" ... I really like this bottle warmer excellent for all bottles but I use dr brown bottles with it it comes with bottle cap coverS for warming which is great! ... "
" ... We went through 3 different bottle warmers: the Tippie Tommie, The Munchkin (Target) brand, and now this one. ... "
" ... It is a good regular shape bottle warmer. ... So if you do not need to move it constantly and use a "regular shape" bottle, it is awesome, just not my case. ... "
" ... There is a beap to indicate when the bottle is ready ... "
" ... I love the size of the product as it doesn't take up much space. ... If you're using normal size bottles than this won't be an issue at all. ... "
" ... It last over a day when doing bottles every 2 hour's. ... "
" ... We've figured out that for us, a 4-5oz Dr. Browns bottle warms perfectly at 4:20, and a 6-7oz bottle we bump up to 5 minutes to 5:15! ... They include a cap to use on the bottles to warm them so you don't have to worry about it. ... "
" ... I like that a whole bottle can fit inside the whole warmer and it shuts it in at the top. ... "
