A few people have asked about the Chicco 3 in 1 - link is: https://www.chiccousa.com/shop-our-products/feeding-and-soothing/sterilizers/3-in-1-steam-sterilizer/00007391100070.html. The only drawback is that it does not have a drying cycle, so I try to sanitize, shake excess water off, and air dry overnight.
Also, apparently the newer version of the Chicco 3 in 1 sanitizes in 5 minutes, not in the 9-12 minutes that the older version (which I have) does. Someone asked if this was an adequate amount of time. Here are some recommendations for CF patients who have the highest standards for sanitizing their nebulizing and air clearance products. I believe they must sanitize after each equipment use. The recommendations I saw are for 5 minutes for heat/steam cleaning. I make the assumption that if 5 minutes is adequate for CF patients, then it would be adequate for bronchiectasis/MAC/NTM patients as well.

Hi - Is anyone able to compare the Chicco to the Wabi? I currently use microwave steam bags, but the bottle steralizers sound interesting.
Thanks, Karen
