I'm a first-time mom with an 8-month-old and, boy, is it tough. I would do just about anything to cut down the amount of time it takes to do house chores, including investing in a baby bottle washer that does all that cleaning and sterilizing for me. I previously tested the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, and, spoiler alert, I loved it. But I recently got my hands on the Momcozy KleanPal Pro baby bottle washer (was $350, now $330)—and it might be my new favorite. Read on for my full review of the appliance, and how it stands up against the Baby Brezza.

Now, before you turn up your nose at the idea of a bottle washer thinking it's an unnecessary device, hear me out, because it's truly a time saver. Upon first use, I could tell Momcozy did their due diligence learning from some of the design and user flaws of the Baby Brezza version, which I'll get into below.

The Pros

The Momcozy KleanPal Pro bottle washer is designed to wash, sterilize, dry and store your baby bottles, breast pump parts, pacifiers and even silicone plates and silverware. It has a touchscreen panel to start and select your cycle preferences, with two levels for loading: the top for lids, pacifiers and smaller items, and the bottom for bottles, nipples and other items. Essentially, it's meant to take the effort out of hand-washing that delicate baby gear so you can focus on other parent things.

The setup of this marvelous machine was incredibly simple. It came basically fully assembled with the exception of the plug and drain tube, which just needed to be popped into their respective outlets and, boom, ready to wash. It also comes with 60 soap tablets (yes, you must use these and these only) to start you off, and you can buy more on Amazon or the Momcozy site.

In terms of bottle washing specifically (because that's all I use it for, with the occasional added pacifier), it fits four bottles, which may not seem like a lot, but, trust me, is great—it would be a ridiculously huge device if it were made to accommodate more. After I add the bottles into the base of the machine, and the smaller pieces onto the top rack, I just make sure the water tank is full and select my wash cycle. The touchscreen allows you to select whether you want to wash, dry and sterilize, or any combination of those actions. One full wash cycle only takes a mere 29 minutes, too. The wash is then followed by a 10-minute steam to sterilize and then dries for 60 minutes, but bottles can be stored in there for up to 72 hours.

Aside from the fact that I can have a load of bottles washed in less than 30 minutes, my favorite feature of this bottle washer is the drain tube. The tube connects to the dirty water tank and drains automatically into your sink. It even has little silicone suction cups on the tube so you can place it exactly where you want it to sit instead of it just freely moving around.

After each wash, the bottles and other parts come out roughly 98 percent dry, with the exception of a tiny bit of water that collects on the bottom of the bottles since they're flipped upside down in the machine. I'm happy to report that I've yet to have any issues with milk residue left behind, and I even made sure to put in a dirty bottle that had been sitting out for a while. Gotta be thorough, folks.

Cons

I only have a few gripes about this machine that irk me enough to mention to other potential shoppers. For starters, and most obviously, it's expensive. Sure, it's cutting time spent on a manual task, but $330 is not an easy-buy price.

I also take issue with the fact that this bottle washer doesn't include spaces for the extra pieces that come with the Dr. Brown's bottles (IYKYK). Luckily, it's easy to toss them on the top rack, especially since I don't use bottle lids, leaving extra space up there.

My final complaint is that are no wheels on the bottom of the machine, making it more annoying to move around my countertop.

There are a few key differences between these machines that are hard to ignore. The Momcozy KleanPal Pro baby bottle washer is obviously more expensive than the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, which is a dealbreaker for a lot of people, though either way, they're both pricey. The Baby Brezza does take the cake when it comes to time, though, as it takes 88 minutes from wash to dry, while the Momcozy takes 99. I do love that the Baby Brezza washer has wheels on the bottom, making it easy to turn to pull the water tanks out for emptying and filling, or just moving on the counter since they're heavier devices. Speaking of the water tanks, the Momcozy has an attached drain tube to dispose of the dirty water, while the Baby Brezza requires you to manually pull out the tank and dump it. These are the major differences between the two bottle washers that really may sway your decision one way or the other if you're deciding between them.

When it comes down to brass tacks, I'm going for the Momcozy. Aside from not having designated spots for my Dr. Brown's colic bottle parts and the higher price tag, I think it's perfect. The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro has so many wonderful features, and I love that there are specific spots for my additional bottle parts, but the design and details of the Momcozy KleanPal make the process of loading and unloading more efficient overall. And when efficiency equals time, and time equals more chances for mom to get things done, well, I'd say that's pretty priceless. Bring on the bottles!
