What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
Listing details are inconsistent on material, naming both “Edelstahl” and “Stainless Steel”. The five-bottle capacity and fit in most microwaves are manufacturer claims, while customer feedback is mixed on size and lid durability. Check your microwave interior and bottle arrangement before buying. Follow the stated microwave instructions, including 200 ml water, items loaded upside down and a 2-minute cycle. Cold-water use requires 5 litres of water and one Milton tablet or 30 ml of sterilising fluid, followed by 15 minutes before use.

Included- Microwave bowls

Less suited to
- Buyers who need a compact steriliser without first checking its stated 26 cm by 26 cm footprint against their microwave or counter space.
- Buyers seeking customer feedback without reports of mixed lid durability and fit.

Customer feedback often describes the steriliser as easy to use and values having microwave and cold-water options. Capacity and sterilisation also receive positive mentions, but experiences with size vary, and lid durability and functionality are concerns. These reports matter if you plan to fit several bottles into a small microwave. The manufacturer’s five-wide-neck-bottle claim does not establish fit for every bottle or microwave.
