Type of steriliser

Like

The most common types of sterilisers are electric steam sterilisers, microwave sterilisers, and cold water sterilisers. Electric steam sterilisers are popular choices due to their ease of use and effectiveness. A quality example is the 'Philips Avent 4 in 1 Electric Steam Steriliser', which can sterilise up to 6 bottles in just 6 minutes. Microwave sterilisers are a great choice for those looking for a more compact and portable option.
