Iused a normal baby bath put it on the washing machine great height for sore backs and we used it for 4 months

steriliser if your going to use one, I had a 2nd hand avent electric took 9-12min have a micro take 5min so gave avent back and stuck with micro quicker easier and can store in micro when not in use saves bench space, but check the size of steriliser versus you micro they are alldifferent sizes I use a target one at our holiday house and tommee tippee everyday

I have heard the avent isis is one of the better pumps on the market it is great for budget concious people price wise, having not used it I can't tell you personally
