Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer Review: A Lifesaver for Parents Who Want To Do Less

I bet most parents can feel this moment of bliss in their bones: dinner is eaten, the bathtub is drained, teeth are brushed, the sleep sack is zipped and the white noise is white noise-ing. Those little eyes that you love so much finally drift closed.

That moment is the moment. You have the rest of the night to eat your own snacks, watch your favourite TV shows, scroll without interruption, take a bath, read a book or do whatever you like to do to relax. You did it! Another day of parenting!

That precious moment quickly dissolves for me as I enter the kitchen and see a sink full of bottles, pump parts, and whatever else needs to be washed and sterilized. Unlike dishes or countertops, this can’t be pushed to the next day when I might have more energy. It takes all I can muster to tackle cleaning all these small parts.

So when I read about the Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer, a baby bottle washing machine that takes care of the cleaning, sterilizing and drying, I thought to myself, Is this the product that will finally save me from the incessant cycle of handwashing and sterilizing? Is this a product that will finally help me do less?

The answer: you betcha.

What is the Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer?

The KleanPal Pro is a powerful baby bottle washer that tackles it all—washing, sterilizing and drying bottles, pump parts, teethers and more. This baby bottle washer has nine cleansing modes, including a 19-minute quick wash option, that get rid of all traces of milk, residue and dirt. No hand-washing required.

The Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer features two shelves: one that holds four bottles or a set of pump parts from most major brands, and one that holds bottle caps, pacifiers and other smaller items. Twenty-six high-powered jets, combined with steam sterilization and a medical-grade H13 HEPA filter, kill 99.9 percent of germs and create a sterile storage environment for 72 hours.

Our review of the Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer

As a fresh-off maternity leave mom of a one-year-old, I have less time to stay on top of the housework (which seems to have tripled since I gave birth). The night I was set to try the KleanPal Pro for the first time, I put my daughter to bed and then my stomach just sank. I hadn’t even set up the bottle washer yet and I was already exhausted. Now I’m supposed to set up new baby gear? Not happening. Or so I thought. Setting up the KleanPal Pro couldn’t have been simpler.

All I had to do was pull the machine out, and plug in the power cord and drain pipe. That was it.

Next was loading it up. The lower shelf holds up to four bottles and four nipples, each with its own designated spot, foregoing the game of bottle Tetris I’ve had to play with previous sterilizers. The top shelf holds bottle caps, pacifiers and other small parts. I was about to reach for the instruction manual when I realized I didn’t have to.

The operating instructions are printed right on the front of the machine—a feature I would guess was thought of by someone who has been through sleep deprivation and wanted to do tired parents a favour. I opted for the full normal wash, sterilize, dry and storage combination, which runs for an hour and a half.

After tossing the tiny detergent tab into the bottom shelf and filling up the water tank, the bottle washer was ready to go—and, the next morning, my bottles and pacifiers were shiny and dry. The storage mode lasts 72 hours once the wash is complete, so I needn’t worry about emptying it the next morning when I start our day. I had more time to myself in the evening, and the morning too.

The full wash cycle worked best for the end of the evening; a shorter runtime may be more desirable for a morning or lunchtime run. I like how there are nine cleaning modes that need varying lengths of time, so no matter how much time I have, I can adjust the KleanPal Pro to my schedule.

The night after I first tried this time-saving baby bottle washer, I skipped out of my daughter’s room after putting her down for the night. This compact yet powerful machine is a saving grace for a new mom. Getting to the couch sooner means more to me than just extra scrolling time. The KleanPal Pro gives me time to rest so I can be my best self in the morning for my little one.

Pros:

• Easy-to-use bottle washer featuring nine cleaning modes, so bottle washing can easily fit into any schedule
• Kills 99.9 percent of germs
• No need to hand-wash items before use
• Quick and simple setup and quiet cleaning cycles
• Drastically reduces time spent washing bottles—ideal of new moms or parents of newborns
• Instructions are printed on the front of the machine
• The washer uses 2.5 litres of water, saving 86.7 percent of the water used in hand-washing and 94.7 percent of the water used by a dishwasher
• The drain pipe goes right into the sink to automatically drain the used water to prevent odours
• The washer washes more than just bottles, including breast pump parts, teethers, baby utensils, baby toys, sippy cups and pacifiers

Cons:

• Distilled water is recommended, which is an additional cost, and the machine uses 2.5 litres per wash. Tap water can also be used, but it can lead to the buildup of minerals and water spots.
• The best placement is by the kitchen sink to accommodate the drain pipe. This could become a space issue. If placement by the sink is not an option, the drain pipe can be placed in a big container.

Final Verdict

After several days of use, I can say confidently that I wish I had had the Momcozy KleanPal Pro Baby Bottle Washer when my daughter was a newborn. I could have saved all that time spent endlessly handwashing bottles and breast pump parts—all while desperately trying to get through the sleep deprivation that comes with new parenthood. I also use the KleanPal Pro for pacifiers, sippy cups, silicone straws and teethers. This bottle washer is definitely a newborn (and a new mom) must-have.

Bottom line: This thing is dead easy, made for the sleep-deprived, and useful for years.
