Baby Bottle Washer: Cleaner, Sterilizer and Dryer

I was honestly skeptical of buying this because of the price, but it definitely is worth it! I have been so tired of washing bottles by hand and in the dishwasher. This saves me so much time and energy! I wish I bought this whenever my son was a newborn. This makes my life so much easier!

So it has a learning curve, but once you get the rhythm down, it will take your washing routine time down by at least half. And that's more time you get to spend with your precious little one! And it definitely cleans better than doing it by hand. It's quicker and more cost effective than the dishwasher. Squeaky clean! And QUIET!!
I like that it drains directly into the sink, and it has a pretty small footprint considering. It's smaller than my spaghetti pot! I didn't get this until my baby was 8 months, but I'm still breastfeeding for at least a year, and I have to pump like 4-5 times a day. So having to spend that much time washing bottles and pumps everyday for the next 4-5 months, made this purchase extremely worth it for me. We got it on Cyber Monday sale, so we splurged on it and it feels like it makes my day so much easier.

I didn't add this to my registry and instead added the philips dryer and sterilizer because I thought a bottle dishwasher was too extra and I'd be lazy if I didn't just wash the bottles myself. Boy was I wrong.

It's really not about laziness, when you have a baby you just don't have time ans that something I didn't realize before I had my first. You have to save every minute you can.

At first the bottle and pump part washing went fine but after the first few months I found myself getting over it and putting them all in the dishwasher and turning on the dishwasher mainly for that purpose.

I figured I was wasting so much water that wah and might as well get the bottle dishwasher.

I settled on this one and I'm so glad I did. I save so much time now just rinsing everything and putting them in there. I truly wish I got this earlier/put on my registry.

For the amount of time you save, it's worth every penny.

It cleans everything great.

While I do wish it was a little bit bigger so it can hold more bottles and pump parts, it still gets the job done.

Very easy to use as well.

So glad I decided to cough up the cash and buy it.

This thing is pricey and definitely a splurge but I absolutely love it. I have used this to wash all my bottles and pump parts for almost 2 months now. I have twins and exclusively pump so I was washing bottles and parts alllllll day long. Now that I am back to work, it gets ran around 3-4 times per day. I typically always run the standard wash and don't usually sterilize. I have noticed that there is some tiny residue/water spots left in my bottles so about every 2 weeks I make a point to handwash all my parts and run the sterilizer. Its possible its just my hard water. I can fit 8 Phillips Avent bottles in here with all the lids in the bottle and all the rings and nipples on top.

Cons:
-Having to purchase dishwashing tablets to use (they go on sale often though)
-Having to refill the water tank each time (not huge but a hassle)
-Big on the counter
-Some residue left on bottles, even with rinsing them before putting into the washer

Pros:
-30 minute wash with 45 minute dry cycle means an hour and 15 minutes later, I have clean parts and I will even stop the dry cycle if I need something quicker
-Drain tube right next to my sink so I don't have to worry about it
-I let this run while I do all my other morning and night tasks and I feel like it saves me so much time, especially when the babies are grumpy.
-I actually have more counter space with this versus my boon grass pad and bottle drying rack being out all the time

I was able to justify this when it went on sale and I added it to my baby registry to maximize discounts. i don't know if I would pay full price but I would jump on a sale. I also looked at the daily cost and if it was worth the $25/month after breaking it down.

I also use plain tap water and haven't had any problems but I do plan to descale it every 2-3 months

I absolutely love our machine, head over heels for it! We run this thing like an industrial washer, rarely giving it a break between cycles. Been using it since early November (ish) and its given us so much of our time back to spend with our newborn. Super easy to setup, very easy to use. I like that it uses a hose to put the dirty water into the sink instead of another tank i need to empty....but something to consider if space near the sink is an issue for you. Washer cleans everything we run thru it properly and has great organization with the internal rack. Typical cycles takes about 45min to 1.5hrs, depending on if we have it do the sterilization step too. After the wash is done, it'll push fresh air thru the machine to continue drying and keeping things clean for up to 72hrs before it shuts off (good for leaving to run overnight).

All said and done, I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a washer.
