Electric Steam Baby Bottle Steriliser

Electric steam sterilisers work faster than microwave bags and don't tie up your microwave, which matters when you're doing multiple cycles a day. The Steri-Express fits up to 5 standard bottles plus smaller accessories (teats, dummies, breast pump parts) and completes a cycle in around 5 minutes, staying sterile for 24 hours if the lid stays closed.

Against the Philips Avent 3-in-1 in this category, the two are close competitors: both are electric steam sterilisers with similar capacity and cycle times. The main difference is ecosystem fit — the Avent is sized and shaped around Avent's own bottle range and slots neatly into it, while the Tommee Tippee is more size-agnostic and fits a broader range of bottle brands and shapes without needing to rearrange the rack.

If you're using Tommee Tippee or mixed-brand bottles, this is the more natural fit. If you're fully invested in the Avent bottle system already, their own steriliser is designed around it.
