Product Information

During that 5-minute process, it does a very effective job at sterilizing, and according to our digital thermometer it reached and maintained the 250-degree (F) threshold required for steam sterilization.

Brown's makes some of the best overall baby bottles on the market, so we were excited to try out Dr. We were super excited to test out this baby bottle sterilizer and dryer because it's completely different from all the others and offers some super high-tech uses that go way beyond sterilizing baby bottles. Even using distilled water we did get some deposits on the heating element, but they did come off very easily with vinegar - we put some white vinegar and water in there and let it sit for about half an hour and everything was like new. Based on December 2015 GemSeek online satisfaction survey conducted among more than 9,000 female users of childcare brands and products.

We haven't reviewed any other baby bottle dryer that uses a HEPA filter, so this feature sets this product apart from the others. Note that if you only want to use the drying function (without sterilizing), you can simply turn it to drying and it will sense that there is no water in the reservoir (after about a minute of thinking) and then simply dry the bottles. There is a drip tray underneath the appliance that you need to empty before using, as it is designed to let some of the steam escape through the bottom during sterilization.

Full disclosure: Some of these bottle sterilizers, including the Tommee Tippee, Munchkin, and Babymoov models, were sent to us as free test samples by the manufacturer. The lower rack is where you place the bottles, upside-down, using a series of convenient flexible stems that help hold your bottles in place.

Once it's loaded up, you can use one of the three features: sterilize only, sterilize and dry, or dry only. The Papablic sterilizer settings and features are very similar to the Baby Brezza, so it was all very familiar to us.

If you press the sterilize and dry button once, it will sterilize and then dry for 45 minutes (the default setting). The microwave steam steriliser can be used to sterilise baby bottles and other products in just 2 minutes, killing 99. Once the sterilization and drying process is complete, Papablic claims 12 hours of sterile bottles until you remove the lid - that means you can run it overnight and then take the stuff out the next morning and it will still be sterile.Second, the system is slower than steam sterilizing by at least 2 minutes assuming you are using both top and bottom racks. Note that after drying, the bottles and accessories will stay sterile for up to 24 hours or until you open the lid.
