I'm lucky to have friends who don't plan to have more babies and give hand-me-down baby stuffs. The first ever baby stuff I got was a Chicco electric bottle sterilizer which was given by a very good friend, Melanie who by the way will be my coordinator for my upcoming baby shower. *beams*
Since we are having 3 kids, 1 sterilizer might not be enough. So, I did my research again and after reading quite a number of product reviews was able to shortlist 2 brands:

Pigeon vs. Avent:
1. Both are electric and fit the Born Free bottles.
2. FAST! Both take 6 minutes to sterilize bottles.
3. Pigeon keeps contents sterile for up to 6 hours; Avent 24 hours!!! Wow.
Actually, no much difference between the two but I was drawn to Avent over Pigeon because of its availability and price in Amazon. It's on sale, 34% off and free shipping! What a steal! *smiles* Price does matters.
Initially, I was considering to get the microwavable ones. They are more compact compared to electric and can be stowed anywhere, anytime. However, I made a consideration on our lifestyle as well. We always move around. Manila-Bataan-out of town-Manila and I cannot guarantee to have microwaves all the time. (read: some beach resorts don't have microwaves in the room even hotels). So electric is the way to go...
I'm bothered on the bulkiness though...
Update: Avent Sterilizer that was on sale in Amazon was at 110v. *sigh* We prefer to get the 220v. Can't imagine bringing the transformer with us wherever we go. *LOL* So, we'll get it somewhere else...
