1 / 7Philips Avent SCF359/00 2-in-1 Bottle Warmer and Steriliser
Philips Avent SCF359/00 combines a bottle warmer and steam steriliser in one appliance. Its sensor is claimed to adjust warming time to the milk’s starting temperature, while the maker says a 150 ml portion of room-temperature milk in an Avent 9 oz Natural bottle warms in 3 minutes. Sterilisation capacity is limited to one bottle per cycle, so this is better suited to occasional small loads than processing several bottles together.

What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives conflicting capacity guidance: it says the attachment fits items up to 76 mm diameter and 173 mm high and one bottle per cycle, while the description also claims fit for bottles up to 330 ml, milk bags up to 180 ml and 250 g food jars. Breast pump parts are explicitly stated not to fit. Confirm compatibility and expected warming times for your containers. The stated 3-minute claim is for 150 ml of room-temperature milk in an Avent 9 oz Natural bottle. The maker recommends cleaning and descaling every 2–3 weeks, more often in hard-water areas.
Who is it for?

- Parents wanting a combined warmer and steriliser for one bottle at a time.

- People who prefer a warmer that claims to adjust timing based on starting temperature.
Less suited to
- Households that need to sterilise several bottles in one cycle.

The supplied evidence contains aggregate ratings but no customer-comment summaries. Ratings lean positive, with the distribution concentrated in the higher star categories, but this does not reveal why customers rated it that way or establish specific strengths or problems. For buyers, the clearest practical considerations remain the stated one-bottle sterilising capacity and the limited conditions attached to the 3-minute warming claim.
