Better than I expected!
I received this about a week ago and have definitely been impressed! We have used the Dr. Brown’s bottles since our baby was born and have looked at the sterilizer a couple times but never got one thinking it was pointless because I can just wash them. BUT now that I have one I wish I had gotten it months ago! I have both glass and plastic bottles and they both fit perfectly in there. I love that it dries the bottles afterwards too! I also love that I can put pacifiers and teething rings in there and continue to use it as she grows for when she transitions to sippy cups and straws. I definitely would recommend it
Issues after two months
We got this for baby shower gift and loved it. We used it to sterilize everything properly for our baby in the NiICU. We are now on time seems to be making monocracy, loud sound, and becoming less effective by the day. We hope that when we reach out to customer service, they will provide a replacement part or replace the defective machine. I’ll be more than willing to revise this once we speak with their customer service, and I learn how they take care of their customers needs for defective products. Stay tuned for more.
Effective sterilizer and dryer!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try - My favorite feature of this sterilizer is how sleek, compact, and functional it is. I did not use a sterilizer for my first baby, but with this baby, it has been great! It is easy to use and effective for not only bottles, but pump parts and pacifiers as well! I would highly recommend the bottle sterilizer. It fits everything I want to sterilize at once and it is highly effective. I love how it only takes a few minutes, and I don't have to worry about forgetting a pot of boiling water on the stove!
Such a great addition to the Dr. B family!
I started using Dr. Browns Bottles with my last couple of children and I wish I would have used them for all! BUT I always wished there was a bottle sterilizer that fit all their little pieces AND the bottles and nipples too! With this it does all that and MORE! I love that it fits other brands too like my older daughters sippy cups so I can just throw it in there. And even though I am an "older mother" sterilizing is still just as ever important to us now because of what's going on today in the world. You just can never be too careful!
Time saver!
I received the Dr. Browns sterilizer and dryer for free in exchange for an honest review. I have been very pleased with the product thus far. I have twins, and this is a huge time saver on the multitude of bottles, pacifiers, and breast pump parts. The drying feature is so nice. If I had one critique it’s that I wish the drying feature was faster (~ 35 minutes) it’s still way faster than the items sitting out to dry, plus as long as the sterilizer stays closed, everything remains sterile for 24 hours. All in all, 5 stars!
Works Great!
Dr Brown's gave me this bottle sterilizer and dryer and it works really great. Its large enough to hold multiple bottles. I also sterilize pacifiers and teething toys as well. This device is really easy to use. It as simple and putting everything in and pushing a button. The top rack holds bottle tops and other small things easily. The dry setting works well too. I love knowing that my childs bottles are getting the extra step to clean. Overall, I would definitely recommend this sterilization system.
A must
No more boiling bottles for me! And I’ll say I’m so thrilled that I don’t have to boil them no more! It is a job of its own! This device is a must have for every parent or guardian. It can sterilize up to 6 bottles at a time. But it also has a tray to add the nipples and pacifiers and even breast pump parts. It’s very convenient and all I have to do is set it and turn it on. It kills the bacteria and comes with a filter that needs changed every six months. It’s made very well. And easy for me to use.
Amazing steralizer!
I've always used and loved Dr Brown's products! Before receiving the sterilizer and dryer I used the basic Dr Brown sterilizer. Let me start by saying the original Dr Brown sterilizer was amazing; however, I hated that the bottles always came out wet and I had to hand dry them to put them away. Fast forward to the sterilizer and dryer, it works just as you'd imagine. It sterilizes quickly and dries perfectly. It saves so much time and the fact that I can just take the bottles straight out assemble them, cap them, and put them in the cupboard for future use is such a tim saver. It's so nice to have peace of mind that I know my little boy has a clean bottle each feeding. The top tray also works well for all of his pacis and my breast pump parts! I can see myself using this for a long time!!!
Conveniently stopped working 90 days in
A full refund if offered if not satisfied after 90 days. Our dryer completely stopped working after 112 days. This is our second baby, and we used the original sterilizer back in 2020. It lasted the entire year we needed it despite not using distilled water like described in the instructions. This time around we strictly used distilled water every single time, and descaled monthly. More expensive of a product, and only lasted 1/4 of the time.
