Lil' Bubba's Verdict
From parents who've worn more milk than they've served
The Tommee Tippee Ultra UV steriliser takes a completely different approach to traditional steam sterilisers. Instead of boiling water and dealing with wet bottles, it uses ultraviolet light to kill 99.9% of bacteria, then dries everything with warm air. The result is dry, sterile bottles ready to use immediately — no more shaking water out of teats. It holds six bottles and the storage mode keeps contents sterile for up to 24 hours. The trade-off is the price and the fact that coloured bottles take longer to sterilise than clear ones.
What Parents Love
- •Dry Bottles: The biggest advantage over steam sterilisers. Bottles come out completely dry and ready to fill. No more water pooling in teats or having to air-dry.
- •No Water or Chemicals: No descaling, no refilling water, no sterilising tablets. Just place bottles in, press a button, and walk away.
- •24-Hour Sterile Storage: The storage mode runs a UV cycle every 2 hours to keep contents sterile. You can grab a bottle at 3am knowing it is clean.
- •Quiet Operation: Significantly quieter than steam sterilisers. The drying fan is audible but gentle — it will not wake a sleeping baby in the next room.
Things to Consider
- •Price: At 100 pounds, it costs 2-3 times more than a basic steam steriliser. The convenience is real but the premium is significant.
- •Coloured Bottles Take Longer: Clear bottles sterilise in 10 minutes, but coloured bottles need 35 minutes. If you use coloured Tommee Tippee bottles, factor in the extra time.
- •Size: The unit is larger than most steam sterilisers. It needs a permanent spot on the kitchen worktop — it is not something you put away between uses.
- •UV Bulb Replacement: The UV bulb has a finite lifespan and will eventually need replacing. Replacement bulbs are available but add to the ongoing cost.
Best For
- Parents who are tired of dealing with wet bottles from steam sterilisers
- Night-feed parents who want grab-and-go sterile bottles at any hour
- Those who use clear bottles and want the fastest 10-minute sterilise cycle
- Families who want a low-maintenance, set-and-forget sterilisation routine
Not Ideal For
- Budget-conscious parents — a 30-pound steam steriliser does the core job
- Parents who exclusively use coloured bottles — the 35-minute cycle reduces the speed advantage
- Those with limited worktop space in a small kitchen
Pro Tips from Parents
Use clear bottles if possible — they sterilise in 10 minutes versus 35 for coloured ones. The time difference is significant during night feeds.
Run the storage mode overnight so bottles are sterile and ready for the first morning feed.
The filter is washable and reusable. Clean it monthly to maintain drying efficiency.
