The Best Bottle Washers of 2025, Tested by a Mom of 3

While I loved aspects of all the bottle washers I tested in my research, everything about the Momcozy kept coming out on top. It truly took so much stress out of cleaning baby gear, automatically washing, drying and sterilizing everything from bottles and pump parts to pacifiers. If I had another baby, this is the bottle washer I’d keep—it was by far my favorite in terms of looks, size, noise level and performance.

There’s no complicated setup or manual to wade through with this bottle washer—it really is as simple as loading it up, pushing a button and walking away. The quick wash cycle is a lifesaver, rinsing bottles in just 19 minutes, ideal for when you (or your baby) needs one right now. And if you don’t have time to unload immediately—which I often did not—everything stays dry and sterile inside for up to 72 hours.

Before trying this washer, one Babylist parent told us she spent nearly two hours washing and sterilizing bottles for her preemie every day. Once she switched to the KleanPal Pro, she said it was “like a breath of fresh air” and saved her so much time and stress. “It gave us a little bit of sanity back,” she noted.

The KleanPal also reduces water use. It requires just 2.5 liters of water—less than competing options and significantly less than a dishwasher cycle, which can use between 10-15 liters per cycle on average. (It’s worth noting that while you can use tap water, all the washers I tested—including the KleanPal—recommend distilled water to prolong the machine’s lifespan. This can add to ongoing costs, especially over time.)

What really sold me, though, was the design. The flippable top rack makes it easy to fit bottles and smaller parts without playing Tetris, and the bottom rack can be customized to hold bigger items. I was surprised by how much I could fit—pump parts, bottles, pacifiers, even utensils. Parents I spoke to said the same: “I use it like seven times a day for bottles, pump parts, binkies, teether toys, pretty much everything,” one told us. It’s also really quiet—more like the sound of gentle rain than a noisy appliance.

One thing to note about this particular bottle washer (which isn’t the case with all the options we tested) is drainage; it needs to be near a sink to drain. But the trade-off is that there’s no dirty water tank needed, making the machine more compact. 

My only small gripe is the touch panel placement; since it’s on the front, you do have to bend down to use it. But overall, it’s the best balance of size, performance, and ease of use I’ve found.

The Papablic is nearly identical to the Momcozy KleanPal Pro, so choosing between them mostly comes down to personal preference. While I liked the overall aesthetic, shape and color palette of the Momcozy, which better suited my kitchen, the Papablic still blends in well with a minimal vibe. The simple white and soft blue tones give it a calm, modern look that doesn’t immediately scream “baby,” which I appreciated. Functionally, I liked the Papablic’s user panel more. It’s located at the bottom of the machine and angled upward, making it easy to view and set your cleaning cycle while standing (even if you’re holding a baby in the other arm), as opposed to having to crouch down. 

It’s got plenty of room inside, fitting up to eight bottles or a combination of bottles, pump parts and accessories all in one go, thankÏs to the flippable top rack and adjustable bottom one. An Amazon reviewer says she can “usually wash four bottles and one set of pump parts at a time,” and I’ve found the same to be true. 

“It’s convenient and easy to use,” one Babylist parent said in our annual survey, “giving me time to do other things instead of handwashing.” 

The size difference between the Momcozy and Papablic is minimal, with the Papablic being just slightly wider (about an inch) and deeper (one and a half inches) than the Momcozy, but it’s an important consideration if you’re already tight on counter space. Like the Momcozy, it uses the least water of all the bottle washers I tested and has a 19-minute rapid wash, but the Papablic’s full cycle runs about fifteen minutes shorter. It’s a small edge, but one you might appreciate when bottles or pump parts are starting to pile up. One other thing to note: like the Momcozy, it also needs to be set up near a sink for drainage, which limits where you can keep it in your kitchen.

