Pros

Cons

The Bebello Washer is a 4-in-1 bottle washer, steriliser, dryer and storage unit designed to take some of the daily admin out of bottle-feeding, combi-feeding or pumping. It uses automatic cleaning jets, steam sterilisation, hot air drying and a HEPA-filtered storage mode to wash, sterilise, dry and store bottles, breast pump parts and small baby items.

With space for up to 8 bottles and accessories across 2 layers, plus touchscreen controls and customisable programmes, it’s aimed at parents who want a more hands-free alternative to handwashing, boiling, microwave sterilising or air drying on the kitchen counter.

At £349, it sits at the premium end of the bottle washer and steriliser market, and is slightly more expensive than the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro, £335.

We tested the Bebello Washer daily with bottles, Momcozy M5 wireless breast pump parts and the occasional teething toy to see whether it could genuinely save time and effort in a real combi-feeding routine.

About our parent tester

Laura tested the Bebello Washer with her 11-week-old baby, using it daily to clean bottles, Momcozy M5 wireless breast pump parts and the occasional teething toy. As a first-time parent, she was looking for a product that could save time, effort and guesswork while making her combi-feeding routine more manageable. Laura is a consumer journalist and former culture reviewer.

How easy is the Bebello Washer to set up?

Setup was a pleasant surprise: I removed it from the box, plugged it in, attached the drain tube and placed the other end in the sink. If you don’t want it draining into the sink, you can use a container instead, although this isn’t included and needs to hold more than 2.5L.

There’s no need to pre-clean the Bebello before first use either. As a first-time mum inundated with new baby-related chores, I appreciated being able to use it right away.

The slim instruction manual is visual and easy to follow, with diagrams, tables and numbered steps.

I did have a few questions that weren’t answered in the manual, but Bebello’s customer service team replied thoroughly the following morning. The website also includes video tutorials for loading different popular bottle and pump brands.

How easy is the Bebello Washer to load?

Loading the Bebello is easy, and I often did it one-handed while holding my baby. There are 2 layers: the lower tray holds larger items such as bottles and bulkier pump parts, while the upper tray is useful for smaller pieces, including breast pump components.

The lower tray has the cleaning jets, so items need to be placed dirty-side down to benefit from the upward spray. You can remove the bottle and teat holders to increase the bottle capacity from 4 to 8, and the upper tray can be flipped or removed depending on what you’re washing.

For my needs – 1 or 2 bottles, Momcozy M5 pump parts and the occasional teething toy – there was plenty of space. A picture sheet in the box shows suggested layouts for different bottle and pump brands, but I soon found the loading process intuitive.

The Bebello’s elegant design means you can place the lid on top easily, without worrying about clipping it into place. However, I was puzzled on one occasion when the cycle wouldn’t start, and it took me a moment to realise it was because the lid wasn’t sitting quite right. Once I adjusted it, the cycle began. The display screen indicates when there’s no water in the tank; it would be useful if it also indicated when the lid isn’t on properly.

How well does the Bebello Washer clean bottles and pump parts?

The standard Clean cycle did a good job overall, but it wasn’t quite as thorough as handwashing on older, dried-on milk residue. Most washes came out very clean, but I did notice a faint milk mark on one bottle I’d left out for a while. A quick rinse under the tap removed it.

For a more intensive wash, there’s a Deep Clean programme. I tested both cycles by leaving milk in a bottle for 24 hours, then placing it above one of the jets. There was still a faint milk mark after the standard Clean cycle, but none after Deep Clean.

Clean takes 19 minutes, while Deep Clean takes 29 minutes. I could handwash a couple of bottles and pump parts faster, but the benefit is being able to leave everything to wash, sterilise, dry and store at the push of a button. If I was in a rush for a bottle, I would handwash it and pop it in the Bebello to sterilise.

I live in a hard-water area, and one major benefit was that the Bebello didn’t leave the cloudy residue I’d experienced with my previous methods. This is thanks to the specially formulated detergent tablets that come with the machine. So long as you descale your device every 2-4 weeks, it should continue to clean without leaving hard-water streaks.

Although the device comes with official Bebello Detergent Tablets, the instruction manual mentions other things you can use. For example, if you run out of tablets, you can use one teaspoon of liquid dishwasher detergent. I appreciated this intel.

I did notice occasional water spots, but these were similar to what I see when air drying and didn’t bother me.

How effective is the Bebello Washer’s sterilising function?