Life saver
Honestly, I’m amazed how well and easy this thing works. The instructions are so easy to follow, it holds 6 bottles and a lot of pacifiers, nipples and etc. I use it pretty much every day and feel so relieved my baby had clean, sanitized bottles as he loves to throw them on the floor. I don’t really have any complaints or issues. It shuts off automatically which is always a plus. Overall, I think it’s a must have for parents, in my opinion, just need to get a bunch of distilled water.
Terrible Product
Never worked from day one. The drying fan growls and grinds and shuts the machine down. What a waste of money. Unit is only 5 weeks old and used for 1 weeks of those 5.
Love the drying feature!
I received the Dr. Browns Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer as after for my feedback. Let me tell you how awesome this machine is! I loved the drying feature the most. It takes about 45 minutes to sterilize and dry, but the bottles are clean and dry. The buttons are easy to operate. The only thing that I didn't like is that it uses distilled water only. Other than that this is a great tool to sterilize baby parts. I even sterilized my breast pump parts and it worked like a dream!
Baby bottle sterilizer and dryer
This bottle sterilizer and dryer has been the best for us. We have a busy household so sanitizing and drying bottle used to be time consuming but with this product we can place them and forget about them until they are done because of the auto off feature. This effectively sanitizes bottle and the tray inside is great for sanitizing the pacifiers also. I definitely recommend this product especially for busy moms and dads. I received this product as a free gift from Dr. Brown.
Makes busy mom life easier!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and I knew that I would use it, but I didn't realize how much I would love it. My baby was born at 31 weeks gestation and the NICU instilled how important sanitizing bottles was. I was always stuck tossing them in a bag with water in the microwave. NOT ANYMORE! This product is amazing. The dryer works amazing too! I just toss them in the sterilizer and head to bed! In the morning I have perfectly clean bottles. This is a MUST HAVE.
Easy to Use
Thank your for allowing me to review this product. I love this bottle sterilizer and dryer for bottles. It makes it so easy to clean, sterilize and dry your bottles. Previously I was just sticking everything in my dishwasher but when COVID hit I wanted that extra sterilization step. This product also makes it so much easier to dry the product. The set it and forget it is a great feature. I would recommend this product to anyone who will be bottle feeding.
Works great
I received this gifted by Dr. Browns for my honest feedback. This is an easy to use bottle sterilizer and dryer. It's very easy to understand and use. The removable tray inside is great for holding bottle nipples and pacifiers. I use this everyday and it's very convenient and dependable. I absolutely love the auto shut off feature so I can go about my housework without worry. I would recommend this to all moms. This is a must have in our home now.
Cheap Cheap Cheap Construction
This product did not survive its first cleaning. Went to descale per instructions, and now the unit is completely dead. This is just another example of an overpriced but extremely cheap-constructed product.
Love the Dryer Feature!!
Game changer for me and bottle feeding my baby. I was spending so much time washing and drying bottles, but this little thing sanitizes them for me AND leaves them completely dry! I just turn it on to run every time I’m done pumping and it’s all ready to go by the next time I need it. So. Much. Time. Saved. The only thing I dislike is even with distilled water, the metal plate gets all gross and I have to clean out the brown gunk each cycle.
Wish I had it sooner!
I received this product from Dr Browns to review and I love it. I wish I would have had it for my first born too! It makes it so easy to sterilize not only bottles but pacifiers too! And everything actually DRIES after it’s done! The only downfall is you need to make sure to use distilled water with it. We are always running humidifiers in our kids room so we typically have distilled water but this could be a hassle for others.
The best thing out there
First off Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try for my honest review. I believe this is one of the best things out there. It did wonders when cleaning and sanitizing my grandsons bottles. And the fact that it also drys the bottles is a plus it makes it so much easier when I need to make sure his bottles are good to go. T was very easy to use and the drying time was not to bad as well. I will definitely recommend it to everyone
Great bottle warmer!!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and I have to say I love it! While it is not as big as some other bottle warmers it does work better with some of my pump parts. I exclusively pump and use a lot of parts throughout the day so that is very important for me. I also love that it can be used as just a dryer. It dries parts for my Willow pump really well. It's almost impossible to air dry those so the dry is really helpful.
