Boon Orb Baby Bottle Warmer, Green

great bottle warmer– far superior to the AVENT one!!
This is a very good bottle warmer. We originally had the Philips AVENT Express Food and Bottle Warmer, and the Boon Orb Bottle Warmer is FAR superior to it. The Boon heats up the bottle according to the amount of water you put in it. Once that water evaporates, the light turns off, indicating that the bottle is done. With the AVENT bottle warmer, the length of time the bottle is heated appears to be determined by an internal timer. The amount of water you put in it has nothing to do with how long the bottle is warmed. So there’s more flexibility with the Boon to warm the bottle just as much as you want (the AVENT has only a few settings). The other thing I like so much better about the Boon is that when the light goes off, the unit is off. You do not also have to remember to flip a switch (on the BACK!), like you do with the AVENT. Back when we were using the AVENT bottle warmer, I can’t tell you how many times I found myself in bed, about to drift off to sleep after feeding my baby his bottle and putting him back to bed, only to jolt awake because I couldn’t remember if I’d turned off the AVENT bottle warmer. There’s no way around it — at that point, you simply have to get up and check. Irrespective of whether you really did leave it on, you’re still up all over again — and who needs an extra night wakening when you have a baby in the house? And there were absolutely times when we did leave the AVENT on, and did not realize it until literally hours later — which always made me extremely uncomfortable, because that’s clearly got to be a fire hazard.Of note, neither bottle warmer has any kind of auditory signal indicating that the bottle is done. But that’s really the only area for improvement I can think of for the Boon Orb Bottle Warmer.

Great product, silly instructions
The basic principle with this bottle warmer is that once you add water to the plugged-in warmer it immediately heats up the water to boiling, immersing the bottle in a steam bath, until the water is gone, at which point it automatically shuts off. This functionality works great and is easy to use.However the means to measure the water is a small vial that comes with markings from 2 – 8 (but which do not correspond to actual measurements or fixed increments of volume). It makes no sense (2×4 does not equal 8), and is overly complicated using different combinations for glass, plastic, widemouth, breast milk, formula, etc.There are several ways this could be improved – maybe include multiple vials or use separate markings on different sides for glass, plastic, and widemouth bottles labeled with the actual number of ounces being heated) – or even just by using real measurements so that one could easily convert between amounts instead of fussing with filling the vial up several times to get the right amount.The other “glitch” is that the user is instructed to wait 10 minutes between uses (maybe to avoid steam burns if pouring hot water into an already hot chamber?). With twin boys on the same feeding schedule that obviously wasn’t happening and I did not see any ill effects. Do so at your own risk, obviously.Our boys were not particularly fussy so I found that for a 4 oz feeding I just needed to use about a “6” on the vial to get their formula or breast milk to an acceptable temperature and I warmed up many bottles back to back with no problems.

You need to try this bottle warmer!
I bought this bottle warmer for my daughter in law for use with my new grandson’s bottles. The Boon Orb is small and works great! It takes a little longer to warm the liquid if it has been refrigerated. (Ex. Pumped breast milk stored in the refrigerator). The design is cleaver with the water measure located on the back of the unit. I will share that the instructions that come with the bottle warmer are not the best. However, we found a YouTube video to watch that was most helpful. My daughter in law uses the warmer frequently and is happy with the efficiency and ease of use. The Boon Orb Bottle Warmer is priced so that it is affordable and works as good – if not better – than higher priced warmers.

Boon is always outdoing itself with the unique designs. Have it for a year and it is still working properly. Very convenient to use. Bit of water goes inside and with a click of a button water almost boils in less than 30 second, so bottle gets warmed up very fast. I was thinking to sell it already on kijiji, since my children are already toddlers however I used it once in a car just to warm up juice and it worked like a charm. Basically I will keep it int he car now to warm up drinks or baby food for kids.

Best bottle warmer ever!! When making my decision between the Boon and Philips advent bottle warmer I went with the Boon for the automatic shut off. Which was a good choice. I don’t have to stand waiting at the bottle warmer checking over and over the temperature of the bottle. While it’s warming up I can change a diaper and soothe a hungry baby. I’m very impressed with this product and it’s simplicity. And it looks so good on my counter. I would purchase again in a heart beat if I had to.
