I bought this bottle warmer simply for the cost and I will never do that again. The water reservoir leaks all over the counter. The directions say not to overfill but the reservoir drains the water into the warmer on its own so there should be no user error. And since the water "drains as needed" from the reservoir into the warmer, you should never have to place water in the warmer directly. There is no light or anything to tell you when to add more water but you never know what is in the warmer part. Many times in the middle of warming a bottle for 4 minutes, the water will run out and if you are not standing over the warmer (God forbid you have a baby you are getting into pajamas while the bottle warms) you will only know by the horrible smell that occurs when the water is empty and yet the burner keeps burning, hence burning the bottom of the bottle. And other times, you will pull the bottle out of the warmer (the handy basket part doesn't hold a bottle bigger than 4oz so you are using your hands to pull it out) the nipple and bottle are burning hot and yet the liquid is cold. I read the other reviews just now and I sure wish I would have looked on here before I bought this product. And I certainly wouldn't have bought 5 of these. I will be throwing this one out and buying a new brand altogether.

I've read these reviews and can't figure out why people don't like this. My wife and I received it as a baby shower gift and we use it multiple times a day. If you use common sense and check the water level through the somewhat transparent water reservoir you should never run out of water halfway through warming your bottles. Also yes it does get the bottle and lid and nipple hot, use a towel to pick it up. It's not that hard to do. We absolutely love this thing as it saves time at 4am as opposed to warming under warm water.Read Best Reviews of Munchkin Time Saver Bottle Warmer, White Here

water tank is way too smallonly does about 4-5 bottles on setting of 2 minutes
(it doesn;t leak if you do it right)
warming is variable
the longer you leave it in [after the bell rings] the warmer it gets
it can easily get too hot just sitting there if you walk off and forget
this is when you have it set to warm correctly assuming you are there and pull it out immediately
also less milk means it gets warmer
milk from frig takes longer to warm than if it was room temp to start with
so you kind of either have to do everything the same [initial temp, milk quantity, post-bell time, even the bottle type] or take a shot in the dark that it comes out ok
change any of that, and you are back to guessing, and the old wrist temp-test
plus there is no low water warning, it is easy to run it dry and have a bad smell
also that turns the bottom brown eventually
i can see how it would melt or burn bottle bottoms too
plus if you get any milk in the water, it foams up, and will turn the whole thing brown pretty soon
also there are nooks and crannies that make it hard to clean milk out completely, particularly around the heating disk in the bottom
plus you can;t add water until it;s empty [unless you want water all over the counter] because the tank goes in upside down, with no cap, if it has any in it when you remove it, it will come out
bottom line, it works, it doesn;t cost a fortune, but it has some limitations,whicht are not impossible to work around
BESTREVIEW :) vote for me :) just kidding, but if it helped.. thx wle..

-it is still about the fastest way to do it other than microwave, not recommended
=for some reason dr brown;s bottles will spew milk up and out of their threads SOMETIMES
when they do milk gets in the water and eventually turns brown and has be cleaned out
i really think it is when the cap is on too tight, not too loose
either that , or maybe the nipple hole is stopped up
the browns bottles are weird and i think the air in the bottle expands and doesn;t go out the normal way, and it has to force the milk up the blue vent tube and out the threads, which are intentionally too big on those bottles, it is how air gets in when the baby sucks