Great product
I recieved this product in exchange for my honest review. The only sterilizer I have ever used before is a microwave sterilizer. I greatly appreciated this sterilizer. I love that it's electric & that it is also dries! This saves a ton of time, so you don't have to wait for the bottle to air dry. Sterilized bottles and pacifiers are more important now than ever before and this sterilizer absolutely gets the job done!
Dries bottles amazingly
This sterilizer is great! Very easy to use, just load it up, add water, and push two buttons! My favorite feature is the drying function. It gets the bottles completely dry, and I have taken down the multiple drying racks that I previously had on my counter and replaced them with this. I have also put sippy cups, pumping supplies, and teething toys in this sterilizer/dryer, and it worked wonderfully for all of them!
Completely pleased!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and I am beyond ecstatic about how easy this product made my daily life as a mom. I am able to do more than just sterilize bottles, I use it for teething rings, small toys, pacifiers, etc. I can notice a difference since I began using this on the quality of clean the items come out versus just handwashing alone and air dry. I highly recommend this to mothers of all ages!
Easy to use but difficult to maintain
I received this product from dr browns to try. It was very easy to setup and use. The buttons are pretty simple and can be used per convenience. The bottle look dry and clean after the full cycle. The only thing that i felt could be improved is you have to put water in for every cycle. If there was a little tank to put the water in, so that it can be used atleast 2-3 times with one refill, it would be great.
Very Handy
The Doctor Brown's Baby Bottle Sterlizer and Dryer is very nice and handy to have. I was able to pull it out of the box and use immediately. All I needed was to add distilled water. It is such a relief knowing my child's bottle are fully sterilized and dried completely. There's no chance for germs to build up on his bottles. After using, you must clean the unit to prevent and build up on the plates.
Absolute must have!!
I received this product from Dr. Browns to try out in exchange for my honest review. I absolutely love that I’m able to sterilize more than one bottle at a time. This has made things super easy and convenient for me. This product has been great and I love that it kills up to 99% of bacteria. This is overall such an amazing product and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone.
Great product, works as advertised!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and it is a great sterilizer and dryer. It works as advertised and bottles come out dry. Conveniently you can run it on just sterilize, just dry, or both, which is great if you are looking for just one of those functions. One hitch is that it requires distilled water for sterilizing and mentions that use of tap water voids the warranty.
Stops working after 5 times
Used it 5 times and the dryer no longer works. Very disappointed with the product.
Save time with Dr. Brown's Clean Steam Bottle
I am super happy with my new Dr. Brown's Clean Steam Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer because it is easy to use and saves me a lot of time. Before having this sterilizer I had to dry the bottles with a towel which is uncomfortable. Dr Brown's Sterilizer and Dryer is the best. Bottles clean, sterilized and dried by a machine from a company that entrusted the health of my baby.
Easy to use and spacious
I thought I wouldn't like the size of this, and didn't think I'd ever need this, but it was definitely worth it after using for a week. I had previously been using the Dr. Brown's sterilizing bags, and this is so much easier. It fits A TON of items, like baby teethers, pacifiers, bottles, pump parts, etc and you just basically set it up and turn it on. Very easy to use.
Very easy to use and efficient!
This sterilizer is so fast and efficient! My old microwave sterilizer never dried the bottles all the way and I always felt they were never sterilized really well. It always took forever to do it in the microwave as well. This is quick and very quiet. The bottles come out looking new! I have been using it every night especially with the cold and flu season coming up.
Convenient
I got this as a gift. Within a few weeks it would not sterilize, they sent me a new one. It's very handy for drying items fast. One thing I HATE is when it's done drying it beeps SO loud like 4 or 5 times. There is no reason for that many beeps at at a loud volume. Clearly it's for people who have a baby and loud random noise are not helpful if baby is sleeping.
