Hope you don't mind me poping in from 2nd Tri, my BIL has offered to get us our steriliser and I am looking for a bit of advice.

Which would you recommend between electric or microwave?

I have more or less decide that Tommie Tippie is the make that I want.
 
Personally I'd go for microwave. There's less to go wrong, cheaper to buy, easier to clean, easier to store/sell/give away without worries later on.
 
I have microwave, no problems for me. It's the Tommee Tippee one xx
 
I've had nothing but trouble with my electric one and have swapped to a microwave one I bought for trips away.
Personally I think the microwave one is better- more waterand a longer time must kill more bacteria!!

Also I know it's not what you are asking but if I had my time again I'd have gone straight for dr browns bottles...
 
with the majority here...microwave sterilizer all the way :thumbup:

I have an Avent microwave sterilizer. Although i dislike Avent bottles as they leak non stop.... I LOVE the sterilizer. Never had a problem with it.. As someone else mentioned, its easier to store, its cheaper and less can go wrong with it!

i also had the micro wave one :)
agree on the dr brown bottles tho..i was using tommee tipee but dr browns have been an absolute life saver!x
 
i have the TT electric, but im buying a TT microwave one next week as iv had loads of problems with the electric one xxx
 
microwave looks like the winner. Thanks to all for your replies.
 
i have a microwave steraliser at my house an electric one at my mums that my aunty gave us and a cold water steraliser one and of all 3 i prefer the microwave one as it is much easier to clean...

sorry to hijack the thread but can i ask if Dr Brown's bottles fit in TT closer to nature microwave steraliser xx

Yes they do!! I can 3 in easily and 4 with a bit of juggling about but as I have 6 dr browns bottles I usually just do 3 at a time. They do touch the lid as they are bigger than TT bottles but it does close fairly easily.
In the instructions it tells you how to load it if you are using the TT anti-colic bottles so I just roughly follow that!
