Dr. Brown's All-in-One Sterilizer and Dryer for Baby Bottles, Parts & Other Newborn Essentials

I love this thing. I didn’t think I needed a bottle sterilizer but quickly realized washing, sanitizing and drying bottles with a newborn baby was almost impossible. I didn’t want to spend a ton of money on something I thought was just for convenience and I found this body sterilizer and dryer. I wash the bottles in the sink and then throw them into the sterilizer with the auto setting and they’re completely sterilized and dry within maybe 45 minutes at most. I use it multiple times per day, it’s a must have for me now. It’s the easiest thing to use, takes up minimal counter space, does exactly what it needs to do with barely any effort, I can’t say enough good things about it.

Worth the money, I used it everyday to sterilize my bottles and pump parts. I love love love the drying option. So easy to put everything in there after washing and let it do its thing. Doesn’t take up too much counter space, isn’t an eye sore, and honestly holds so many things. Definitely made for Dr brown bottles and love that it has special spots for the vents so it can eliminate how much space you are using making room for other things like pacifiers.

This saved me so much time, the constant waiting for the bottles and pump parts to dry was annoying. My baby was a premie so in kept sanitizing everything and the process took for every when using the Dr. Browns sterilizing microwave bags. The drying process takes way too long, this item is a game changer especially for those mommies that’s are exclusively pumping there are so many parts to clean. Item worth every penny, the heat is hot enough to sanitize but not ruin item. I can fit I total of 8 bottles and pump parts in this sanitizer.

The drying function is a must and very useful. If you use hard water, there are residuals in the heating area. Cleaning it with white vinegar can get rid of the residuals, but it is not necessary to do it.

This sterilizer is quick, efficient and SUPER easy to use. It fits 6 bottles (doesn't have to be the Dr. Brown's brand) and all the parts to the bottles. The drying feature is what changed the game for me. Having twins you go through bottles round the clock so they need drying FAST. Definitely a must-have.

Works as intended, I just make sure to clean the metallic plate with vinegar and no residue has built so far. I also use the drying function a lot, specially since al the components from pumps and bottles are a bit hard to dry yourself, and it takes way less than just letting them to dry by themselves. I give it 4 starts because it sometimes feels like the upper tray may easily turn over when handled and make the items drop to the ground.

The media could not be loaded. We bought the Dr. Brown’s All-in-One Sterilizer and Dryer because our Philips Avent sterilizer didn’t fit the tall, narrow Dr. Brown’s bottles. If you exclusively use Dr. Brown’s bottles, this is a solid choice since many other sterilizers don’t accommodate the tall narrow shape.Check out the video for more details :)Pros:• Designed for Dr. Brown’s bottles – The tall, narrow shape fits perfectly here, unlike other sterilizers.• Spacious capacity – Holds up to six bottles plus all their parts, and even fits pumping parts if needed.• Multiple modes – You can choose between sterilizing only, drying only, or auto mode (which does both).• Set it and forget it – Auto mode is convenient for busy parents.Cons:• Not a washer – This doesn’t clean bottles; you still need to wash them separately before sterilizing. Washing would sometimes take us 30 min a day between bottles and pumping parts… really took a toll on us doing this Every. Single. Day.• Takes a while – Compared to other sterilizers, the full cycle (especially auto mode) feels long. Our Philips Avent sterilizer completes a dry and sterilize cycle in ~45min vs the Dr Brown’s sterilizer which takes almost an hour.• Loud drying mode – The drying function is noticeably loud, so we avoid running it at night.PRO TIP: If we could turn back time, we’d invest in an all-in-one washer + sterilizer + dryer combo to simplify the daily routine from the beginning. BUT those are expensive. Our baby is now 8 months old, so it’s hard for us to justify that cost when we only have 4 ish months of bottle feeding left. So instead, we recently bought the Dr Brown’s Dishwasher Basket and WOW – this has been a GAME CHANGER! If you have a dishwasher, ditch the hand washing and pair the Dr Brown’s Sterilizer with the Dr Brown’s Dishwasher Basket – that combo has saved us so much time in our daily baby prep routine (~30 min) in addition to helping me regain my sanity … the anti-colic mechanism is genius but the Dr Brown’s bottle parts are SO tedious to hand wash!! IYKYK.In summary, if you exclusively use Dr. Brown’s bottles, this sterilizer is one of the only options that truly fits the tall narrow bottles and works well. However, since it doesn’t wash bottles, you’ll still spend time cleaning them separately before sterilizing. It’s reliable and effective, but if you want a more hands-off approach, an all-in-one bottle washer/sterilizer might be a better choice but if that’s not an option, get the Dr. Brown’s Dishwasher Basket with the Dr. Brown’s Sterilizer to simplify your routine.

I've been using it with my baby since he was born and he's 6 months old and I'm still using it. I don't have any problems with this brand, one of my best choices.
