We Tested Several Baby Bottle Washers to See if They’re Worth the Splurge

I like to think of the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro as the pioneer of bottle washers. It paved the way for what I think will be a booming baby product in the next few years, and the Brezza specifically is consistently a top seller across retailers, so it felt like a natural to try first.

The Brezza does what it promises. It washes and sterilizes well, and it uses less water than many competitors—great if you’re working with limited filtered or purified water. Like most bottle washers I’ve tried, some pieces may still come out a little wet even after the dry cycle, but that’s pretty standard.

With that said, this bottle washer comes with some trade-offs—the biggest being its size. Not only does it look (and sound) like a rocket ship on the counter, but you also need to take into consideration the clearance needed above the machine so that steam won’t warp your cabinets. For something that takes up that much space, it’s surprisingly particular about how you load it. The racks are fixed and shallow, which works fine for standard bottles, but wide bottles or pump flanges can feel cramped or tip over if you’re not meticulous. And taking the lid off when it’s full can be awkward; it’s easy to knock things over if you’re not careful.

If counter real estate is limited or you need flexibility for various bottle sizes and pump parts, it can be a bit picky, but if you’re looking for a dependable, hands-off solution to bottle cleaning, the Baby Brezza is a solid pick.
