" ... This sterilizer does not dry. ... My baby brezza sterilizes AND dries. ... "
" ... It doesn’t dry the items so you’re left with a very wet set of bottles that takes hours to dry in its own even after taking them out of the device and putting them on a drying rack. ...

That is even after you leave the machine open to dry. ... "
