We have an Avent microwave steriliser (version 2 I think?) and in our microwave it only takes 2mins so is very quick. I think the amount of time depends on the wattage of your microwave.
We bought ours when Farmers had a 30% off nursery equipment sale but I know at the moment KiwiBaby have 20% off avent.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:57:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=183213&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#183213 <![CDATA[Sterilisers- steam or microwave? : We have one (but I only use 1...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=183051&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#183051 Author: mummy_becks

We have one (but I only use 1 bottle a day I don't need to use it) but for Andrew who was fully bottle fed the microwave steriliser was great.

I used a microwave one and loved it. This time round I actually brought self sterilising bottles and they were fantastic. I could do as many at a time that i wanted rather than waiting till the steriliser was full plus if i was out and got caught short it was easy to sterilise a bottle, just need water and a microwave]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:43:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=182880&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#182880 <![CDATA[Sterilisers- steam or microwave? : Great question - thanks for asking....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=182878&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#182878 Author: MummyFreckle

I use the electric Avent one and it's great. It only takes 6 minutes to sterilise 6 bottles and you can put the breast pump and dummies in too. It will keep stuff sterile for up to 12 hours which is handy if you don't make the bottles up all at once.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 10:22:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=182864&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#182864 <![CDATA[Sterilisers- steam or microwave? : Iused the microwave avent one...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9284&PID=182855&title=sterilisers-steam-or-microwave#182855 Author: AnnC
