Avent Express Steam Steriliser is Easy to use and put the bits and pieces in but very slow, takes about 18 minutes, not the 8 minutes they like you to think. Okay, does the job, slowly

I know the Avent Express Steam Steriliser is supposed to be one of the best sterilisers out there, but I found that if I was in a rush and had forgotten to sterilise bottles and had crying baby it always took longer than the required 8 minutes, more like 15 minutes and then you couldn't man-handle the bottles straight away unless you wanted to burn your hands. I did always put the required amount of water in and even though it is not recommended put a little less water in to make it steralise quicker.
Perhaps for the organised, efficient mum this is an excellent steriliser but for the scatterbrained kind (me!) didn't find ideal and was glad to sell in car boot sale and now am expecting second any day and have purchased a steriliser more to my needs (or personality type).

According to another user, you needed to descale the Avent Express Steam Steriliser often; about every 4 weeks, otherwise, it would take longer to sterilize. Maybe that's what the problem was with yours. Just a thought.
