The 8 Best Bottle Sterilizers To Save You Countless Hours Of Cleaning
Whether you're breastfeeding, pumping, formula-feeding or combo feeding, hand-washing and boiling bottles and pump parts for what feels like hours upon hours on repeat is one of those chores every parent dreads. The best baby bottle sterilizers help ensure your baby's bottles end up clean and sanitized separate from your other dishes where cross-contamination could occur. They can also be used to sterilize other commonly washed baby items like pacifiers, breast pump parts, sippy cups, teething toys and baby spoons. The Philips Avent Baby Bottle Sterilizer And Dryer Premium is my pick for the best bottle sanitizer overall, because it's easy to use, both sterilizes and dries and looks good sitting on any counter. Using a bottle sterilizer isn't essential, but the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises sterilizing bottles until babies reach at least 2 months of age—or longer for those who are premature or have weakened immune systems. 'Former NICU patients may benefit from sterilizing bottles and pump parts, particularly in the early days when a baby is still more vulnerable to infection,' says Dr. Catherine Chang, a University of Utah Hospital pediatrician. Using a dishwasher on high heat or the sanitize setting, or boiling items on the stove also sterilizes bottles, but the best bottle sterilizers 'are certainly more convenient and potentially time-saving,' she says. Learn more about the top picks for the best bottle sterilizers on the market right now. Capacity: Up to six bottles, parts and accessories | Cycle time: Six minutes (sterilize only); 40 minutes (sterilize and dry) | Dimensions: 11.9 x 7.5 x 14.8 inches The Phillips Avent Baby Bottle Sterilizer And Dryer Premium packs a lot of convenience into a compact and sleek package. First of all, it's both a sterilizer and a dryer, which is a huge time-saver compared to other sterilizer-only models. And while not crucial, its slim modern profile just looks nice. Aesthetics aside, it sanitizes quickly (just six minutes), and even with the drying cycle added on, the entire cycle finishes in just 40 minutes, which is a lot faster than other similar products, so you won't be there waiting anxiously for it to finish so you can feed or pump again. The controls are simple, making it easy to learn how to use straight out of the box. You simply turn the knob to one of the three settings: sterilize, sterilize and dry, or dry only. An included drip tray collects any milk droplets to keep your counters clean and tongs makes removing still warm items in the sanitizer easy. While it's designed to fit multiple bottle sizes, be aware that there are some parents online who say it's challenging to fit their 8-ounce Dr. Brown's bottles in particular, while others say if you remove the accessory tray, that's not a problem. And since it's designed to be modular, when you're done using bottles you can remove the taller portion and just leave the accessory tray to use to sterilize any number of other baby and toddler items like teethers, feeding items and more. This sterilizer also comes with a 24-month warranty. What the parents say: 'While it only fits six bottles at a time, it has a fast cycle that makes running back-to-back cycles pretty easy and everything always comes out dry, which I feel like didn't happen with other ones,' says Lisa Serapiglia, Forbes vice president of business operations. She also loves its compact footprint, allowing her to maximize countertop space. Capacity: Up to six bottles and two full pump part sets | Cycle time: 10 minutes (sterilize and dry) | Dimensions: 11.3 x 12.5 x 13.5 inches If you're in a hurry, it doesn't get much faster than the Baby Brezza Superfast Sterilizer Dryer cycle that both sterilizes and dries everything inside in just ten minutes. The convenience of not having to time putting your bottles or pump parts in as soon as you can to ensure they'll be dry for the next feeding or pumping session is priceless to many parents. Pennsylvania-based pediatrician Dr. Lee used this sterilizer herself: 'I found the dry function super helpful when my baby was born in the middle of a hot and humid Pennsylvania summer,' she says. 