Glossary

In box

Additional items included in the package in addition to the device itself.

Forceps. Special tongs designed to remove processed objects from the device. Such a device is relevant primarily for steam sterilizers (see "Sterilization") — during such processing, objects become very hot, and it can be inconvenient to get them out with your hands.

Elevator. A device designed to facilitate the removal of a bottle from a warmer. Usually it looks like a basket with a long handle, in which the bottle is placed; at the end of heating, the basket together with the bottle can be easily removed from the working chamber.

Measuring cup. Measuring cups in this case, usually, are intended for pouring water into the device itself. Heaters often work on the principle of a water bath, and for steam sterilizers (see "Sterilization") water is required by definition. It is easier to measure the amount of water required for work with the help of a complete measuring cup.

Container for warming up food. A special container designed to heat thick foods such as cereals or fruit/vegetable purees in the warmer. Warming such food in a bottle is inconvenient, and sometimes impossible; the container is made quite roomy and wide.

Citrus juicer. Device for obtaining juice from...oranges, lemons and other citrus fruits. When squeezing the fruit, you must first cut it in half, then press each half with the pulp against a special ribbed ledge on the juicer and press hard.

Power source

From the network. Powered by a 230 V household network, in other words, a regular outlet. This option is considered optimal for home use: the device can be constantly kept in one place, close to the outlet (in extreme cases, extend the extension cord), and you do not need to worry about the condition of the batteries. In addition, the power of such a power supply is enough even for the most “gluttonous” devices with steam sterilization.

From batteries. Powered by replaceable batteries of a standard size — for example, "finger" AA or "little" AAA (the specific size should be specified separately in each case). Just note that batteries are usually not included in the kit; however, this configuration has its advantage — it allows you to choose the batteries at your discretion. You can even buy rechargeable batteries and not spend money every time on fresh batteries. In itself, such power, on the one hand, makes the device independent of sockets and allows you to use it even on the road; on the other hand, batteries produce very little power and are not suitable for steam sterilization, or even for use in heaters. As a consequence, this type of power is found exclusively in portable UV sterilizers.

From a car cigarette lighter 12 V. Power supply from the car's on-board network — through the cigarette lighter socket or a separate auto socket of the same s...ize. The features of the use of such devices are already clear from the name — they are designed for use while traveling.

— From the mains / car cigarette lighter 12 V. Devices that can be connected to both a regular home socket and a 12 V car. Both types of connection are described in detail above, and their combination makes the device very versatile, allowing it to be used both at home and on the road. However such models are much more expensive than “purely” home or automobile models. It should also be borne in mind that when operating from 12 V, the heating or sterilization time may be longer than at home.

Power consumption

Rated power consumed by the device during operation.

This parameter is specified for models that support mains power (see above). At the same time, even the most powerful and high consumption sterilizers and heaters consume only about 1 kW — a normal home outlet provides such power without any problems. Therefore, this indicator is relevant mainly for those who fundamentally care about maximizing energy savings.

Country of origin

The country of origin of the brand under which the product is marketed. Often indicated by the nationality of the company or the location of its headquarters. At the same time, the actual production capacity of the brand often differs from the country of origin.

It should be noted that the quality of products depends not so much on geography, but on the peculiarities of the organization of processes and quality control at all stages of production. Therefore, national prejudices regarding brands from certain regions, as a rule, are not supported by anything. It is necessary to pay attention to the country of origin of the brand only if the task is to fundamentally support or bypass the manufacturer from a particular state.
