Rank #9 in Best Bottle Warmers 2026: Nine Ranked, and Why '2 Minutes' Can Mean Five
Philips Avent Fast Bottle Warmer, 60-Minute Keep Warm
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Philips Avent SCF358/00 is the entry at number nine in this guide, and it is the one that answers the question the rest of the guide keeps asking. Its own bullet names both the volume and the liquid: 150ml of milk in just 3 minutes, achieved by continuously circulating the milk so it does not develop hot spots. That is a claim you can hold against other listings that headline "2 mins" or "Fast Heating in 2 Minutes" without saying what is being warmed, or how much of it.
The listing price is £49.99 and the average rating is 4.0 from 442 ratings. It holds milk at temperature for 60 minutes before shutting off automatically, and its specification field reads "Batteries required: No", with none of the included/not-included contradiction that appears on other listings in this guide. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing and its customer reviews; we have not tested the warmer ourselves.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I didn't want to write a review but I saw some bad ones left by someone. And I want to say that this bottle warmer is a life saver. It warms up the bottle in about 5 minutes (it depends on the quantity as well). My baby is having just 5 oz formula hence her small age. And this quantity is ready warm in as little as 3 minutes. Does a great job. I am glad I purchased it. I am confidently recommend it to everyone considering between brands.”
Verified purchase“We started off with the NUK bottle warmer until we got tired of the milk always being boiling! This is slower than the NUK but it is more accurate as you can say exactly how many ounces of milk you have (if it is refrigerated just increase it by an extra ounce). We now have 2 (one upstairs and one downstairs).”
