!!!
submitted bygrammy - 7 years agoA:Â We have been using the sanitizer at least twice a day for 7 months and it is not showing any signs of damage (no cracked plastic, etc.). We make sure to follow the instructions and put the exact right amount of water and put it in the microwave for the right number of minutes. Varying from the instructions may cause damage faster.

Q: Hi there is there supposed to be water left in the steamer when it's done? And should bottles have a little water from steam in them after it is done?
A:Â Good morning. Yes, when the Munchkin Steam Guard Microwave Bottle Sterilizer is done, water will remain in the unit. After each cycle, drain excess water and wipe the unit dry to prevent limescale buildup. The bottles will also have a little water from the steam after it is done.