The Bebello Washer uses steam sterilisation, which the brand says eliminates 99.9% of bacteria. I liked that it was chemical-free, with no lingering smell, and it took the guesswork out of sterilising bottles and pump parts.

Sterilise mode takes 10 minutes. You don’t have to run a full wash, sterilise and dry cycle every time either; you could handwash a bottle, pop it in the Bebello to sterilise, then shake it dry if you need it quickly.

How well does the Bebello Washer dry bottles?

Drying is where the Bebello performs least well. Items were rarely 100% dry at the end of a cycle, and water often pooled in crevices. I always had to give everything a quick shake after removing them from the device if I want to remove them right away.

Tipping the angle of items when loading them helps maximise their drying, as water can’t pool on them so easily, but this still isn’t a perfect solution.

There are 2 drying options: Quick Dry, which uses heat and takes 45 minutes, and Eco Dry, which is unheated and takes 120 minutes. Quick Dry was more effective, but still didn’t get everything 100% dry. I tended to use Eco Dry overnight, when speed mattered less.

How useful is the Bebello Washer’s sterile storage mode?

One of the Bebello’s most useful features is its sterile storage mode, which keeps items in a closed environment for up to 72 hours, thanks to its HEPA filter. The screen displays a countdown once the cycle has finished, which gave me peace of mind and feels much more hygienic than simply storing items in a big Tupperware container in a cupboard, or laid out on the counter-top.

I initially assumed that opening the machine would end the sterile storage period, but Bebello’s customer service told me that, as long as I washed my hands first and didn’t touch the items left inside, they would remain sterile.

The caveat is that items aren’t always completely dry after the drying cycle. If dry storage matters to you, you may prefer to remove them, shake off any remaining water and let them air dry.

How loud and fast is the Bebello Washer?

My usual cycle was 1 hour 14 minutes, using Clean, Sterilise and Quick Dry. Overnight, I used Eco Dry instead, bringing the total to 2 hours 29 minutes.

The Bebello emits a low hum while running, with some sloshing sounds during Clean mode. It wasn’t loud enough to disturb my sleeping baby, and in my flat, it couldn’t be heard from the nursery at night.

How much space does the Bebello Washer take up?

With a footprint of 26cm x 33cm, the Bebello fits neatly on my kitchen counter next to the draining board, with enough clearance for the drain tube to reach the sink.

Counter space is precious, but the Bebello replaced my microwave steriliser and drying area, so it worked as a space saver for me. If you have a particularly small kitchen, you’ll need to check whether you can make room for it.

Aesthetically, it looks sleek and modern, and I found it oddly calming to watch the wash cycle through the transparent lid.

How easy is the Bebello Washer to clean and maintain?

The Bebello is straightforward to maintain. The manual explains how to descale it using either Bebello Descaler Tablets or white vinegar, which I appreciated.

I used white vinegar, as I already had some at home. I mixed 200ml of white vinegar with 200ml of water, tipped it into the main cavity, left it for 8 hours, then filled the water tank and ran a Clean cycle to flush it through.

There’s no need to disassemble and wipe down the internal parts of the machine. Bebello advises descaling every month in soft-water areas, or every 2 weeks in hard-water areas.

Is the Bebello Washer worth the money?

There’s no doubt that the Bebello Washer is an elegant and effective all-in-one solution for bottles, breast pump parts and more. It saved me time, hassle, not to mention water and energy. I won’t be sterilising with boiling water on the hob anymore, and I’ve already listed my microwave steriliser on Vinted.

However, with an RRP of £349, it is a luxury rather than an essential, and it will be out of budget for many families. It can also be rented from £28 a month, depending on the length of commitment, although the cost can add up quickly.

MadeForMums verdict:

The Bebello 4-in1 Washer is an impressive piece of kit, bringing the game-changing gift of convenience and hygiene reassurance to parents.

I’d recommend it to time-poor parents who are bottle-feeding, combi-feeding or pumping. It’s also useful for first-time mums and dads who already have so much to learn and buy without worrying about the myriad sterilising options on top.

Its biggest strengths are the easy setup, intuitive loading, good cleaning performance, steam sterilising and 72-hour sterile storage mode. The main drawback is drying: items were rarely completely dry at the end of a cycle, so I often still had to shake them off or let them air dry.

I’d caution that it’s a luxury rather than an essential – handwashing alongside alternative sterilisation options can be much, much cheaper and get the job done just fine. If you’ve got the cash to spare, though, go for it.
