I have the Papablic sterilizer and I FREAKING LOVE IT. I use it daily for the past year and it's going strong. A lot of people say soap and water or a pot on the stove, which works but I love to turn a knob and leave it- but mostly… I use it so all my pump parts are dry! It's nice washing them before bed and tossing them in the sterilizer for easy and dry assembly in the morning
Uses daily for a full year, still going strong. Loves the convenience of turning a knob and walking away. Key use case: overnight drying of pump parts.
100%!! I planned to breastfeed. I did — but I didn't know how intense and challenging breastfeeding is. Even with baby on my boob nearly 17 hours of the day, I still ended up using supplemental formula. Then eventually switching to full formula at 6 months because it was physically destroying me. Papablic Pro on Amazon. Got it at a discount and has been one of the most used items since day 1. We still use it after 10 months and it is great at fast drying items.
One of most used items since day 1, still going strong at 10 months. Praises fast drying specifically. Got at discount.
We have the Pepablic sterilizer/dryer from Amazon— currently $55 and you can add it to your registry for another 15% off. It's fantastic— no bells or whistles, but it sterilizes and DRYS in ~40 min. The drying feature is what makes it amazing— I can go from dirty pump parts to clean and dry ones in 45 min.
Cites specific price ($55), cycle time (~40 min), and total workflow time (45 min from dirty to clean/dry). Values simplicity and drying.
I would get one. The sanitize cycle in dishwashers can take *forever* - hours. Our papabilic sterilizer (Amazon) takes like 15 minutes. It will dry the bottles/nipples/pump parts for you. It really has made life a ton easier for us with 5 mo old twins. I very much don't like over buying either. This was a definite win and worth it.
Compares 15-min cycle time vs hours in dishwasher. Uses with 5-month twins. Made life easier despite not liking to over-buy.
We used it for a year. Papablic on Amazon is plenty big for double the bottles. It dries too and it's fast
Full year of use with twins (double bottles), praises size, drying capability, and speed.
We have a Brezza and also a Papablic sterilizer, and use the Papablic one daily. Holds 6 Avent bottles (8 if you squeeze them in) and all the lids/nipples with room for pacifiers etc in the basket part.
Owns both Brezza and Papablic, uses Papablic daily. Specific capacity details: 6-8 Avent bottles plus lids, nipples, and pacifiers.
We have the papablic sterilizer and love it! It dreams and dries everything, and it's pretty big so we can sterilize my pumping stuff, a couple bottles, his pacifiers and some small toys all at once. I know calcium buildup is a pain but if we use non-purified water we just wipe up the little calcium deposits after the steaming is done. Also you white vinegar dissolves calcium so we do a cleaning with that every now and again.
Loves it, cites large capacity (pump stuff + bottles + pacifiers + toys at once). Acknowledges calcium buildup but provides easy solution (vinegar).
I'm happy with our Papablic - doesn't take up too much space, easy to use, does a great job especially with drying. I put pump parts in it no problem. A few things to know for any steam sterilizer though: * Use distilled water to minimize descaling needs. However, distilled water isn't foolproof; if you put wet bottles in, the non distilled water from the bottles may eventually cause some dirt in the heating plate that will need to be cleaned off * This will sound obvious but make sure you loa
Happy with it — compact, easy to use, great drying, handles pump parts. Provides practical maintenance tips about descaling.
I used the papibolic (sp?) and it worked well for having tons of bottle parts, there's two chambers so you can fit the bottle itself on the lower area and everything else on the top chamber
Cites specific two-chamber design advantage — bottles on bottom, parts on top. Worked well for handling many parts.
I was going to buy a Brezza because it dries as well, but I got an Amazon deal on Papablic which does the same for cheaper.
Chose Papablic as cheaper alternative to Brezza with equivalent drying functionality. Budget-conscious positive choice.
