Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Steriliser, Dryer and Storage for Baby Bottles and Accessories, New and Improved, Kills Viruses and 99.9% Bacteria**, Steam-Free, Starbeam

Product Information

To keep everything sterile, we would recommend keeping the bottles and their teats/lids in the steriliser until you need to use them. If that's not possible, make sure the teats/lids and bottles are stored away somewhere clean, with teats/lids put on the bottles as soon as they're removed from the steriliser. How long do bottles stay sterile for once out of steriliser? Using the power of UV, the best UV sterilisers can sterilise your baby's bottles in as little as three minutes with no need for cooling or drying. It's one of the more advanced sterilising options. Christine: I would definitely recommend this product to my other mum friends and colleagues. The product looks good sitting on your kitchen worktop, it's easy to use and makes life very easy knowing you’ve always got a clean sterilised bottle in there ready to go. It would also be easy to explain to someone else to use if you had grandparents/babysitters. Would you choose the Tommee Tippee Ultra above all others on the market? Remember – if you open the door to the steriliser at any point during the cycle then the cycle will pause. If this happens during sterilisation its best to start that cycle again. To stop a function at any point press the button that is in use until the lights are no longer illuminated.

Space: How much room do you have for a steriliser? Can you stretch to a larger one that will sterilise several bottles at once? Or do you need a more compact product? Auto mode​: This 60-minute setting dries your cleaned bottles, then automatically switches to sterilizing cycle. ​ Drying & storage function: Choose between a 30, 40 or 50-minute drying cycle. Use the storage function to store your sterilised bottles and accessories in a sterile environment Breast milk is the perfect first food for your baby, as it's easy to digest and full of all the nutrients they need. But it also contains bacteria that can upset your baby's tummy if traces are left on feeding equipment and given time to multiply. That's why we sterilise our babies' bottles, as this is the best way to kill bacteria. It's important to know how to sterilise baby bottles and equipment correctly, as it'll make it impossible for germs to survive and be passed on to your baby. You can't sterilise baby bottles without some kind of baby steriliser, as it's the best way to kill bacteria, so it's important to find one that works for you and your routine.

The best baby bottle sterilisers for 2021 are:

A: You get a spare sponge filter with the product, you can use this spare if you have lost or damaged the original sponge filter. The option chosen will then flash to show the function when in use. The countdown timer will show how long is left in the cycle. Whether you are planning to breastfeed or bottle feed your baby, a steriliser is always handy to have. If you are not using baby bottles, you might still need a steriliser for dummies or teething toys for your baby. Storage: So you can keep your feeding essentials inside a clean environment until you’re ready to use them. You can even open the door and remove items then choose the storage program again to keep everything sanitized. This mode emits 5 minutes of UV light and 5 minutes of drying power every 2 hours to keep contents sterile. The UV light also helps our glow in the dark products such as the night-time breast-like soother glow for longer. Malcolm says, "Typically, a variety of baby equipment can be safely sterilised in a UV steriliser, including feeding bottles, teats, and soothers (non-latex), tableware, cutlery (non-metallic), breast pumps (not the air tube or electric components), teat tongs, storage lids, storage pots, and nipple shields."

However, although stylish the steriliser is large and therefore in a small kitchen like ours, it took a large amount of kitchen space, particularly as it had to be kept 10cm from the wall. I would compare it to a microwave on your workspace. Additionally it is not transportable for staying at family/holiday. So although the preferred option for the majority of the time, we additionally needed a option for when staying away from home. What changes would you make to this product? Before you use a steriliser, you should wash, rinse, and drain the items you want to put in. Some UV sterilisers, like the Tommee Tippee Ultra UV 3-in-1 Steriliser, Dryer and Storage, have a dryer function. However, you still should not put dripping wet items into the steriliser as water can gather at the base. Tommee Tippee advises, "If there is water at the base or leaking from the steriliser, please turn off the machine and wipe away water." What can you sterilise in a UV steriliser? Microwave steam steriliser: These also use steam to sterilise your baby's bottles/your breast pump, yet unlike electric sterilisers, they do not need to be plugged in and work in the microwave. Once you've added water, the bottles and the cover, you can simply pop these sterilisers in the microwave. When the storage function is selected, it emits five minutes of UV light and five minutes of drying power every two hours to keep the contents sterile.

Hollie: I would compromise on the compact design for a larger unit so that I could use it less often and save more time. I can fit 6 bottles in it but if I could fit 8 or 9 in, I'd only need to sterilise them once a day or less. I was initially concerned that the 60 minute cycle would be too long but it hasn't actually been an issue because I put it on when I go to bed. You can use a clean bottle brush to clean bottles(only use this brush for cleaning bottles). A small teat brush to clean the inside of teats. You can also turn teats inside out and then wash them in hot soapy water. Don't use salt to clean teats, as this can be dangerous for your baby. Maria: For me, the size and the removable shelves are a great feature. As a mum who combi-feeds, I have plenty of bottles and breastmilk expressing equipment which need sterilising often multiple times a day. Whilst the unit can look large on your counter, the good news is that it’s a stylish design and crucially large enough to ensure you can sterilise multiple bottles and expressing equipment at once. From my research, other units appear to be smaller or don’t offer the same level of flexibility offered by the shelves allowing you to maximise the space available. I definitely think this product is a winner, life would be much harder without it. The baby bottle steriliser has an internal Philips UV bulb that lasts up to 6,000 hours. It also sterilises without steam and water so bottles and accessories are cool to touch when the cycle is complete. For added safety, it comes with an auto shut down feature whenever the door is opened.

Change the filter regularly, you can replace using the spare filter sponge provided and reusing filters by rinsing with warm water and allowing to air dry.

Press the on/off button then select the function you wish to use – sterilize only, dry only, auto sterilize and dry or storage function. The beauty of a UV steriliser is that you don't need to worry about descaling or maintenance. However, you should clean it regularly. So, here's how to sterilise baby bottles and feeding equipment. A: We recommend a 10cm gap to allow for ventilation, this protects your work surfaces and the unit.The steriliser, dryer and storage unit can hold up to six 150ml or 260ml bottles at a time, which is perfect for your daily bulk sterilising routine. The adjustable shelves give you the option to customise the space to fit any other breastfeeding or baby accessories. Poonam: Sterilising is a huge part of my day-to-day life as a busy mum of two under 2. Having used different types of sterilisers in the past, from steam to microwave, to cold sterilising, my biggest issue continued to be that the items were always wet! And you cannot dry them because then it would no longer be sterile. This is where the Tommee Tippie UV steriliser and dryer comes into play. Not only does it sterilse but it dries and stores the bottles, dummies, teethers etc and there is no faffing with measuring the correct amount of water. It is as simple as rinse, place, press a button and let the gadget do its job. When it comes to buying the best baby sterilisers, the options really can seem endless — do you go for a steam steriliser, a microwave one or electric one? And even then, which brand should you buy? To make things easier, we've found the best sterilisers on the market to help you make the best decision. Malcolm says, "A UV steriliser uses a special type of light UV-C to sterilise baby feeding equipment in place of other methods of conventional sterilisation, i.e. Hot steam or cold-water sterilisation using chemicals.
