  "question": "Which bottle sterilizer should I buy overall?",
  "answer": "Dr. Brown's AC177: Reports an overall rating of 4.6 out of 5 stars from more than 21,000 reviews. The unit fits more than the claimed six bottles: nine were loaded with a tight squeeze and there was room to squeeze in a tenth. Lists four modes - sterilize only, dry only, sterilize and dry, or storage - which is more than the maker's three named functions plus closed-lid storage. Other users' comments are echoed that the unit does not clean bottles, so bottles still have to be scrubbed beforehand, which can feel tedious.\nDr. Brown's All-In-One Sterilizer & Dryer: It is reported to save time multiple times a day by combining sterilizing and drying in one unit. Maker states the unit steam sterilizes and dries up to eight Narrow, six Wide-Neck, or four Silicone baby bottles at once, plus bottle parts, breast pump parts, pacifiers, and teethers. The unit can sterilize only, dry only, or combo sterilize and dry. Average rating on the reproduced listing is 4.3 out of 5 from 419 ratings, with 75% five-star, 8% four-star, 3% three-star, 5% two-star, and 9% one-star.\nDr. Brown's AC045: It sterilizes up to six baby bottles at once, plus parts, pacifiers and more. Features include auto shut off, an included measuring cup, a removable tray, a built-in accessory tray, and included tongs.",
