BB Bottles Cleaner Than Your Floor? Yes. With The Newest Crop Of Bottle Sterilizers The Work Gets Done For You.

Want to add some extra confusion to your life? UV rays are a no-no for the baby, but in the case of this Wabi unit, they are the key to sterilization. This best bottle sterilizer and dryer uses UV rays to dry the bottles while killing germs. As long as the unit has power, the ultraviolet rays will run for 1 minute every couple of hours to maintain a sterile environment. And, no, you do not need to slather the baby in sunscreen before you open the door on the unit.

Sometimes, our kitchens are cluttered enough. Our in-laws have purchased every kitchen gadget on the planet as gifts for us, 99% of which we don’t need. (Seriously. WTF are they trying to say with these gift choices?) So when we don’t have space for bottle sterilizer hardware, these quick-clean microwavable bags are the answer. Seal the bottle inside the bag and the microwave will create steam to sterilize them for you. You can use each bag 20 times, so you’re not creating an embarrassing amount of waste, either.

For parents with more than one baby (or for those of us who seem to be hoarding baby bottles for our one baby), this bottle sterilizer and dryer has the capacity you need. It can handle up to six baby bottles at one time, keeping them sterilized and dry … and ready for the next time you give birth to sextuplets.

When you want a sterilizer that’s also appropriate for cleaning other important baby items, this unit is the choice. Sterilize pacifiers and any plastic toys inside the large capacity unit. It has three settings: steam, steam followed by hot air (for drying), and steam followed by extra hot air. (Kind of like your husband, except he has a setting for extra-extra-extra hot air.)

Wabi Baby has made our list a second time with this unit, but it uses steam instead of UV rays to sterilize baby bottles. This unit is extremely easy to use and works fast, which is great when you’re feeling a little frazzled. Heck, you might have so much free time you’ll start making your own organic baby food. Better yet, screw that — sneak in a nap.

This Philips steam best bottle sterilizer works fast, kills germs effectively, and is inexpensive. Just toss it in the microwave for a couple of minutes, and the bottles are virtually free of germs and bacteria. This unit is so effective at cleaning, you may wonder why someone hasn’t made a version that’s large enough to place your house inside of it.

When steaming the bottles just isn’t enough to make you feel like the baby is safe from germs and bacteria, this bottle sterilizer and dryer is large enough to take on toys, pacifiers, and other items. It will hold up to eight bottles of varying shapes. It works so well, you’ll be tempted to place the baby’s older brother inside after another waffles and maple syrup disaster, but it’s not quite large enough, unfortunately.

We love kitchen gadgets that can do multiple things. If it’s going to occupy space on the counter, it needs to justify its use of real estate. This bottle sterilizer handles bottles and baby accessories. But it also can be used to reheat food or steam eggs. We wouldn’t recommend doing all of those things at once, but we still respect its versatility.

We’ve mentioned the impressive size of some of the best bottle sterilizers in our list. But the Bololo blows them all away. It can hold up to 12 baby bottles at one time. It also includes a HEPA filter to keep the air inside as free from contaminants as possible. Sure, maybe it’s overkill. But if 11 friends with new babies suddenly show up at your house for an unexpected play date at the same time, you’re going to be glad you have a 12-bottle capacity sterilizer and dryer.

As parents, we like multi-use devices. The GROWNSY best bottle sterilizer is on an island by itself, though. It can do it all in one device, as it sterilizes bottles, warms milk, warms baby food, defrosts milk, and dries bottles. It’s so useful, you may wonder how humans ever had babies before this was invented. It only holds two bottles, but, for most people, that’s probably enough.

When you need the baby bottles sterilized and dried in a short amount of time, the Baby Joy model has a 10-minute quick mode. Heck, it takes 10 minutes sometimes to boil water if you’re sterilizing bottles the old fashioned way, so this quick mode will seem like no time at all.

Considering its low price, this unit’s ability to both dry and sterilize baby bottles quickly is impressive. Not as impressive as your ability to juggle the baby, a bottle, the formula, and the older sister’s sudden clinginess, all while listening to your boss drone on during a conference call — thank god for mute mode — but still, an impressive bottle sterilizer.

There is a downside to units that can accommodate several bottles; They will eat up a ton of space on your counter. Small and simple can be better, such as with this steamer unit. It’s made for two bottles, or you can use it to warm milk or baby food. Considering how crazy things can get in the kitchen sometimes, simple is always appreciated … if and when it bothers to show up.

When you have limited counter space for a bottle sterilizer, the OMORC model has a tall and thin design that reduces its footprint. It can still hold up to six bottles, which is handy. If only other items could be resized to fit into desired locations so conveniently, like a waistline after having a baby.
