Germ Guardian

[Jane]

After reading the first thread about the Germ Guardian, I called Babies R Us and put one on hold. But since then several people have caused me to rethink.

The reason I would want one is not because I feel we are doing a bad job sterilizing neb cups. It is mostly because I wanted to make things easier. My understanding is with the Germ Guardian, you still have to wash and dry the nebs THEN put them in to sterilize. Is that accurate? This sounds to me like more work.

I was alao hoping to be able to get them off the counter during the drying/ storing time.

So, just to clarify, is that the way you do it after each neb? WASH, then DRY, then GERM GUARDIAN?

Thanks

Has all of this Germ Guardian talk been about the nursery sanitizer? I'm confused because all I see are humidifiers by this company. I'll be interested to read what folks think.

I wash, rinse, and shake the water off (in a large plastic bowl with paper towel and a lid) so they are no longer dripping wet, then I put them directly into the machine and let it finish them drying. Takes me about 5 minutes tops. These steps are no different than regular washing and rinsing so I don't know how it could be any more work.

The thing that I like the most is they are completely dry when I'm done and I don't have them sitting on the counter anymore, wondering if they are dry or trying to make sure they don't get knocked over by the cats or a person or have something spill on them etc.

Yes, the unit sits out on the counter (or where ever you choose) it takes 30 minutes for it to run through the cycle. The hot air does blow through the basket and out the slots in the lid - it reaches 160 degrees so you will most likely need to have it sitting out somewhere during the 30 minute run time, unless you have a nice space available in a cabinet or closet or something that has plenty of room for the hot air to blow out. You can put them away at that point or use them from the basket....

I personally think it is easier - when it's done, they are dry and contained in a holding bucket. I can go to bed and not worry about them.

Yes, Emily -- it's the nursery sanitizer - little blue basket on top of the white base.

Check out mom2lillian's blog (feb 19).

Everyone needs to make up their own minds on this, but...I don't think it gets hot enough, and stays hot enough to sterilize.

I am still debating about getting one to help "dry" and store them after I boil them.
