How does a bottle sterilizer work?
Most bottle and pacifier sterilizers are electric and use steam. A device heats water contained in a tank in order to create steam, the heat of which makes it possible to sterilize baby bottles for a determined period of time. The choice of an electric baby bottle sterilizer essentially depends on:
- Capacity, i.e. the number of bottles and accessories that can be placed inside the device;
- Additional functions, some models also acting as bottle warmers and bottle dryers at the same time;
- Modularity: there are models with a compact part for small bottles, as well as a part specially designed to be placed directly in the microwave oven; only small bottles can therefore be placed in this type of steriliser;
- Compatibility with accessories: bottles, teats, breast pumps, etc. ;
- Sterilization time;
- Comfort options such as the illuminated display screen allowing in particular to control the temperature when heating bottles.
As this is equipment intended to preserve baby’s health, a sterilizer is made of high quality materials. The brands offering this type of device are renowned for the high level of manufacture of their products and we only offer you the best.
