Rank #7 in Best Bottle Sterilisers 2026: 10 Ranked, and the Numbers That Don't Add Up
Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Steriliser, Dryer and Storage
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Tommee Tippee Ultra UV Steriliser, Dryer and Storage is the UV option in this guide, at number seven. There is no steam and no chemicals here: the listing says UV light does the killing, and that the same cycle dries what it sterilises. Tommee Tippee lists it at £126.39, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 717 ratings, measuring 41.7 x 37.5 x 37.4 cm and weighing 6.3 kg.
Its numbers are the ones worth reading carefully. The listing says it sterilises and dries six bottles in 35 minutes, while one reviewer reports fitting four Mam bottles in at a time — a smaller count, on wider bottles. The 99.9% of harmful bacteria it claims is the same figure Philips Avent, Grownsy and Dr Brown's quote in this guide, and the same one Tommee Tippee's own £39.99 steam steriliser quotes; only Milton under-claims, at 99%. One reviewer also points out the NHS does not recommend UV sterilisation, while noting that large brands sell them anyway. The spec table here does at least match the product it describes — material composition is listed as Plastic. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing as it appears, not from testing we carried out.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“The trays inside are so close together in can be tricky pulling teats from the steriliser without pulling the trays out too.HOWEVER, this is a very minor setback given the phenomenal amount of time and effort saved compared to all other sterilisation methods.This thing takes care of itself.All I can advise is don't use it for drying bottles. Rinse your bottles in the sink or put them in the washer (however you normally wash them) then leave them to dry. Once dry, put them in the steriliser and click the steriliser button twice to set 35 mins steriliser.I did this for all of mine and I have 2 very happy babies :)”
Verified purchase“Having researched loads of steralizers before purchasing (it's a mindfield) I went for this one.I went for UV (You can use plastic bottles in it too by the way) because I didn't want constant steam in the kitchen. It was between this one and the Philips advent. We are really pleased with this and you can steralize up to 4 mam bottles at a time for reference which is great on the go. Cons are that it does take up space on the counter but that's what you would expect for a larger steriliser. It's super easy especially when you're having to go downstairs in the night. I also think it looks sleek”