Amazing Product!!!
Got this like a month ago. It works great. It's the perfect size does not take up a lot of space , so that's great. Also has the options of only drying & only sterilizing or doing both which is great one I only need the drying part . Easy to set up & use. & you can also use other bottle brands. We really really like our DrBrowns bottle sterilizer & dryer!!
Literal life saver
I had the original dr brown’s sterilizer and it did its job. However this one has an included dryer and hepa filter which in today’s climate makes me feel really good that all the germs and bacteria and coming off my babies bottle. I’m seriously obsessed with this thing. It’s very important you use distilled water. Regular water burns on the heating plate.
Very spacious
I was given this item for free by Dr. Browns for my honest opinion. Honestly, make the cord a little longer! It limited the options for where I could plug it in. What it lacked on cord length it made up for in the compartment to sterilize. It's huge!!!! Very tall. I can fit my pumping parts without an issue. Much more spacious than my microwave sanitizer.
Easy to use/works great
I got this dryer/sterilizer for free from Dr. Browns for my honest review. I am so pleased with this, it is so easy to set up and use. It comes with an extra filter that goes on the bottom. The machine comes in 4 pieces, the base the plastic part for bottles and bigger things, the middle for the caps and smaller things and the lid. It also comes with a measuring cup to make sure you measure the correct amount of water. It is so easy to turn on you can pick to dry, sterilize or both. I use the feature for both. It is nice to press the button and walk away, when you come back everything is sterilized and dry.
I loved it at first but then.. the parts dont fit
I bought this and for the first 10 uses loved the machine. It did everything it promised. It is also quiet. However, I washed the parts in very warm water and now the parts do not fit together - see photo. So disappointed. Now, all the steam escapes and I have to assume it does not sterilize anymore. Will have to throw this out and get another one. This is very expensive if it will only last 10 uses.
Love this sterilizer/dryer!
Dr. Brown’s sent me this product to test out and I was very impressed with it. I love that you can sterilize or dry your bottles, binkis, etc. in it. I used a microwaveable one prior to this. But I love that this has the drying option! I have it on my counter and it doesn’t take up much space or look bad sitting there. I would definitely buy this product and recommend it to friends.
Perfect!
I love that the machine is more square shaped then round it fits my counter top perfect without taking up to much space. I also like that I have the option to sterilize, dry, or both at the same time. The shelf is an extra bonus that comes in handy for all the small parts. The machine works great I do recommend wiping down after use.
Bad customer service product not working
The customer service was very bad. The product I bought was not working in fact it had been used before. Unfortunately because am in another country outside the US I was told I can’t even get my refund. What a loss never buying any Dr Brown items.
SO convenient!
It works amazing! I love that you can use the dry feature separately and it leaves our bottles/ pump parts crystal clear! Makes sterilizing everything so convenient.
Absolute waste of money
We love dr browns. Unfortunately this is an awful product and of course the most expensive. I think it worked one time
A must have!
The Dr. Brown's Sterilizer with Dryer is a must have gadget for those wanting to sterilize bottles, pacifiers, pump parts and more. This allows 4 different options: sterilize only, dry only, sterilize/dry combo, or storage mode. From my experience, sterilize only takes about 15-20 minutes from start to cool down, dry only takes about 45 minutes, and the sterilize/dry combo takes about an hour. I tend to wash everything in the evening and put them into the sterilizer for an overnight cycle so it is all ready by morning. The auto-shutoff is a great feature for me, as is being able to keep them sanitized overnight while in storage. This includes a HEPA filter and an extra filter is also provided. Hopefully replacements will be readily available at retailers. I have non Dr Brown's bottles and they fit in the bottom just fine. Pacifiers and bottle accessories fit in the top with ease. I have to put pump parts in both top and bottom sections. I can usually fit an entire day's worth of stuff in one cycle during the week, but find myself only running it as needed on the weekends since I tend to not pump or bottle feed these days. This takes up a small footprint in my kitchen, yet fulfils all of my sterilizing needs. I highly recommend this to all parents of little ones. Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and opinions are my own.
