Thank you very much for your advice. We have the wrong manufacturer's number on file. This item is the SCF293/02 and we will correct this as soon as possible.
The difference between the Philips Avent SCF293/00 and the SCF293/02 could not be determined directly from the information provided. The official Philips sources mention the SCF293/00 as a premium electric steam steriliser with dryer that sterilises and dries up to six bottles. Information about the SCF293/02 is not available. These could be regional or specific variants that have different functions or features. For exact information, I recommend contacting the official Philips website or customer service.
So in the Galaxus shop there is only the SCF293/02. I would assume that if you have found the 293/00 somewhere, then it is simply the older version of it. More important is the difference to the 291/00, which can also be bought in the Galaxus shop and is cheaper. Compared to the 293/02, the 291/00 does not have a dry function. It is precisely the dry function that makes the appliance significantly better.
Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers. We always try to offer a price in line with the market. However, this is not possible for all products.
I don't know it like that, but I have already cleaned the steriliser with said household vinegar... Afterwards, the parts had unfortunately stunk several times...
Normally yes, I also put in the Medela Symphony bonnets and all sorts of other things (nipples, spoons, etc.). If you can put them in the dishwasher, you can also do it in the steriliser (works with steam).
