When you’re a twin parent, having the right baby gear can help make your life just a tad easier. So if you’re thinking of getting a bottle washer, hear this double twin mom’s take on which bottle washer is best between Momcozy and Baby Brezza!
I’ll be honest with you—when I had my first set of twins, a bottle washer wasn’t even on my radar. I thought, “How bad can washing bottles really be?” Well, let me tell you—it adds up fast.
Let’s do the math: newborn twins typically feed every 2-3 hours. That’s 8 feedings a day, PER BABY. If you bottle feed, that’s 16 bottles in 24 hours! Add in pacifiers, pump parts, and maybe some teething toys later on, and your sink can feel like it’s drowning in baby gear.
With my first set of twins, we hand-washed everything. Bottles, flanges, valves, nipples, you name it. I’d line them across the counter, boil them, and then let them air dry on racks. In those first few months, I had one baby who was exclusively breastfed and one baby who was bottle-fed. On top of that, I was pumping constantly (hello, oversupply), which meant endless pump parts on top of bottles. Even with only one baby taking bottles, it felt like we were constantly at the sink.
Now that I’m preparing for my second set of twins (yep, twins twice!), I knew I had to find a way to make bottle duty easier this time. I had a singleton friend suggest countertop bottle washers. (And actually, she hated the one she had because it only sterilized and didn’t even wash…)
If you’re new to the idea, think of them like mini dishwashers designed specifically for baby bottles and gear. You load them up, press a button, and they wash, sterilize, and dry everything for you. Sounds dreamy, right?
Why do you need a bottle washer? Why not just use the dishwasher?
I know some people will say, “Why not just toss the bottles in the dishwasher?” Trust me, I had the thought, too. But here’s the thing:
- You usually have to wait until the dishwasher is full before running it. With twins, you don’t have time to wait hours for clean bottles. You need them now.
- You’re often washing bottles alongside food-coated dishes. Gross? Maybe it’s just me, but the thought of my babies’ bottles cycling next to a lasagna pan with baked-on cheese feels… nasty. And is that really safe for immune-compromised babies? I’m not so sure.
- Dishwashers aren’t designed specifically for baby bottles. They don’t always sanitize as thoroughly, and you often end up with water spots or residue.
Bottle washers, on the other hand, are designed exactly for this job. Smaller, faster, more hygienic loads—no casseroles involved.
But as with most baby gear, choosing the right one for you and your family matters. After some research, I discovered the two most popular bottle washers are the Momcozy KleanPal Pro and the Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro.

Momcozy vs. Baby Brezza Bottle Washer: A Twin Mom’s Honest Review
What’s the biggest difference? Placement…
The biggest factor you’ll want to consider is where you can put the machine.
- Momcozy uses a drain hose, which means it must be placed right next to a sink, and you’ll need a plug nearby too. Drain hoses can also drip, which is something to keep in mind for countertop cleanup.
- Baby Brezza has separate clean water and dirty water tanks, which means it doesn’t rely on a sink hookup. It can be placed anywhere you have an outlet—kitchen island, laundry room, or even a bathroom counter. That flexibility is a huge deal if you don’t want to give up sink-side counter space.
This setup difference is probably the #1 deciding factor for most twin families. For me, I preferred the Momcozy because I had the perfect spot in my kitchen and didn’t want to deal with emptying the dirty water tank.
Differences in how they clean and sanitize bottles
Here’s where the two bottle cleaning systems really diverge.
- Momcozy uses rotating spray arms, similar to a mini dishwasher, which basically slosh water around to reach everything. It works well, but coverage can feel more generalized.
- Baby Brezza is built with 20 high-power spray jets that provide targeted cleaning. This means water pressure is focused into the nooks and crannies of bottles and parts for a more precise wash.
If you’ve ever struggled scrubbing old milk out of bottle bottoms, this is the kind of detail that matters. You feel me?
How they each handle small parts & pump accessories
When I realized that I could throw in my pump parts, I was sold! Ideally, I want to exclusively breastfeed my next set of twins, but pumping is a given even if I’m planning to EBF!
- Momcozy uses a small parts basket, like you can really throw it all in! It holds nipples, caps, and accessories, but the water mostly washes over them, meaning some pieces only get surface-level cleaning.
- Baby Brezza, on the other hand, has dedicated placement slots for Dr. Brown’s bottle vent tubes and toppers. This design allows the spray jets to reach inside those tricky pieces, rather than just rinsing the outside.
For twin parents using Dr. Brown’s bottles (and I know many of us do), that deep-cleaning feature is a big plus.
How they compare with drying
This is one area where the Momcozy wins in my book. Bottles and pump parts come out dry and ready to put away.
With the Baby Brezza, drying is less consistent. While most items are fine, water often pools at the bottom of bottles, leaving you with a little towel-drying. When you’re already juggling two babies, any extra step can feel like too much.
Cycle times for each bottle washer
This is one area where the Momcozy wins in my book. I don’t know why I thought it would be much quicker to have a countertop bottle washer. These hour and a half long cycles shocked me. I need FAST! And Momcozy can do it quicker.
- Momcozy: Standard cycle is ~100 minutes, but it has a 19-minute rapid wash option. This is clutch for those “oh no, we’re out of bottles” moments.
- Baby Brezza: Slightly shorter standard cycle (~95 minutes), but no quick wash option.
In my opinion, the quick wash is one of the most valuable features Momcozy offers.
Overall noise and water usage
Both are water-efficient compared to hand-washing. The Momcozy uses ~2.5L per cycle, while the Baby Brezza uses closer to 3L.
Noise-wise, the Momcozy is quieter, more like a low white noise. The Baby Brezza is definitely louder, which may or may not be an issue depending on where you place it.
My twins-twice mom verdict
If I’d had one of these with my first set of twins, I would have saved so much time. After comparing them both, here’s my honest take:
- The Momcozy KleanPal Pro is best if you want quieter operation, better drying, and a rapid wash option. But it only works if you’ve got the counter space next to a sink and an outlet.
- The Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro is best if you want flexibility in placement, targeted cleaning with 20 spray jets, and dedicated slots for Dr. Brown’s parts. For families already loyal to Dr. Brown’s bottles, this could be the deciding factor.
At the end of the day, both are going to save you hours of scrubbing and free you up for more important things like actually enjoying those sweet baby snuggles (instead of fighting through at a mountain of bottles).
From a twins-twice mom to new or expecting twin parents: I didn’t have one of these the first time around, and I wish I had. Now that I do, I can honestly say it makes life so much easier.
So what’s your pick: Momcozy or Baby Brezza?