'It also had the most capacity for what I wanted and was easy to clean.' The unit has four modes: sterilizer and dryer, sterilizer only (six minutes), dryer only (four minutes) or storage rack. It also comes with a one-year limited warranty in case something doesn't work as well as it should. This no-fuss sterilizer isn't the most compact, however, so make sure you have the kitchen real estate to dedicate to it or spacious cabinet space to stash it away when not in use. If you're looking for an affordable sterilizer that gets the job done, or perhaps a more portable one to take to work or to travel with, the lightweight Munchkin Steam Guard Microwave Sterilizer is a fantastic option. It holds up to four bottles and two breast pump shields or any number of those smaller, peskier pump parts, and you simply pop it into the microwave for two to six minutes (depending on your microwave's wattage) to sterilize the whole batch. It's convenient, easy to stow in a cabinet when not in use and kills up to 99.9% of bacteria in a few minutes. Often on sale for less than $15, it's hard to beat this sterilizer in terms of value. What our writers say: 'I loved using the Munchkin Steam Microwave Bottle Sterilizer any time I needed to sterilize something quickly, like a binky or my pump parts. I didn't use bottles very often, so this was perfect to pull out when I needed it and then to stash it out of sight,' says Alicia Betz, Forbes Vetted writer and mom of three. 'It's so much cheaper than the fancier sterilizers, too, but it does the same job.' Capacity: Up to 11 bottles, parts and accessories | Cycle time: 70 minutes (sterilize and dry); adjustable drying times | Dimensions: 10.8 x 9 x 15.4 inches If you're cycling through tons of bottles and pump parts every few hours, you'll want a sterilizer that can hold a lot at once so you're not constantly reloading it. The extra spacious Hauture Baby Bottle Sterilizer holds up to 11 bottles at once as well as a few extra pump parts. Given how much it can hold, it surprisingly has a smaller footprint than other comparable models we looked at. It is, however, on the tall side, so if you have low cabinets finding a good place for it may be trickier. This easy-to-use sterilizer has multiple modes you can select from including a sterilize and dry option and a preset option where you can set a timer to have it start cycling through at a certain time to coincide with your feed or pump times. A bright LED display at the button shows you how much time is left in the cycle and if you're not in a hurry to use whatever items are inside, it'll keep them sterilized for up to 72 hours. An accessory tray on top holds bottle nipples, pacifiers and smaller pump parts. Capacity: Up to four bottles, parts and accessories | Cycle time: 90 minutes (wash, sterilize and dry) | Dimensions: 18.5 x 9.8 x 15.3 inches With 20 high-pressure jets, the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro is essentially a dedicated mini countertop dishwasher for all your bottles and pump parts with no fussy drain attachment required. Unlike a regular sterilizer where you may still have to hand-wash the bottles or pump parts beforehand, this one dispenses soap, rinses it off with three cycles, sterilizes with hot steam and dries everything thoroughly with HEPA-filtered hot air. The bottles and accessories inside stay sterilized up to 72 hours. Wheels on the bottom make the unit easy to move and turn around. The price is higher than the average sterilizer, but fans like Forbes Vetted deputy editor Rebekah Lowin say it's an 'absolutely indispensable tool' in her household. She had this to say about it in her review: 'What most impressed me about this Baby Brezza device was its ability to achieve such an extraordinary level of cleanliness.' There are six cleaning modes, so you can select the one that best fits your needs (and time): wash, sterilize and dry, wash and dry; a wash only (19 minutes), sterilize and dry, sterilize only (10 minutes) and dry only (60 minutes). It's definitely on the larger side, so you'll want to make sure you have enough counter space to dedicate to it. Just note you'll have to use the brand's proprietary BPA-free baby detergent (as if you were buying dishwasher pods) for the machine. It comes with 60 tablets. Capacity: One bottle plus accessories | Cycle time: Six minutes (sterilize only) | Dimensions: 9.8 x 5.9 x 7.9 inches Instead of having two appliances cluttering up the counter, sterilize and warm up your baby's bottle with one compact machine. Not only will this handy machine sterilize a bottle or pump part, it'll also gently warm up frozen or fresh milk and baby food to your preset warming temperature. As an added bonus, all the pieces easily disassemble and can be washed in your dishwasher. The slim profile fits easily on most countertops. The programmable LED panel remembers your last settings so you can just press