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

Heats up a bottle nicely. Not too hot just room temperature. Easy to clean. White. Has a dial on the front that shows if it’s almost done heating. Does take a little while to warm bottle but that’s understandable. Doesn’t make glass bottles too hot to hold!

Fast, Reliable, and a Lifesaver for Late-Night FeedsThe Philips Avent Premium Fast Bottle Warmer has been a game-changer for us! It warms bottles quickly and evenly — no hot spots — and it’s super easy to use, even when you’re half-asleep during those 2 a.m. feedings.I love the defrost function and how it works with different bottle brands, not just Philips Avent. The design is sleek and doesn’t take up much counter space. It also shuts off automatically, which is a nice safety feature.If you’re a new parent looking for a fast and dependable bottle warmer, this one is absolutely worth it. We use it every day and couldn’t be happier.

Man oh man, when I was putting together a baby registry I was nervous about this item. There had been so many food reviews but also so many bad ones. I look left and right to compare similar products and even though other brands’ may be cheaper, they have sooooooo many buttons to press just to hear a bottle of milk. Like who’s gonna be content pressing so many buttons in the morning when the baby is hungry? It just seems inefficient. You might save money buying other baby warmer but you lose time with feeding your baby and perhaps potential frustration that can be prevented.So far, the product is really easy to use. Plug in, adjust to wanted temp, press start. Wait for full circle of light to indicate it’s done, press again to shut off. Simple, and works well.The only thing that takes practice and getting use to, that I don’t always enjoy is filling up the water to the same line of milk in the bottle. It’s kinda hard to see the line match up perfectly. If Phillips can add a viewing window for water line that would make this product even more useful.Highly recommend!!

This review is not to add nor subtract from other reviews, which are confirmed and validated by us. This is a very fast bottle warmer, but does not automatically enter warming sustaining mode. However, since it is extremely fast, with warming bottled water to drinkable warm temperature in under 2 minutes, one can watch the dial indicator showing the warming process (rotating LED light circling around the bottle size dial) and rotate the dial to the sustaining position (furthest dial counterclockwise position) to enter sustain mode.This warmer does not have adjustable temperature settings nor does it provide a temperature display, however, taking a reading after the bottle was warmed indicated that he warmed temperature to be 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit which is an acceptable temperature for most babies. It would be better if there were a way to set the temperature as babies’ preferences can vary.Otherwise, for the price and method of heating, this is a good alternative for a bottle warmer.

Got this as a registry gift and while I do really like it, I will put it out there that it actually really does heat up the bottles really quickly which is what I wanted but I have started setting it to one setting below the amount of milk I am heating up because if not it tends to come out a little too hot and then I have to wait to give it to my baby until it cools a bit. Not too bad but if you have a greedy little one like me, she does not like to wait hahahah. So for example if I am heating up a 4 oz bottle I set the heat setting to a 3 oz and that seems to work perfectly for us. I have been using it for about 5 months now and it still works great. My only reason for 4 stars is the learning curve with the heat settings. Other than that it’s great, very sleek and small and fits great on my counter.

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.