Amazing And a Must Have Product
I love this Dr Brown’s Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer! I am always concerned about my babies bottles being thoroughly clean and germ free, but this has made things so much easier for me. It is made of high quality material and so easy and convincing to use. This is absolutely the best to give me peace of mind that my bottles are sterilized and clean.
Love this thing!
As a new mom, I constantly stress over every little thing and potential danger that could endanger my child's welfare. After hearing horror stories of newborn babies getting thrush and the tough, miserable time they had of it I became incredibly paranoid that that was going to happen to my baby girl and simply washing the bottles and nipples by hand and boiling them over the stove didn't satisfy my concerns. Investing in this appliance was a wonderful idea. It eased my mind and is incredibly convenient because it not only sterilizes and thoroughly dries the bottles and nipples but also all parts of various breast pumps, pacifiers, and teethers as well. It fits all different shapes, sizes and brand bottles. I highly recommend that all new moms get one of these.
Simple and quick!
Dr. Browns sent me this sterilizer to test out and I highly recommend it! Sterilizing bottles and pacifiers in it is so much easier and faster than boiling with a pot or using a microwave bag. You can just set it and forget it! And I was able to fit several bottles in it at a time. Love it!
Awesome features!
I was lucky enough to receive the Dr brown sterilizer and dryer to review and I absolutely love it! I sterilize pump and bottle parts weekly and while steaming them in bags work fine this product also dries them! And that is perfect since we have "hard water". Stuff tends to have spots left on parts from all the minerals in our water. It's very light and I'm able to put it on a top shelf when not in use without fear that I'll hurt myself.
Dr. Brown’s Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer
I always have wanted/needed one of these a sterilizer & dryer for my babies. Never did i think it would come all in one! Dr brown's is a great brand. This is so much easier then boiling water & sterilizing on stove. The bottles stand up nicely. So do the pacifiers. They do good job of sterilizing & drying the bottles. Not so loud, which i was surprised of. Helps keeping my babies asleep. Comes with a HEPA filter. Measuring cup. They also have 3 options to choose from if i choose to sterilize or dry only or both! Excellent feature with auto-shut off, so convenient! Great design. Works great! All positive opinions from using this Dr. Brown’s Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer. My family loves it! So if u are like myself & have babies & are really in use for a sterilizer/dryer in one machine, then i suggest try this one by Dr Brown's, cause it's high quality with good features & works great all in one! I received this Dr. Brown’s Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer for free in exchange for a review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Life changer!
Dr. Brown’s gave me this product to try and it’s a complete life changer! I used to stand there drying my sons bottles, bottle accessories, tethers, etc. the process seemed to take forever but this has made life so much easier. Gives me more time to spend with my little man. I will say it would be nice if the lid and tray had some sort of clasp to hold them together so that when you lift the lid you also lift the tray and easily get to the bottom to put the bigger items. Regardless, it gets the job done in about 45 minutes. It actually dries everything even the bottle nipples and baby medicine syringes that are harder to hand dry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Effective At Serving It's Intended Purpose!
My family was in the market for a new sterilizer and dryer so, we were really excited after learning about Dr. Brown's Clean Steam Sterilizer and Dryer. While testing out this sterilizer and dryer, we found this product to be likable. It is easy to set up and use. We also like that, this product is effective at cleaning both baby bottles and pacifiers. If given the opportunity, I would highly recommend Dr. Brown's Clean Steam Sterilizer and Dryer. It is a practical and simple sterilizer and dryer that, serves it’s intended purpose.
Incredible Drying Capability
I received this product from Dr. Brown's as a promotional product in return for an honest review. As an individual that primarily uses my dishwasher to clean and sterilize my bottles, I was unsure how I would feel about the product because it would be more labor intensive. The very first day I tested this product, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much cleaner the bottles and accessories appeared because they did not have water spots. I was also very happy that this doesn't take long to completely dry everything, even when I have it completely full. Even though this has the functionality to perform a dry cycle without sterilization, I do not see the point in this because it only adds about 10 minutes to the process. Overall, I was extremely happy in the performance of this product and I would highly recommend to others.
