All-in-One Bottle Cleaner, Sterilizer, and Dryer for Bottles, Pump Parts, and Pacifiers

On our second machine. The first I never descaled and after 3 months got an E3 error message that wouldn’t go away. Couldn’t descaled at that point since it wouldn’t run a cycle so I’ll take the fault for that. It worked well otherwise so bought a replacement. The sanitize mode sounds like an airport warming up. It’s so loud I can hear it across the house. Very disappointed in the noise level.

It stopped working properly after 2 weeks. I loved being able to use it when it did work but unfortunately it stopped drying, then started leaking water, and stopped sterilizing then eventually stopped running the entire wash cycle. I ran it twice in the evening and once in the morning. You also have to manually turn it off, if not the drying/storage cycle just keeps going. I’ll be returning for refund so that helps. Customer service was amazing.

Let me give you a little background…
For the last 11 months I’ve been hand washing bottles and using a sterilizer. I wanted a bottle washer like this when I was pregnant but couldn’t really justify the price. We have 9 of the 8oz Dr Brown thin anti-colic bottles. They’re tall and they have a lot of parts, but my daughter likes them. I can fit all these bottles and all their parts into the Dr Brown sterilizer and dryer. Fast forward to now and I have this bottle washer.

When I tell you I was stoked to get this thing that would be an understatement. I was less thrilled by the delays in receiving it.

When I got the bottle washer I was a little perturbed as I realized I wouldn’t be able to put it in the same place as the sterilizer. It has to go next to the sink as it has a tube for the water to drain out. It also takes up quite a significant amount of space on the counter, especially for something that is staying out. I got everything setup, and was pleasantly surprised to see that this came with a couple packets of the washing tablets. I then attempted to load a full days worth of bottles into the washer.

How many bottles is that, you might be wondering. Just five. Five bottles with all the parts (valve, tube insert, nipple) and it couldn’t be done. If I wanted to fit all of the bottles and all of the parts in I could fit four. And I don’t know how clean they got either as there were places the jets of water barely touched.

Water sprays from multiple places. There are eight “stands” on the inside, four of which spray water, and there is a rotating sprayer on the bottom. There is also a sprayer on the top, but I’m not sure what purpose it serves as it literally just sprays water straight onto the container, no on any of the parts.

The machine itself is fairly quiet when running, probably just as loud as a dishwasher would be. The unit itself take a lot more water than you think it would. It does seem to clean fairly well, but I wouldn’t say it dries well at all. I’ve noticed if not left on “storage” then the bottles and parts will still be wet.

I’ve been trying to find different configurations on where to put bottles and parts. If I clean the valve separate then I can fit more bottles, but I feel like that defeats the purpose. After a week or so of regular use, I’ve found the optimal amount of bottles to clean is………. 3. No, you didn’t read that wrong. Three bottles. This includes all parts and ensures they all get clean (meaning they all get hit directly with a sprayer).

I’ve also encountered issues with the buttons on the top. If your fingertips are a little dry they won’t respond, which can be frustrating. The machine feels like it’s made well, aside from the touch buttons (why can’t we just have regular buttons anymore). It’s easy enough to use once you’ve figured out the configuration needed for your bottles, but when it comes to cost vs utility an size, you might be better for buying a countertop dishwasher as a lot of them offer the same as these do but you can use it for other things and could potentially fit more into them.

I was so excited for this but it isn't ad user friendly as you may beleive
For whatever reason the buttons refuse to recognize my fingers when I press them.... my husband on the other hand has no issues. I've tried touching them hard, soft, quick and slow. My fingers aren't wet either. I unfortunately don't have the luxury of waiting for my husband to come home to wash bottles and pump parts

It also uses a ton of water which we are double filtering so that process itself takes a long time so it isn't as quick as i hoped it would be.

This baby bottle washer and sterilizer is super easy to use. It has really helped me keep our baby's bottles clean instead of feeling like I have to load up the dishwasher to full. Its nice to have a smaller, albeit still quite large in a good way, device that is dedicated to just the bottles and things. It is pretty intuitive to use and has 4 different modes which are wash and sterilize, auto wash and sterilize, sterilize only, and storage. It is nice that you can sterilize in it if you drop your bottle or something and don't need a full wash. You do have to use washing tablets but they include quite a few to get you started. You don't have to use theirs but they recommend it.

The only true downside is that it is very large. It takes up quite a bit of counter space and storage space. We luckily have a pretty large kitchen so its not as big of a deal but if you are in an apartment or something then this would be most of your counter space. I don't take a star off for that as the dimensions are listed and everything but just something to note.

Overall though it has worked really well and helps us stay on top of things.