a button to start the next warming cycle, while a 60-second auto shutoff makes sure baby's milk or food won't get too hot—small details that might feel sanity-saving during middle-of-the-night feedings. Due to its multifunction design, it only holds one bottle at a time, so if you're planning on needing to sterilize multiple bottles and accessories a day, this may not be the best fit for you. Capacity: Up to 12 bottles | Cycle time: 60 to 80 minutes (sterilize and dry) | Dimensions: 9.84 x 9.84 x 9.84 inches If you're looking for a UV sanitizer that can be used long after your baby is done with bottles, the Grownsy 4-iI-1 UV Sanitizer And Dryer is a versatile option. It comes with four modes: auto (sanitize and dry), sanitize-only, dry-only and storage. The full auto cycle takes approximately 60 to 80 minutes depending on the settings you select, and since it's UV-based, you don't have to fill anything with water. The downside compared to a steam or electric sterilizer is that the drying process takes significantly longer—about 50 to 70 minutes. It's able to hold tons of stuff (up to a dozen bottles at once), and once you're done using it for baby items, you can use it to sanitize any number of household items from keys to your smartphone, toothbrushes, face masks and more, giving it second life. Capacity: Roughly two 8-ounce bottles | Cycle time: Three minutes (sterilize) | Dimensions: 4.38 x 2.13 x 10.13 inches Whether you're pumping exclusively at home or going back to work, the number of small pump parts you have to constantly wash can feel never-ending. As a pumping working mom, these Medela Quick Clean Micro-steam Bags were life-changing for me. Several friends had recommended these when I was registering, and I'm forever grateful they did. When you're in a hurry (like at work) or exhausted and dealing with a lot of pump parts and bottles at home, being able to simply toss them in one of these BPA-free bags and place them in the microwave meant my bottles and pump parts were ready to use for the next time in mere minutes. Since they're bags, they can easily be tossed in any purse or diaper bag so you'll always have one on hand, making them particularly ideal for travel. They're also a great option for those with limited counter space to devote to a full-size sterilizer. You can use each bag up to 20 times and handy checkboxes on the back of each bag helps you keep track of how many times you've used it. At Forbes Vetted, we're dedicated to finding the best baby and kids gear for parents through extensive research, testing and feedback from the numerous editors and writers on staff who are also parents. To find the best baby bottle sterilizers, we did thorough research on dozens of products on the market and considered various factors including speed, ease of use, countertop space required and cost. If time is an issue for you—perhaps you are pumping or feeding frequently, are headed back to work or have other children to attend to—then you'll want to pay close attention to how long a full sanitizing or sanitizing and drying cycle takes to complete on eacg bottle sterilizer you consider. There are fast ones like the Baby Brezza Superfast Sterilizer Dryer that gets the whole process done in 10 minutes, while others take a longer time, up to an hour or more. This is another factor where your personal needs and uses really matter. Whether you're exclusively pumping and going through tons of pump parts and bottles each day, or just need a sterilizer for a couple of bottles every day, makes a huge difference in how often you need to use one. One that holds a larger capacity of bottles and accessories makes life easier so you only have to run it once to have all your pieces ready to go. Conversely, those who have fewer bottles and parts to wash might do well with a smaller capacity sterilizer that takes up less space. Bottle sterilizers come in all shapes and sizes, and when countertop space is at a premium, size may end up being a deal-breaker for you. Be sure to note the height of any sterilizer you're considering to make sure it easily fits under overhead cabinets or underneath for storage. If you're looking for a portable pick, select something less bulky or one with wheels that make it easier to maneuver around. Not all bottle sterilizers do the same thing. While they all perform basic sterilization, there are a wide variety of additional features that might matter to you in the end (and save you lots of time) depending on what you plan to use the sterilizer for. For instance, some sterilizers also include a dryer. Others have a countdown timer or digital display, so you can see how much time is left in the cycle, while others have timers and auto shut-off functions allowing you to set it once and forget it until you're ready to use the items next. Consider what features are worth the extra price for you and your family's needs. It's up to the parents (and their budget) whether they want to invest in a sterilizer versus boiling bottles and accessories, says Dr. Chang. Factors such as time, cost and counter space all play a role in whether one is 'worth it' for a family. 