Nice idea, but doesn't work in practice June 10, 2008

We bought the IQ24 2 months before the birth of our baby boy. We didn't actually unpack and start using it until he was born. The idea that you can leave items in the steriliser for up to 24 hours, with the unit repeating its cycle every 6 hours sounds good at first. However, in practice it just doesn't work out like that. Our son wanted feeding at least every 4 hours, sometimes every two hours. So we'd take a bottle out of the steriliser to make a feed, but then we'd have to set a cycle running again since we'd opened the lid and the other items were then considered no longer sterile. We also found that we had to keep topping up the water level to 200ml quite often. I suppose we could have left it to run automatically when it reached the next 6 hour milestone, but he would have wanted another feed before then.
So we found ourselves taking out a bottle and running another cycle every time. Sadly, some of the Avent plastic bottle collars didn't like this and after a while the shiny white plastic started to turn powdery.
After 3 weeks of use we then noticed water leaking out of the bottom of the unit. This was swiftly followed by the LCD display not lighting up, or the button not responding when pressed to start a cycle. I can only assume the unit was not water-sealed properly and water had got into the electrics (VERY DANGEROUS!!). Maybe this is an isolated incident and we just happened to get a faulty unit, but this should have been noticed in quality control. For the money ( 60!!) this is not what we expected...especially since we've only been using it for 3 WEEKS!! Not recommended at all. Since then we've returned it and purchased a much cheaper unit which does the job just the same :)
