We use this more than the coffee pot. It is truly a must-have for any parent. They are getting harder to find as they seem to be moving toward the microwave models more, but our family much prefers the steam model. We use city water that has been run through one of the water jugs with the carbon filters instead of using distilled water, and have had no problems.

This is a terrific sterilizer. Quick and easy to use. You can do a quick clean or a more in depth sterilization. Perfect size for bottles, pump parts and pacis. Highly recommend! Overstock's prices can't be beat either.

I sent this sterilizer for my niece who gave birth on Sept. 3rd 08. when she received it she called me and said it was so big, after a week she said she loved it.