'There's a set-it-and-forget-it element with sterilizers that allow parents to time things. These conveniences may be important for some families,' she says. According to Dr. Lee, 'It isn't absolutely necessary to sterilize baby bottles all the time, although generally I recommend parents should at least sterilize once before the first use. Then, how often you sterilize would depend on if you have a premature baby or a baby who is battling any health problems. In those cases, there is no set number of times you should sterilize, but once a day would probably be a good place to start.' She recommends talking to your pediatrician about your baby's specific health needs to see if you might need to sterilize bottles more frequently. 'Bottle sterilizers that use steam or UV light are both 99.9% effective at killing germs,' says Schwartz. 'Most consumer-grade sterilizers are technically sanitizing rather than achieving full medical-grade sterilization. Sanitizing means reducing the number of germs to a safe level, while true sterilization eliminates all forms of microbial life, including spores. This level of disinfection is generally sufficient for most healthy infants,' she says. As long as you're following the manufacturer's directions when using a sterilizer, bottle sterilizers are safe and effective at killing germs. Schwartz also says: 'You should dry bottles completely after sterilizing, before storing or using them. Many sterilizers offer a drying function, but if yours doesn't, best practice is to air dry the bottles on a clean towel or rack.'

Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. From the cookin' to the cleanin', we've got you. 1. An apple slicer that makes 16 perfect, thin, snack-size slices every single time. Listen, kids demand a LOT of snacks, so you'll want this secret weapon in your tool belt. Target Promising review:"This slicer works great! I love how smooth it cuts regardless of the shape of the apple. I also love that it has the bottom part to finish, pushing it through at the end. Last, I purposely bought it for the smaller slices, and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend for moms and anyone else who loves apple slices for snacks and meals." — Toddler Mom 2. A 4.5-quart KitchenAid Mixer — a cute and colorful classic because hand mixing takes SO LONG and you are over it. Plus, how adorable will this look on your counter? Target Promising review: " This is a great investment for anyone who loves to cook. We look forward to getting the food mill and pasta maker attachments soon!" — Great Investment 3. A hard-working, multitasking Scrub Mommy sponge that can quickly tackle that dried-out mac 'n' cheese in your favorite pot. It's so efficient both you and the sponge will be smiling at the end. Target 4. A space-saving vertical bottle rack, because dishes already take up enough of your day but this helps dry out the essentials — and quickly. Psst... you can keep using long after you put away the bottles. (It's also great for sippy cups, water bottles... wineglasses.) Target Promising review:"I originally started with using the grass drying rack but had to wash it every day because the water would pool in the tray, and it wasn't very sanitary. This rack has been a lifesaver! I wish I would have started with it. It stands perfectly by itself and holds a good bit! My only complaint is that the top pegs are a little too close to the basket for my Avent bottles to fit very well. Overall, I would highly recommend!" — Reviewer Price: $24.99 5. A Dash egg cooker that will be your absolute favorite thing — no matter what time of day it is. Choose how you want the eggs cooked, set the time, and wait for it to go off. It makes breakfast so easy. Plus, adding hard-boiled eggs to lunchboxes is also a great way to add protein. Target Promising review:"I love this little egg cooker! I used it for hard-boiled eggs, and it cooked the eggs perfectly! The best thing is that they peeled easily! No more tiny pieces of shells