The full review
The Steriliser Dryer Advanced has been the mainstay of Baby Brezza's UK steriliser range for some time, and it's still a very capable machine. It steams, then dries with air passed through a replaceable HEPA filter, and Baby Brezza says drying takes 30 minutes.
Capacity is its big selling point: eight bottles and two full pump part sets, in a modular set-up with two bins and an accessory tray. Items stay sterilised for up to 48 hours if you leave it closed, which beats the 24 hours most rivals quote.
Baby Brezza notes that hard water means descaling more often, and the stainless steel heating plate won't rust. It's a big seller at John Lewis, where it averages 4 out of 5 across more than 300 reviews at the time of writing, a little below the Tommee Tippee and Philips models here.
With the faster SuperQuick now in the range for around £30 more, the Advanced makes most sense when you can find it discounted.