Everything you need in one!
I was given the opportunity to test this product in return for my honest opinion. Upon receiving this sterilizer/dryer I was impressed! It was very easy to put together and the instructions were clear. I feel that it did a great job sterilizing the bottles, as I was always worried that I wasn't hand cleaning my baby's Dr. Brown bottles well enough due to the multiple parts. I now have confidence that my baby is drinking from a clean and healthy bottle. This product is big enough for multiple bottles. It also isn't super loud and annoying. This is going to make my life so much better. I will recommend to friends and family with babies.
Upgrade!
This was an upgrade from another bottle sterilizer. And it not only met but exceeded my expectations. My former sterilizer not not dry, and let me tell you I didn't know what I was missing not having that feature. The fan does make some noise, but nothing bothersome. I do wish there was an option to turn off the beeping to alert you the cycle has finished but only because it makes my dogs bark. The full sterilizer and dry cycle takes about 45 minutes so I do appreciate the option to sterilizer only. It's a pretty tall unit and takes of a bit of countertop space, but it's footprint is smaller than my older unit so it wasn't an issue for me. All in all it a great product, I wish I had started off with it to begin with.
Huge and takes too long
I received this as a product tester. It holds 6 bottles and/or pump parts and a few toys and teethers on the top. It takes about an hour from start to finish for the whole cycle which was way too long for me. I typically use the microwave sterilizing bags and could do the same amount of items for about 6 minutes instead of an hour. Also, it's huge! I was shocked when the box was delivered. If you have limited counter/storage space, this is not for you.
Dr Brown's Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer
This unit have 9 parts and pamphlet with easy instructions to follow. I wipe out the unit first with vinegar , water and only use distilled water for clean the bottles or small toys. I just set up the bottles in the unit and press the button that simple afterwards I let the unit cool down and only touch the handle at top because the unit get hot. I think it does a excellent job clean everything I need for the baby. I almost forgot it come with a filter but need to be replace every 6 months and 1 year warranty on the unit. Dr. Brown's gave me this product to try and ask me to give my honest review for exchange.
Dr. Brown’s clean Steam Bottle Sterilizer
Dr Brown's evaporator is a high quality product, easy to use, it has the instructions to install it, when using it it is easy for me I have used it since I received it and I liked it very much, it leaves the bottles clean and free of germs that they may have It makes my days easier by washing my baby's bottles and I feel safe and satisfied with the work that the sterilizer does. I have received this from Dr Brown.
Terrible customer service
I purchased one three months ago before I had my baby. It was only used for about two months and stopped working on me. When I contacted the customer support, I had told them How my product stopped working And they replied back, asking me 1 million questions about how I’m using the product and etc. I kept sending them the proof that they were asking for and yet they proceeded to keep asking questions. I felt like I was being interrogated or they weren’t believing that product was not working for me. I gave up Going back-and-forth with them through email Decided to purchase a new one through baby breeza. It was such a waste of time contacting customer service through Dr. Brown’s, It was poor customer service. I recommend Going and buying elsewhere because if something happens to your product, it’s more of a hassle to even get any resolution. Also, the customer service lady who I was emailing Did not sound professional.
Easy solution to sterilizing!
Got this as a product sample to review. Before having this, I was boiling my own bottles in hot water and leaving to dry. The pros: fits more than you think! Has a large open space for bottles and then a tray at top for all the small pieces! It’s super easy to use. Add water, put the stuff in, and turn on. It’s literally set it and forget it! Con: the one thing is that the drying option takes awhile. The instructions say it could take up to 45 mins. I just turned it on and walked away so not sure how long it actually takes, but if you’re in a pinch this could take a while
Must Have
Life with a newborn or small infant can be difficult, overwhelming, and crazy. Anything that can make my life a little easier is totally worth it! The Dr. Brown’s Bottle Sterilizer and Dryer is one of those things. I’ve tried a few others in the past, but they never fit my Dr. Brown’s bottles just right. We are a Dr. Brown’s exclusive family when it comes to bottles, so it just makes sense to get the sterilizer and dryer that matches. It works extremely well and efficiently. I wasn’t always the best about sterilizing bottles because it was so inconvenient, but now I do it all the time! I received this free for testing purposes, but opinions are all my own.