that you have to pick off. Easy cleanup, lightweight little machine, and easy to store away." — PB 6. A three-pack of Dr. Brown's bottle cleaners to help get the job done faster than you can say "old milk." Best part? These won't leave any residue or spoiled smell... you know what I'm talking about. It's the worst! Target Promising review:"I love how durable these are! I've been using them for over two years. They do last a good while until you need to replace them. I did so much research on which ones to choose, and these definitely get into every nook and cranny. I love that the bottom can stick onto the sink, and it's removable and easy to clean also. Don't look further; these are definitely the ones you need!" — MamaJ 7. A super durable and leakproof bento box, which will actually help you organize your brain and figure out what you need to put in there. Pssst: If you want to include a sweet treat, M&Ms look pretty cute in the circle compartment. Target Promising review:"I purchased this for my 7-year-old daughter. She had been asking for it after seeing some friends at her school lunch use one. She loves it! She specifically likes that her food stays in its own compartment and doesn't touch. She is a very picky eater, so this is a way to get her to help me get creative and think of ideas for each section. She takes it five days a week to school and has been very happy. No leaks!! Easy to open on her own. Very easy to clean." — mommymo 8. A Dash mini waffle maker that is not only sweet but — more importantly — will get breakfast on the table very, very quickly. Make a few extra and put them in your kiddo's snack bag for later! Target Promising review:"I cannot say enough good things about this little waffle maker. It may be small but it's mighty. It doesn't take up much room, is easy to store/clean, and makes fresh waffles for my family on busy mornings super fast. I just keep some waffle batter in my fridge throughout the week and use a few servings each morning. I never thought I would get as much use out of this as I do." — TeddyOats 9. A Packit freezable lunch bag, so you can load it up with all the goods (sandwiches, berries, cheese sticks, yogurt tubes, etc.) and not worry about being able to find one of those ice packs that always seem to disappear in your freezer. Target Promising review:"My son loves this lunch bag! Best for school lunches. Don't have to worry about ice packs anymore. Going to buy his brother one too." — Scd Price: $20.99 10. A bottle of Dawn Platinum Powerwash spray soap that is really one of those magical products that people use on almost everything. I've even used it to pull a grease stain out of a rug after one of my kids accidentally dropped their dinner. 11. A 6-quart Instant Pot, which is basically like having a sous chef on staff because this 9-in-1 appliance does it all... except put itself in the dishwasher for cleanup (but the lid and inner pot are dishwasher safe)! Target Promising review:"Time and life saver! I get out of work late, so this helps put dinner on the table and in bellies at an appropriate hour. Love it and can't wait to try out all the functions!" — Reviewer 12. An Oxo chopper that will chop, dice, mince, cut, and slice its way into your heart (and kitchen). This time-saver chops vegetables and fruits right into the container, so it keeps things neat and tidy. Did you just whip up a fruit salad? On a weeknight?! Impressive. Target Promising review:"The only thing I regretted about this chopper was not purchasing it sooner! It has saved so much time and effort in chopping vegetables I couldn't be happier." — Jessica 13. A trusty little iRobot Roomba vacuum-and-mop combo to quietly do two of your least favorite chores for you — and it's probably much more effective than having your dog eat any food that your baby threw on the ground. Yes, you really do need to clean under the table. Target Promising review:"The fringe on the rugs is no problem. I was very worried about that. It can get under furniture our vacuum cleaner could never reach. The mop works better than the robot mop I have had for many years." — MCL 14. A set of Souper Cubes so you can save your leftovers, pop them in the freezer, and enjoy them when you need a quick meal later. These are also the MVP of meal prep. (If you have the time to do that!) Target Promising review:"Love these freezing trays. Great for meal prep." — AmosAndy Mom Price: $19.99 15. A stainless-steel, hands-free step trash can that'll really come in handy when your hands are full. Not only gets the job done but is actually