A good bottle sterilizer can save busy parents a lot of time, as well as ensuring that your bottles are free of germs and bacteria. Since sterilizers usually employ steam to clean and sterilize your bottles, the best will also dry your bottles—while taking up limited counter space. Having a surefire way to clean and sterilize your bottles will not only keep your baby happy; it’ll make your life easier. To get the most use out of your sterilizer, you want something that can hold bottles of all shapes and sizes, and even clean other accessories like pacifiers.

To help you find the best bottle sterilizers, we combed through tons of online reviews to find the top products available. While we have thoroughly researched and vetted every product on this list for things like ease of use, user complaints, recalls, and the like, we aren't able to lab-test to determine how well they truly sterilize each bottle. Steam is a very effective sterilizing method when used properly, just make sure the bottles are dried completely and not stored anywhere while damp.

The recommendations in this guide are based on thorough product and market research by our team of expert product reviewers. The picks are based on examining user reviews, product specifications, and, in some limited cases, our experience with the specific products named.

The Baby Brezza bottle sterilizer is a one-step product that’ll automatically sterilize and dry your bottles. Your bottle will stay sterile for up to 24 hours, to boot, if you leave it in the unopened product. This sterilizer also holds up to six bottles, and is roomy enough to clean more at once. What sets this bottle sterilizer apart from others we found is its ability to save you time; you’ll never have to hand dry again.

While there are many upsides to the Baby Brezza, some reviewers wrote that it can be leaky and must be fixed to prevent this. Online reviews also mentioned poor customer service and criticized the longevity of the product.

This product has a flexible and modular design, automatic shutoff, and a fast six-minute cycle. It also uses natural steam to sterilize your bottles. Its design fits many different shapes and sizes of bottles, and will keep them sterilized for up to 24 hours, as long as you keep the lid unopened. The Philips Avent is a great choice for families with limited countertop space.

It’s worth noting that some reviews complained about it not drying bottles easily, and that it may rust. One review also said the power button stopped working after three months of use.

Dr. Brown’s Deluxe Bottle Warmer and Sterilizer is a practical, functional product that can be used to both sterilize and warm your bottles. The upsides? It can also be used to warm baby food, and has an automatic shutoff feature that’ll prevent overheating. This sterilizer also features a one-button start and has a long lasting memory.

Unfortunately, it only holds one bottle at a time, and some user reviews said that it can leak onto your counter.

This bottle sterilizer dries, works with a wide range of bottle types, and has an adjustable capacity. The BabyMoov also features a 4-in-1 design that saves time by sterilizing, drying, deodorizing, and storing within a single button cycle. It’ll also hold up to six bottles at once, as well as other essentials such as pacifiers and teethers. The steam outlets can also be adjusted or removed to best suit your needs.

Reviewers mentioned that this sterilizer saves them a lot of time, but the product’s longevity might be a concern. It’s also worth noting that you should clean it often to prevent calcium-deposit buildup. This sterilizer has a large footprint, too, and is not ideal for wider bottles.

Works with many bottle types

The Tommee Tippee Advanced Steam Electric Sterilizer is the perfect choice for busy parents. With a sterilization cycle of five minutes, it’s one of the fastest on the market. The stackable tray can serve as a drying rack for your bottles. The sterilizer itself can also be used with different bottle brands, and has a one-button automatic shutoff.

While there’s a lot to love about the Tommee Tippee, heavy glass bottles won’t stay upright, and it’s difficult to clean. Some reviews complained about leaks, but most users say it’s an easy-to-clean, less time-consuming product than other brands.
