mums who have tommee tippee steam steriliser ques

[cissyhope]

ladies my steriliser seems to be finishing its cycle too fast??! im sure it used to be about 7 mins,now it stops after 3ish mins!?? iv looked in my booklet and it doesn't say there isnt a number to call either
Think it must be broke (no blumming receipt either!) just wondered if the cycle is ment to run for 7 mins or have i made that up? if any one has the same sterilizer could you let me know? thanks x

 

[mummykins]

I have that one, it is three mins.

 

[Mrs Mayhem]

I thought mine went for 5 mins...... now I'm just unsure

 

[snowy-willow]

mine is 5 minutes

which one is yours? you could do a search online for it and see what it says

 

[MissBroody]

Mine went on for ages - like 7 minites? Now i'm not sure - I've never watched and waited to see! I hate this steamer though. Despite cleaning it all the time, its covered in limescale, and the orange light at the front is temperamental. xx

I think if there is too much or too little water it can go faster or slower x

 

[Sazzoire]

mine was 5 mins

I've never timed ours but I think it's about 5 mins - will set a stopwatch going next time and let you know xx

Thank everyone but didnt realise there were more than one steriliser mine is the electric steam steriliser and it does have an orange button light that turns off when the cycle is done hopefully iv made up the 7mins in my head but could have sworn it went longer than what it does now x

Mine seems to go longer sometimes too, and my button light doesnt work properly either xx

 

[snowy-willow]

mine is an electric steam steriliser with orange button and takes 5 minutes

Hiya, I could swear that I had exactly the same thing happen with mine! I was sure it was nearer ten mins to start with but now after about weeks it seemed to suddenly go to approx 5 mins! I'm sure when i checked online it said 5 mins so i wouldn't worry

Mine does the same and this is the second TT steam one I've had, the first I sent back to TT and they were good and replaced it but the new one seems to do the same. It works better after being de-scaled (I use vinegar). Google TT customer services and it'll give you an email address and phone number. I know they have replaced quite a few free of charge due to a faulty batch.

My light does nt work well either.

I the tt one I think it's five min, but have also noticed the limescale problem dives me nuts x

 

[Louppey]

I have this steriliser and the cycle length depends on how much water there is in the steriliser. I put in the water each time but have noticed there's always water left over from the last cycle which can elongate the cycle length. Normally it's quick though, 3 to 5 mins.

HTH

I've just timed mine and it is 3 minutes.

I empty and dry mine out after each use so there is only ever the recommended 80mls of water in there (so should take the same length of time each use) - I've not had a problem with limescale so far either xx

I had this steriliser at first. The cycle as around 6 or 7 mins then I noticed it getting shorter, then the light broke, then the whole thing broke! I looked online and it had some bad reviews but it was too late for me by then

I know have the Avent and thats been fine

3mins doesn't seem long enough to sterilise thoroughly

xx

I've just checked the tommee tippee website and it says it's a 5 minute cycle. I'm going to call their customer service dept tomorrow as I've only been using it 5wks.

I know there has been a faulty batch so hopefully, if it is faulty, they will replace it for me.

I had mine 3 weeks. I didn't know about the faulty batch though, I just took mine back to Asda (without the reciept) and they exchanged it for an Advent one x
