I love this item it is great. I love it's portability and I do not have a huge mess to clean up after I have sterilized all the bottles, like with most electric sterilizer's. I also like the fact that their are spaces for the bottles so you don't have to fuss with a strainer. I have two children and my six year old is always into things so I like the idea of storing it away on a shelf out of reach. Also the sterilizer basket is also a great accomidation to the perfect portions strainereven though it is the oldfasion way of sterilizing, but quick and easy to lift the basket and take the bottles and nipples out rather than chasing them in a hot pot of water and getting burned. If I was asked wheather or not to buy this item or not I would have to say... YES THIS IS A GREAT ITEM!!
