Our family test
Convenient when bottles pile up
The biggest benefit is peace of mind without chemical solution or the limescale left by steam. It is quick to load, simple to start and useful for more than bottles: dummies, teethers and breast-pump parts fit too.
It is not a dryer, so items still need time to air-dry. Careful placement also matters because the UV light needs to reach each surface.
Compared with cold-water sterilising fluid or a microwave steriliser, it costs more upfront but removes the daily water, steam and chemical routine.
Who is it for?
✓ New parents sterilising feeding equipment
✓ Families avoiding chemical solutions
✓ Busy parents who value a quick cycle
✓ Anyone sterilising bottles and small baby items together
Things to consider
• Higher purchase price than basic steam options
• No built-in drying function
• Surfaces need direct exposure to UV light
• Some plastics may discolour over time
