Does it actually dry the bottles?

Yes. It has a dedicated dry-only mode and a sterilize-and-dry cycle, so bottles come out dry rather than wet with steam.

How many bottles fit at once?

Up to 8 tall bottles plus accessories, spread across three stackable layers. You can run a partial load on fewer layers.

How does the 72-hour storage mode work?

After a sterilize cycle the sealed chamber keeps contents sterile for up to 72 hours, so you can leave bottles in until you need them.

Do I need distilled water?

Steam sterilizers generally work best with distilled or filtered water to limit mineral buildup. Check the manual for the fill line and descaling routine.

Is it safe for pump parts and pacifiers?

Yes. It is built for bottles, breast pump parts, pacifiers and feeding accessories, using steam rather than chemicals.

How does it compare with a microwave sterilizer?

It is larger and needs a counter outlet, but it adds drying and sterile storage, which microwave bags and racks do not offer.
