The three wash programmes take 29 minutes (Quick), 39 minutes (Standard) and 49 minutes (Intensive). The steam and UV-C sterilisation programme takes 10 minutes and the PTC hot-air drying programme 60 minutes.

No. Water is poured directly into the 4-litre tank through the covered inlet on the top of the unit. There is no inlet hose and no plumbing work required, so it can be placed on any worktop near a socket.

The chamber takes teats, breast pump parts, teethers, weaning bowls, sippy cups, small plastic toys and everyday cups and glassware. Check that each item is marked as dishwasher safe and heat resistant before loading it.

Yes. The touch panel lets you select a wash programme along with the drying and sterilising functions so the load is cleaned, treated and dried in a single unattended run.

Operating noise is rated at 45 decibels, roughly the level of a quiet room. Combined with the 12-hour delay timer, this makes overnight cycles practical in open-plan kitchens.

After a cycle finishes, the ventilation function keeps air circulating through the sealed chamber for up to 72 hours. Bottles stay dry inside the machine instead of collecting moisture on an open rack, and you simply take one out when you need it.
