The Playtex brand of bottles (both Nursers and Ventaire), are really good quality bottles for your money.
I started out using the Nursers (drop in liners) but the cost quickly added up. I then purchased the Ventaire since I already had nipples, rings, and caps, which work on both types.
I like the Ventaire because they are fairly easy to clean, but mostly because my son didn't have any gas issues using these. I did not have problems with leaking like other people do. I make sure the bottle, bottom, and seal are completely dry before assembling. I also don't heat up the disc so bad that it warps, no dishwasher and I very rarely sanitize by putting them in boiling water. I never had to replace the discs. I also like that the bottles are tilted. To me I never understood how a completely straight bottle would be easy for infant feeding. Two relatives also used these bottles with their children, no gas issues with the babies or problems with the bottles themselves.
The only thing I do not like is that after about 3 months of use (using 10 bottles) some of the markings wore off, which is an extreme product flaw since you need accurate measurements. Of course you can measure water into something else, but that is inconvenient, especially with a hungry crying infant.
I do still recommend this product. I just hope Playtex will make more permanent markers in the future.
