| Price |
£25.00
|
| Features |
Eight-bottle steriliser with a 12-14 minute cycle. Two-tiered unit.
Includes water measuring jug.
|
| Babyworld verdict |
A well-made, high capacity steriliser which can take up to eight bottles
and has plenty of room for bowls, plates or breast pumps. Fairly priced and simple to use
but not the fastest and with few special features. Good if you need high capacity .

| Features |
Six-bottle steriliser with an eight-minute cycle. Includes two wide-necked
bottles, tongs and dishwasher-safe rack.
|
| Babyworld verdict |
This is the most expensive steriliser we tested but it has a neat design,
some useful features and the fastest cycle. Good deep transparent lid so you can see what
you are sterilising and a dishwasher-proof rack which helps with the pre-wash before
sterilising. Included bottles cost £6 if bought separately but if you don’t want
these it would be hard to justify the cost.

| Six Bottle Electric
Steam Steriliser |
| Manufacturer |
Mothercare |
| Price |
£35
|
| Features |
Six-bottle steriliser with a nine-minute cycle. Includes two standard
bottles and tongs.
|
| Babyworld verdict |
A compact unit – the smallest we tested but can still take six
standard bottles. Functional and quite quick, with a useful lockable, transparent lid and
simple racking system. Quite pricey although two standard bottles are included. Probably
not the one for you if you plan to use wide-necked bottles – as it can only sterilise
four at a time.

Six-bottle steriliser with a ten-minute cycle. Two-tiered unit which
dismantles, lower tier moulded to help secure bottles. Includes water measuring jug.

| Babyworld verdict |
This is the cheapest electric steriliser we tested but it is of good
quality, easy to use and versatile enough to take larger items such as plates, bowls and
breast pumps. Functional, no frills but fuss-free system with no tricky racks. Dismantles
for easy cleaning and emptying.
