Limited UsefullnessJOND
If you use Dr. Brown bottles...then you understand how many parts there are so washing them in the dishwasher is a huge benefit. We had been using the Munchkin dishwasher basket, and I thought it would be really nice to have something that was built and customized specifically for the Dr. Brown's parts. This basket accomplishes that, but it is a very large basket and completely non-versatile. It takes up nearly 1/4 of my top dishwasher rack for only 3 bottles. Much of this is because it holds the actual bottles as well.This is totally unnecessary, and as a result, there's no way for it to hold additional parts. In other words, the fact that it is customized to hold all the parts for three bottles is an advantage, but the fact that it will hold nothing else...is so limiting that it's a HUGE disadvantage. In the Munchkin, I can fit all the nipples and parts for 8+ bottles, and I just keep the bottles themselves in the top rack of the dishwasher -- they don't need to be in a basket. However, with this Dr. Brown basket...if I have dirty parts for 4 bottles, I'm out of luck! What good is washing only 3 bottles! We use 5-6 bottles each day!! Why don't I just use two baskets, you ask? Good idea, but good luck getting anything else into the top rack of the dishwasher with two of these giant baskets taking all the space.
Munchkin is better and holds more bottlesRed Rocks
This basket may be okay for some people but not for me. The basket has a designated space for each part of the Dr Browns bottles including the cap. I rarely use the caps and dislike how the basket has reserved room for something I am rarely going to put in there. I also own the munchkin basket (I used to use the Avent bottles and placed these in the munchkin basket. They were a tight fit but you could still make it work)and decided to try this out with the Dr Browns bottles and it holds 10 nipples in the top section, 8 vents on the sides (in the straw holders) and all of the other parts in the lower section. The Dr Browns fit perfectly with the munchkin basket and I was happy to see that the vents worked with the straw holders. I am going to send this basket back and stick with my munchkin basket!
Works well if all other dishes are cleanBSN student
Overall I am very happy with this dishwasher basket- there is a place for each of the Dr. Brown's parts. Before buying this product I had been handwashing and steam sterilizing the bottles, but I thought this would cut down on the work involved. However, the third time I used the basket the nipples and vents turned orange. I called Dr. Brown's customer service, and they advised that this would happen if any tomato-based products were left on any other dishes in the dishwasher. So, in order to avoid this I would have to prewash or carefully rinse all of my dishes. This is just was much work as handwashing the bottles, so in the end I do not think that the basket will save much time.As an aside, the customer service representative at Dr. Brown's was very helpful, and did send me a few new nipples and vents to replace those that were discolored.
Works well, need twoP. Velasco
We love our Dr. Browns bottles (and finally found the polypro ones for sale). With Dr. Browns our babies have had little to no burping, and never an ear infection or gas problems. While that's probably some luck on our parts, we think the zero air/low pressure design of Dr. Browns plays a role as well.On the other had, each bottle **does** have 6 parts. This dishwasher rack makes cleaning all those parts a lot easier. However, it only holds 3 sets, so if you're like us and go through more bottles in a day, you might want two wash racks.
Makes Bottle Washing EasyDali Mama
I love how all the Dr. Brown bottle components (with the exception of the bottles and discs) fit just right in the basket. If the basket is not full, you can include pacifiers and anything else you don't want getting lost in the dishwasher. Fits upright on the top rack of the my dishwasher and withstands the dishwasher heat without any issues. Only gave it 4 stars as it only has room enough for 3 bottles-worth of parts (we own about 12) and does not fit the bottles themselves.
Works good but wish it held more than 3KatieKateP
This works well but I had to get 2 of them. The only hold the parts to 3 bottles and then you put the actual bottles in he top rack, separately. For those people saying it takes up too much room.. you don't lay it flat, you stand it up a little. I can put 2 of these in my top rack and still put 6 bottles and several glasses too.
Absolutely Required if You Use Dr. BrownC. Telford
These work great. This may be obvious, but you have to put this on the top rack sideways. This way the dishwasher jets get into the items and it also takes up a lot less space. There really is no better way to wash the Dr. Brown item.
Easiest way to clean these bottles!Bonnie Saunders
I absolutely love these dish washer baskets for these bottles! I just started using Dr. Brown's bottles. My husband bought one at the super market in town to try with our newborn. The bottle worked great but was sort of a pain to clean. There are several pieces to each bottle. I used the Munchkin Dish Washer Basket that I had for my other bottles but it really did not hold the bottle pieces like they need to be held to really get clean.These Dr. Brown's Dish Washer Baskets are awesome for these bottles!! LOL...they keep all of the pieces together. I bought 2 of them and they fit on one side of my dish washer and the bottles stand next to the baskets. 2 baskets clean 6 bottles....but I may need 2 more because I find myself washing a tiny load of dishes just to get clean bottles.I included a picture because I have seen some of the reviews complaining about the baskets taking up too much room. They are made to stand up on end so the water gets sprayed up through all of the pieces and they get very clean! They say "This Side Up" on the top so you place them in the dishwasher correctly.It's a no brainer to me....THESE ARE AWESOME!!