So handy!
I have been using a bottle drying rack to dry all the bottles and accessories and have to leave it for a few hours to dry, this cut that time by more than half. I love the drying feature. It does take 45 minutes but that greatly improves letting everything air dry. I used the sanitizing and drying combo cycle which was good and also just drying cycle but I plan on really only using the drying feature on a daily basis. The fan is very quiet and turns off on its own. The whole machine is a bit big (tall) but if you load it up with the days bottles you dont have to keep emptying and refilling. Overall I'm happy with this product. Just the drying feature alone is a huge help to my daily routine. I was given this product by Dr. Brown's for free to try and in exchange for a review.
Major upgrade!
I got this a few wild before giving birth to my firstborn, but had so much baby stuff, I didn’t get around to opening it right away. First few weeks, I was boiling bottles and leaving them on a rack to dry before trying this product. Once I tried this out, I was kicking myself for not using it sooner! Very efficient for bottle sterilizing AND drying! I only removed one star because I lost the measuring cup after a few months of use & can’t seem to find it online. I’m currently experimenting different amounts of water, but the machine will not run with the exact recommended amount so I am at a bit of a loss. Still an amazing product overall! (Hope they come out with a bottle washer next! Lol)
LOTS of space to sterilize many items at once
I have the Dr brown bottles and I love them, but it hard to sterilize in my dishwasher. I got the steam sterilizer and dryer and it was super simple! I loves that it was a one stop shop. It's big enough for UP TO SIX BOTTLES! I had another sterilizer and it didn't have a basket for my small items and it only allowed 2 bottles! It also didn't have instructions, the Dr Brown's sterilizer even had PICTURES in its instruction booklet on how to organize the bottles and the nipples, the valves, and even any other item that needs sterilizing, like soothers, teething ring, etc.
Quiet, effective and quick! A must have!
I chose to get Dr. Brown's Clean Steam bottle sterilizer and dryer as it was time for an update from my old one. Compared to my old machine by a different brand, this one makes less loud noise when it's done and does a great job at quickly sterilizing bottles for my kids. I've used water bottles, baby bottles, straws, baby cups, pacifiers, and many other items. I love how easy and quickly it is to use this machine without waking up the baby. I also really liked that it comes with an extra HEPA filter (2 to be exact!). Each HEPA filter lasts 6 months, which is nice as it's one less item I have to worry about when taking care of a baby and older brothers. You have 3 options: sterilize, dry only or combination (my favorite one!). It also includes a measuring cup for adding water, well thought out design! It also has an auto shut off when you get busy with the kids. Weigh about 5 lbs, which is very light to move around the counter or out of the box. Unlike my previous sterilizer, this one actually gets the job done and leaves my bottles nice and dry. I am extremely happy with the results of this product. Super easy to clean and set up! I am a huge fan of this modern looking design, as well as the lid. Very slick, dark, but enough to see your bottles, teethers, and toys. It does take a bit of space on the counter but a well worth the investment. Dr. Brown gave me this product to try and I absolutely loved it! Based on my positive experience I would highly recommend this sterilizer.
Amazed
Yall this is the bomb!! I have never said those words before.But this product deserves it. I am thrilled that Dr brown allowed me to try this for my honest review.I do recall my mothers stories of how she had to boil water on the stove to sterilize bottles and nipples.Boy when she saw this and all the stuff it does she said wow you got a spaceship!But really this is almost a do it all product,Steams,sterilizer, all in one.Can hold all sizes and shapes of dr brown bottles.Pacifers all kind of bikes.The dryer is awesome extra feature.It has lightened my load a great deal.That's why its the bomb in mine and my mothers eyes.I almost forget also comes with a filter.
Easy to Sterilize and dry the baby bottle...
