Bottle cleaning is one of those daily jobs that new parents quickly learn to dislike. There are bottles, teats, lids and pump parts to deal with several times a day, and every gadget in the baby aisle promises to make it easier. Two types of machine come up most often: the bottle steriliser and the bottle washer.
They sound similar but do different jobs, and the difference affects both price and routine. This guide explains how they compare and looks at five models from Momcozy, using what was listed on the Momcozy website on 25 October 2026. Momcozy is a US company and its prices are in US dollars, so check shipping, voltage and plug type before buying from the UK.

Steriliser or Washer: What Is the Difference?
A steriliser uses heat, usually steam, to treat items you have already rinsed or washed. Many also dry the items and keep them covered until you need them. A washer takes over the cleaning step as well, spraying the bottles with water and detergent before sterilising and drying them.
In other words, a steriliser replaces the saucepan of boiling water, while a washer also replaces the bottle brush. If you hand-wash happily, a steriliser may be all you need. If scrubbing is what you want to skip, a washer is the more complete answer, at a higher price.
Before choosing, it helps to think about your daily volume. A parent feeding a newborn eight times a day handles far more bottles than one who combines breastfeeding with the occasional bottle. Capacity, cycle length and how long the machine keeps items covered all matter more than the extras. Space is the other factor, as a washer takes up much more worktop than a compact steriliser.
Momcozy Sterilisers and Dryers
Momcozy sells several compact units that sterilise and dry. Here are three from the range.
Momcozy 4 in 1 Compact Sterilizer and Dryer
The 4 in 1 combines sterilising, drying, storing and an automatic mode in one compact unit. Momcozy says it is designed to save time and keep feeding items ready. It was $64.99 on 25 October 2026. The listing carries an important note: it is compatible only with 110V to 120V, which is the US standard. UK mains is 230V, so a unit like this would need a suitable converter or an alternative, and you should confirm before ordering.
8 in 1 Baby Bottle Steam Sterilizer
The 8 in 1 is a steam model that holds 8 baby bottles, according to Momcozy, with an LED display and 24 hours of secure storage after the cycle. The brand also describes it as a multi-function sterilizer and dryer. It was priced at $84.99.

Momcozy Bottle Washers: Cleaning Included
If you want the machine to do the washing, Momcozy offers two main models.
KleanPal Pro
Momcozy describes the KleanPal Pro as a machine that washes, sterilises, dries and stores up to 4 bottles in one automatic cycle. Its listing quotes 22,000Pa water pressure, 26 multi-angle jets and a triple-layer spray system, with a Rapid Wash cycle in as little as 19 minutes. The sterilising step uses steam at 212 degrees F (100 degrees C), followed by dual-layer drying and up to 72 hours of storage. There are 9 mode combinations, and Momcozy says it is made for wide and narrow neck bottles, wearable pump parts, sippy cups, pacifiers and teethers.
The company states that the KleanPal Pro includes 60 official washer tablets and a 1 year warranty, and that over 600,000 families use it. It was $299.99 on 25 October 2026.
DeepClean (D8)
The newer DeepClean Baby Bottle Washer and Sterilizer, called the D8, was $359.99. Momcozy’s product page images describe it as fitting 8 bottles or a full pump kit in one go, and the listing offers cleaning tablet bundles, with free standard shipping stated on the page.

Compare Momcozy Bottle Washers
Prices vary widely because the machines do different amounts of work. The sterilisers cost between about $65 and $100, while the washers are priced at several times as much. Bundles with cleaning tablets are offered on the washer pages, so factor in the ongoing cost of tablets if you choose that route.

How to Choose
- Hand-wash and want a simple finish: a steriliser and dryer is the cost-effective option.
- Pump regularly: look for a model with a pump parts rack or a washer that accepts pump parts.
- Short on time: a washer removes the scrubbing, though it costs several times more.
- Living in the UK: check voltage, plug and delivery details first.
Whatever you choose, follow the bottle maker’s own cleaning instructions, as materials and parts vary. This article is about product features rather than health advice, and if you have questions about cleaning and sterilising for your baby, your midwife or health visitor is the right person to ask.