surprisingly chic for something that, ya know, holds garbage. Target Promising review:"It looks amazing, very slick and practical! Big but not bulky. I like how there is a plastic bin inside of it, makes it easier to wash if needed." — MarylovesTarget 16. A small-but-mighty Ninja food processor that will quite literally chop your food prep time in half — and can then go right into the dishwasher for easy cleanup. Target Promising review:"I got this tool with low expectations and it has blown me away. I can make dressings that are perfectly blended quickly and it dices onions and garlic in seconds. I don't know how I lived without it. Be careful cleaning it, it's sharp!" — hah 17. A pack of stainless steel wipes because while you absolutely cherish your little's sweet handprints, you'd rather see them on arts and crafts projects than on your appliances. These make cleaning a breeze. Target Promising review:"I've tried a few different stainless steel cleaners, and by far, this one from Weiman is top of the mark! I even use it on my sink when it's wet, and it always dries to a beautiful shine when used on my enamel stove; it is the best for cleaning stainless steel and kitchen appliances! Thank you, Weiman, you're the best!" — Kat Price: $5.99 18. A four-pack sandwich cutter set so you feel like one of those Pinterest-y grown-ups who spends hours making super cute lunches... even though in reality, you threw together a lunch in under five minutes. 19. A pack of Seventh Generation multipurpose cleaning wipes you can use to speedily handle spills and other disasters. I've used these to take marker off our kitchen table... the uses are endless. Target 20. An Oxo mandoline with four interchangeable blades that will make slicing vegetables easy and maybe even a little fun? You'll feel so fancy that you'll start calling recipe prep "mise en place." Target Promising review:"I can't live without it anymore. I sliced an onion in seconds, tomatoes, even pepper, carrots everything. I use to have a chopper but I end up breaking it so I tried this one. I love to have my food ready all the time and it's easy to clean it and has never rusted or broken. I've owned it for 5 months now." — Rain 21. An air fryer, which is totally another one of those "what can't it do?" products. Cook delicious full dinners with it, or reheat leftovers and get those wings and fries extra crispy again. You'll be particularly grateful when your kids are hollering at you! Target Promising review:"Spacious enough to feed my three boys and very easy to use and clean." — phoenix52 22. An oven thermometer to help you get a sense of your oven's actual temperature while you cook and bake. How does this save you time? Well, very often our ovens aren't actually calibrated, so when you *think* the oven is pre-heated, it might actually not be fully there. And then your meal takes even longer to cook than you thought. Or maybe, it's too hot and you accidentally burn it! You get the gist. Target Promising review:"I've used this on my grill and my oven. I primarily use it in my oven now to ensure the temperature is what I want it to be. It has saved me from burning some baked goods. If you're not sure if you oven temperature is accurate, this is a must own. It's cheap but will keep you from burning the food you worked so hard on. It also has a hand hook to the top, so you can hang it on the oven racks." — Kara 23. A salad spinner that isn't just for lettuce (though we love it for that, too). All those berries you're constantly feeding to your kids? Yeah, take those babies for a spin and they'll dry off and last longer! Target Promsing review:"I don't know how I ever washed lettuce (or any other fruits or veggies) before I had this! It makes it so much easier to prep meals." — Dani S Price: $29.99 24. A two-piece grape cutter that will save you time and give you peace of mind as you're frantically putting together lunches and snacks. No judging if you find yourself cutting grapes (and berries, olives, and cherry tomatoes) for yourself later... it's a fun little tool to use. Target Price: $9.99 25. A silicone baking mat, which is a home cook and baker's BFF as they're a dream to work with and super easy to clean. They make sheet pan dinners even easier! And we all LOVE a sheet pan dinner. Target Promising review:"Game changer! Makes cleaning up after cooking so much easier. My sink and dishwasher are small, so washing baking sheets was always a hassle. This solves that problem!" — momo Price: $21.99 Reviews in this post have been edited for length and/or clarity.