This Dr.Brown clean steam bottle sterilizer and dryer saves lots of time for me. This comes with instructions and It is so easy to use. Use distilled water only. I am very happy that I can only sterilize or dry or do both with my newborn baby bottles. I am very happy And satisfied using it. It makes the bottle sterilization and drying so easy for me. This is good size to sterilize 6 bottles at one go.
A Major Time Saver!
Dr. Browns was nice enough to send me this sterilizer in exchange for a review after I contacted this with interest in this product and I absolutely love it. I had a microwaveable sterilizer before this one that worked fine with my first when I was a new mom and felt like I had all the time in the world to delicately prepare my baby’s bottles. I’d wash them, then put them in the sterilizer, then steam them, then dry them, then put them away. It was a process. With my Dr Browns sterilizer though, I just have to wash the bottles, put them in there, push the button and let it do it’s thing. I don’t even have to put the bottles away, I just use them straight from the machine because it actually looks like a contemporary kitchen gadget sitting on my counter! It steams the bottles silently and then dries them, I repeat it DRIES THEM!!! Have you ever painstakingly tried to shove a clean kitchen towel into the tiny neck of a baby bottle to try to get the last of the water out of it? It’s not fun, and with this you’ll never have to do it again! The dryer is also much quieter than I thought it would be, about as loud as a pot of boiling water in my kitchen would be the closest comparison, definitely not as loud as my dishwasher. I really like that it’s large enough to fit a couple bottles and all of my pump parts, and even a handful of pacifiers and teethers in the top, but it has a very small footprint on my counter. I wish I put this on my registry, I could have started using this as soon as my son was born.
I bought this a week ago and first time i used im satisfied with how it sterilized and dry the feeding bottles but what i had noticed and dissapointed about, the plate even though im using distilled water to sterilized rust is building up on the plate after every session of sterilize and dry. I dont know but maybe the plate is not stailess steel. Instead of weekly cleaning of plate im doing it after used and puuting some white vinegar to remove the rust.

Reddit user buys Dr. Brown's sterilizer for convenience despite having a dishwasher
I bought a sterilizer simply because I'm sick of hand washing all these pump parts and bottles. It's not that I needed to sterilize, but the drying function is what I really wanted. I have the Dr. Brown's one and it's been great. The drying function works very well, I almost never put a bottle back on the drying rack with water spots.

Comparison thread between Dr. Brown's and Baby Brezza sterilizers
I have the Dr. Brown's and love it. We use Dr. Brown's bottles so it made sense. I've heard the Brezza is similar but more expensive. The Dr. Brown's holds 6 bottles and dries them well. It's a workhorse and I don't regret buying it. Some people have had issues but mine has been running for 8 months now with no problems.

User asks if Dr. Brown's sterilizer is worth it, gets mixed feedback
I was thinking of getting this but I've seen some reviews that it breaks after a few months. Also it beeps SO loud when it's done. No way to turn it off. For the price though it's hard to beat. I'm going to try it anyway because I need the drying function. Edit: I bought it and it's been working great for the few weeks I've had it.

Parents of multiples compare Dr. Brown's and Baby Brezza for twins
We have the Dr. Brown's sterilizer/dryer for our twins. We've been using it for 7 months now and it's still going strong. When we were looking we saw that the Baby Brezza had some issues with mold in the water tank which scared us away. The Dr. Brown's uses steam so there's no tank to clean. We can fit 6 bottles at once and it dries them in about 45 mins.

User compares drying times of different sterilizers including Dr. Brown's
I use the Dr. Brown's sterilizer and dryer. The full cycle is about 55 minutes which is a long time but it gets everything completely dry. I run it once in the morning and once at night. Sometimes I wish it was faster but I can't complain because it really does work. Much better than air drying.

Breastfeeding mom recommends Dr. Brown's for pump parts and bottles
I love my Dr. Brown's sterilizer! It makes my life so much easier. I use it for all my pump parts and bottles. The drying feature is the best part—I hated having wet parts all over the counter. The only downside is the price but I got mine as a gift. It's definitely worth it if you can swing it.
