Premium Fast Bottle Warmer, with Smart Temperature Control, Water Bath Technology, Automatic Shut-Off, Model SCF358

Got this as a gift and loved it so much that I bought a second one - one for upstairs and one for downstairs. It made nighttime feeds so much easier while I was recovering and didn’t want to go up and down the stairs. It warms the bottles really fast, usually within a few minutes, but you do have to take them out right away or they can get too hot. There’s no beep or chime when it’s done, just a light, so it’s easy to miss if you’re focused on the baby. I just used my phone timer to make sure I didn’t leave it in too long.

I am a fan of this brand! The sterilizer/dryer works great and this is the 2nd time I use it so obviously I had to buy this warmer for my second baby. My first took her milk cold but this one does not and this warmer has been amazing! Fast, easy to clean, easy to use. TBH I struggled at first cause I didn't read the directions so just read it and you'll be good. Plug, put in the bottle, add water as needed, select the oz, push button and wait for the light to stop blinking. Please check the bottle before the feed!!! I use glass bottles and if you leave them longer they heat up too much.

Works great Sometimes does overheat but check before you give the bottle to the baby

This is our second time buying this (for our second kid). It is easy to use, doesn’t require a lot of maintenance. In the middle of the night when you are super tired, it seems like it takes a long time to heat up, but I haven’t done any research to compare to other heaters to see if the timing is on par with other products. It is small and doesn’t take up a lot of space on the counter. When we bought the first one, I did notice that it stopped heating up consistently after about 6-7 months. I don’t know what the expected lifespan of the product is and if that is reasonable, but for the price, I was happy to get 6-7 months out of it (we used it a lot because our baby was only on bottles).

This is the perfect bottle warmer! I love the phillips brand so I ordered this right away! I was desperate for a bottle warmer and after much research this one was the one I chose! This was a great purchase! It is easy for traveling and when done easy for storage. It does not leak and it very sturdy and durable!

As a new parent, I’ve learned that anything that makes feeding time easier is worth its weight in gold. The Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer (Model SCF358) has quickly become one of those must-have tools in our household. With its smart temperature control, water bath technology, and automatic shut-off, it’s taken a lot of the stress out of warming bottles—especially during those bleary-eyed 3 a.m. wake-ups. Right off the bat, I was impressed by how simple it is to use. The design is sleek and compact, fitting neatly on our kitchen counter without hogging space. It’s got a straightforward dial interface with clear settings for different bottle sizes and starting temperatures (room temp, fridge, or frozen). No complicated buttons or menus to fumble with—just twist, press start, and go. The included guide gives you a rough idea of timing, like 3 minutes for a 5oz bottle from the fridge, which has been spot-on in my experience. The water bath technology is what sets this apart from the microwave method we used to rely on. It gently heats the milk or formula using warm water instead of direct heat, preserving nutrients and avoiding those dreaded hot spots that can burn a baby’s mouth. I’ve tested it with both breast milk and formula in our Avent bottles, and the results are consistently even—warm enough to satisfy my little one but never scalding. The smart temperature control keeps things steady, so I don’t have to hover and check it obsessively. Speed is another big win. It’s not instant (nothing safe should be), but it warms a 6oz bottle from the fridge in about 3-4 minutes, which feels like a miracle when your baby’s wailing. The automatic shut-off is a lifesaver too—once it’s done, it turns off on its own, so I can focus on soothing my kid instead of worrying about overcooking the milk. That feature alone has saved me from a few distracted mishaps. It works with more than just Avent bottles, which is handy. I’ve tried it with a couple of other brands we had lying around, and as long as they’re not too wide, it handles them fine. There’s even a defrost setting for frozen breast milk, which has been a clutch addition for our stash. Cleanup is a breeze—just empty the water after each use and wipe it down. Philips recommends descaling every few weeks with vinegar, which is simple enough to keep it running smoothly. There are a couple of small downsides. It’s not silent—the gentle hum of the heating element is noticeable, though it’s never bothered us much. Also, you need to add water manually each time (about a half cup), which isn’t a big deal but can feel like an extra step when you’re half-asleep. I wish it had a built-in water reservoir for multiple uses, but that’s a minor nitpick. Overall, the Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer has made our feeding routine so much smoother. It’s reliable, safe, and fast enough to keep both me and my baby happy. Whether you’re a first-time parent or just looking to upgrade your bottle-warming game, this little machine delivers where it counts. I own 2 of these now, one for upstairs and one for downstairs.

I’ve tried multiple brands of bottle warmers but this is by far our favorite. It does get dirty with the water inside but the warmer itself is really durable. We tried multiple major brands and we returned them all. I even got burned by another major brand. Other brands were way more flimsy and somewhat dangerous to operate but this one is easy to use and safe. We have two at home, one in the kitchen and one in the nursery.

This is a great warmer, but I think it's a little overpriced. $50 for a bottle warmer is a little overpriced in my opinion. We have this & it works, I've been using this daily for about a year now, but I have a few complaints. 1) it takes longer to warm up a bottle than it actually says. We do pitcher method for breastmilk & formula. Unfortunately, I can run a bottle through the warmer completely & it's still colder than my baby likes. Another issue, I have to turn the capacity up all the way for it still not to warm. I'm not talking about making it hot, just room temperature. At this point it makes better sense to put the bottle in the microwave. It's very frustrating especially when you have a crying baby. I also hate that I use this with multiple bottles wide & narrow & I never get the dr brown bottles (8oz narrow) warm. It takes even more to warm milk in those bottles because the warmer doesn't cover half of the bottle. It's rather frustrating especially since the dr brown bottles are very popular & my baby loves them. On to the pros. It is a small item so it doesn't take up an outrageous amount of counter space. It is also easy to put in a cabinet & hide away. I don't particularly find it super difficult to clean. You can wipe warmer down if something were to spill. It's really not a bad option, I just don't think it's worth $50 when there are other cheaper candidates.
