Dr Brown's Electric Steriliser and Dryer

4.3 (11)
The BubsNest Verdict

The Dr. Brown's Electric Steriliser and Dryer earns strong praise from UK parents for its ability to thoroughly sterilise and dry bottles, pump parts, and other accessories. Many highlight its convenience of handling multiple items at once and keeping contents sterile for up to 24 hours. However, some caution the unit is quite large and bulky, can be noisy during use, and may not fit all bottle types. Overall, it seems a reliable option for sanitising baby gear, though parents with limited counter space or seeking a quieter model may want to consider alternatives.

Conseils de parents

Before You Buy

Measure your available counter space to ensure the steriliser's large footprint will fit comfortably.

Getting the Most Out of It

Use the included measuring cup to add the right amount of distilled water for each cycle.

Safety Note

Avoid using any descaling products, and only use white vinegar to descale the unit as recommended.

Second-hand Savvy

Check the condition of the HEPA filters if purchasing a used steriliser, as they need replacing every 6 months.
