We got tired of boiling the baby bottles and parts on the stovetop. In 4 minutes, you can have everything sterilized and ready to use for baby. Our third child developed thrush, this product came in very handy to quickly sterilize bottles and nipples. Very easy to use and clean - with 3 young children - that's awesome! http://store.philips.com/store?Action=DisplayProductDetailsPage&Locale=en_US&SiteID=rpeusb2c&productID=123492200
