Recommend a good bottle warmer?

I'm thinking if getting a bottle warmer for the bedroom. As I think I need a night off every now and again. This is my husbands first full week working in the office so I am doing 11pm until 5/6pm with her by myself. To be fair he gets in just after 4.30 and gets all the household stuff done that I haven't been able to do which takes about an hour by time he has done that and cooked dinner and then he finally gets a chance to spend time with her. But we are day 3 and I am exhuasted. At night she will go 3-4 hours but during the day I can't put her down or she will scream so I can't nap. But it takes me about an hour to get back to sleep after feeding and takes about an hour to change her, feed her and settle her again so I am awake for about 2hrs each time she wakes up.

My husband is back to work too but I cannot do night by myself. For some feeds he sleeps but others I feed baby (breastfeed) and then pass onto him for nappies, settling, holding... ao I can have a bit more sleep. Other times I just need him awake with me if it is a really bad night so I don't fall asleep whilst breastfeeding.

@Conchi he does nappies during the night at the weekends and was doing them at night when he was working from home and then I'd breast feed her. At the minute he has a cold and I can't deal with a crying baby and his snoring at the same time so until he is over his cold he is in the babies room during the week as at weekends he gets up and does nappies and talks to while I feed her. He does change her nappy and give her a bottle at about 11 so I can start to get some rest. I think I just need a night where I'm not awake for 2+hrs in the middle of the night. At the minute I'm getting 2 stints of 2ish hours. He is great at the weekends as I can go take an afternoon nap but it is still only a couple of hours.

@Jessica sleep deprivation is hard. I hope ot improves for you.