Additional Specs

• Size: 16.06” x 14.88” x 10.83”

• Bottle capacity: Up to 8 + accessories

• Cycle duration: 19-min rapid wash; full normal cycle (wash, dry, sterilize) is 84 min

• Water usage: 2.5L

The Grownsy Bottle Washer is easy to use and operate straight out of the box without ever cracking open the manual. I love that the detailed Quick User Guide is printed on the side—it makes setup easy for the first use and keeps me from digging through a manual or scanning a QR code every time I run a cycle. (Both Momcozy and Papablic place theirs on the front, but I actually like the side placement better since it looks cleaner on the counter.) Unlike the other two models, the Grownsy Quick Guide is much more thorough and includes helpful pictures, which is perfect for visual learners like me, plus step-by-step instructions for using the bottle washer and a clear breakdown of all the cleaning modes.

Visually, the Grownsy looks almost identical to the Momcozy and delivers the same impressive cleaning and drying performance, completing a full wash, dry and sterilize cycle in 99 minutes, with a 19-minute quick wash option. The interior racks work just like the Momcozy’s and Papablic’s—the top rack flips to accommodate bottles of different sizes and the bottom adjusts. While they’re white instead of gray, they’re just as spacious, fitting six to eight bottles with accessories or four bottles and a set of pump parts. Grownsy also uses just 2.5 liters of water, which is considerably less than the Brezza, though it drains directly into a sink like the Momcozy and Papablic, so counter placement can be somewhat restricted.

While the Momcozy is still my favorite style-wise, the Grownsy’s clean white aesthetic is neutral and versatile, so it looks good in my kitchen without drawing too much attention. Beyond looks, I actually prefer Grownsy’s user panel. Its front-mounted touch panel sticks out further than the Momcozy’s (which is more flush with the washer), making it easier to see and press the buttons without bending over when it’s on my kitchen counter. The buttons are also the most clearly labeled of any bottle washers I tested with Fast, Standard, Sterilization and Drying & Storage options, to make it nearly impossible to mess up. I also like that it shows the total cycle time—99 minutes—rather than breaking it into separate wash, sterilize and dry stages like the Momcozy. The protruding touch panel does add a bit of extra depth, so if counter space is tight, you’ll want to measure before committing.

Additional Specs

• Size: 9.82” x 13.75” x 16.09”

• Bottle capacity: 6 bottles + accessories (many users report fitting as many as 8)

• Cycle duration: 19-min rapid wash; full standard cycle (wash, dry, sterilize) is 99 min

• Water usage: 2.5L

• Detergent tablets: 60 included, $18.99 for 130 additional tablets

The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro is big but mighty. It automatically washes, sterilizes and dries bottles, pump parts, sippy cups and accessories using 20 high-pressure spray jets, natural steam and HEPA-filtered hot air so you don’t have to stress about germs. “It cleans bottles so well and saves so much time,” raves one Babylist parent.

What truly sets the Brezza Pro apart, though, is that it doesn’t require a sink hook-up or drain hose, giving families the flexibility to place it wherever works best for their home. This is ideal for anyone looking to put it in a nursery or another room for easy access and convenience—or those who just don’t want one more (big) baby gadget taking over their kitchen. 

Another standout feature is the built-in wheels. During testing, I was able to easily rotate the washer to access the water tanks, roll it to the sink for filling and effortlessly pivot and move it around as needed (as opposed to carrying or lifting it, which can be a pain). Both the clean and dirty water tanks are easily removed, adding to the overall convenience. I also really liked the placement of the user panel, which allowed me to quickly set a cycle while standing, instead of having to awkwardly bend down to see the buttons—a small but nice touch that I can imagine would be really helpful when you’re juggling a fussy baby. 

While this bottle washer performed well overall, there were a few aspects that didn’t quite work for me. It’s a bit bulkier than some competitors, with a deeper footprint, so the size might be a concern if you're short on counter space. I also found it noisier than other bottle washers I tested and noticed that some bottles were harder to keep balanced during loading—narrower options like Dr. Brown’s fit better than wider ones like Spectra. Additionally, it uses a relatively large amount of water, which could add up in cost over time if you’re using distilled. On the plus side, it consistently left bottles squeaky clean and soap-free, thanks to its three rinse cycles (one more than many models), which explains the higher water use.

Additional Specs

• Bottle capacity: 4 bottles + accessories

• Cycle duration: 19-min wash cycle, sterilizes in 10 min and dries in 1 hour
