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

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.

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.

My dishwasher is older and doesn't offer a sterilization feature so I needed to purchase a dedicated sterilizer. Plus dishwashers don't get to the necessary temperature for bacterial elimination.When my baby was first born, we used this twice a day for 2 months. Eventually, we have gotten into the rhythm of once a day fitting 4 Dr. Brown wide mouth bottles (5 or 9oz), 5 medela transfer bottles (5 oz), and pumping parts (Breast collection cup parts).We use the auto cycle with the dry setting and it takes one hour to complete. We pull it forward so the steam doesn't damage the cabinets in our kitchen. The metal plate that heats up the water for steam gets dirty, similar to a coffee pot. We have to descale with full strength white vinegar for about 30mins for it to look brand new. We typically descale every two weeks, but it depends on how many mineral are in your water and how often you use it!It's a large device, so when we travel, we take the Dr. Brown microwave bags instead.

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.

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.

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.

Bought it for my friend and she loves it cleans the bottles easy as good storage capacity worth my money safe for the bottle, she uses the glass bottle tho so the heat is good for them.

I love using this sterilizer I wouldn't have chosen any other sterilizer. It works great, especially with the different options It has, but I only click the same two buttons but a sterilizes his bottles very well. I never see any speck of dirt or residue when using the sterilizer and it's very simple too as well to learn.
