[@avamariemla]

this was such a good video! i’ve been having issues using regular soap to clean my washer, i’m going to try the vinegar later today! thank you

[@DadLifePGH]

@@avamariemla yes! Give it a shot and let me know how it goes!

I use filtered water for mine. Never had an issue with limescale build up. 6 month in

[@DadLifePGH]

Awesome! 👏🏻

Hi, we’ve used the bottle cleaner regularly since Nov 2024. I have always used purified water from a 5 gallon container you buy from a local grocery store. I refill mine from our local water dispenser center Would the device still need to be cleaned as often? I haven’t seen much or any limescale build up..

[@DadLifePGH]

@@Es_TuMadre95 sounds like you’re using great water so I would expect less timescale build up as you mentioned. The vinegar in the wash cycle really just addresses any limescale buildup so if you don’t have any, then you should be good. I would maybe just replace the air filter when it’s time.

[@ButteredFlied]

Hi! Thanks again for an informative video! Would using boiled tap water do anything to help slow down the limescale buildup? Or is it better to use Brita filtered water? I might be too lazy to do either, and might just end up using straight tap water 😂 but just wondering which is better for avoiding buildup. Thanks!

[@DadLifePGH]

@@ButteredFlied hi! Neither method will slow down the timescale build up because they don’t remove calcium or magnesium in the water which are the main contributors to timescale buildup. Boiling water will sterilize the water by killing bacteria and viruses. The Brita filter will not kill any bacteria or viruses but it will partially remove some heavy metals like lead or mercury. It will also remove some chlorine and improve the taste/smell of water. So, both are equally as effective with respect to avoiding limescale build up. Since the machine has a sterlization mode, maybe the Brita filter or just regular tap water should be fine?

[@ButteredFlied]

@ got it! Come to think of it, I’m not using any special water when I wash bottles by hand lol. so I guess just tap water will be fine as long as I descale with vinegar as needed. Thanks!

[@DadLifePGH]

@ exactly! You have the right idea!

Hi Brian! I've been researching this product and watched all your videos on it. Thank you so much for sharing all the information, it's been so helpful! I just subscribed to your channel :) I have a question and hoping you could help me. I currently hand wash my wearable pump after each use about 8 times a day. I would like to use the bottle washer to do this instead, but skip the sterilization. Does it have simply a "wash+dry" setting where I could skip the sterilization? And if so, how long is that cycle? Thanks so much for any insight!

[@DadLifePGH]

@@Laurennx0x Awesome, I’m glad these videos were helpful! Yes it does - The wash and dry cycle takes about 1hr. Hope it works well for you if you choose to get it!

[@Laurennx0x]

Awesome thank you!

My. Machine is getting a greasy buildup, I’ve disassembled to wash the parts, but am not sure how best to get the fatty buildup off or prevent it. Help!

I have been using my washer everyday all day since August and I just got an error saying no water yet the tank is full and the washer had already ingested about 1/3 of the tank. I unplugged it, made sure nothing was blocking the tank nob at the bottom and tried adding vinegar to it yet I am still getting this error. Any thoughts?

[@DadLifePGH]

@@Silverstar1717 I haven’t encountered or heard of this issue yet unfortunately. I would contact [e-mail] directly and hopefully they can help. Please let us know what you find out!

[@Silverstar1717]

ll right, I fixed it! When they say take apart all parts they really mean it. I unscrewed the metal plate took out the little filter top that looks like what would be in a dishwasher then there’s a second filter in there and took off the middle arm by unscrewing it. when looking in there, there was a little bit of white buildup. You wouldn’t think that would make a difference, but it did. I’m now running a cleaning cycle with vinegar and water and will do it again one more time so if anyone else has this issue, make sure you actually take all the pieces apart, including the ones that are screwed in. I also highly suggest a water distiller, especially if you live in an area with hard water. I’ve been using one for about a month and it’s crazy the amount of mineral deposits that are in our water. I hope the maintenance on my momcozy bottle Washer will not have to happen as frequently. From this experience I’ve learned about the maintenance aspect of the bottle washer as that was not disclosed in any advertisement, hard to find on their website and I didn’t see it in the manual. Thanks @dadlife for your great videos!!

[@DadLifePGH]

@ wow! Awesome job figuring it out! Thanks for sharing these amazing thoughts and experiences 🙌🏻

[@SailorV13]

What’s the best way to clean the water tank and lids?

[@DadLifePGH]

@@SailorV13 you can either hand wash or wash them in your dishwasher!

Hi, i just purchased this product and use it 3 times. Is it normal if the water is not fully drain? Everything is functioning well including drying and storage function but water is still not fully draining.

[@DadLifePGH]

@@nurshahidamohamadpauzi3018 Thanks for reaching out! I’m not quite sure since I haven’t experienced that issue yet. I would recommend reaching out to Momcozy customer service and see if they have any tips or maybe they can replace it for you for free! If you bought it on Amazon, you can request a replacement unit as well.

[@DadLifePGH]

@@nurshahidamohamadpauzi3018 hope you’re well! I just heard back from Momcozy and they mentioned that “these problems may have been caused by using a model that doesn't match the local voltage specifications. Please note that simply switching plugs between high and low voltage will not work properly. Users can switch plugs on platforms with similar pressure, but we do not recommend doing this. Using an incompatible voltage will result in reduced functionality (which affects the product’s performance). Please check whether they might have used a converter or transformer that caused the product to malfunction?” Hope this helps!

Hello hye.. Enjoying your review video.. Hope you can give a comment about this.. I have been using this machine about two months in time.. Everything is perfect until my machine is not doing well in drying.. So the bottles are wet.. And the water left at the base of the machine.. Do you have any idea what is the problem?.. Thank you for your reply..

[@DadLifePGH]

@@AbuZarrinAZIZ hope you’re well! I just heard back from Momcozy and they mentioned that “This issue might be related to the voltage or possibly a concern with the product's fan, which requires further verification.

[@kaygonzalez1458]

Hello, I'm using tap water. The water here is hard but I can't imagine constantly buying distilled water. What should I do?

[@DadLifePGH]

@@kaygonzalez1458 That’s ok! Nothing wrong with tap water. A few things: 1) if you can use filtered water (like a Brita filter or water from a fridge dispenser) - this would help. 2) run a cleaning cycle if/when you start to see white spots/residue on your baby gear or in the unit after a cycle Hope this helps!

[@krobbins53]

@@DadLifePGHis the cleaning cycle with the vinegar? When running this, do I add a tablet too? What cycle should I run on? TIA!

[@DadLifePGH]

@ you don’t need to add a tablet to the cycle because you really want the vinegar to do most of the work. You can run it using the rapid cycle since you don’t need to sanitize anything during this run.

[@lz439]

How often can we use vinegar to clean the machine?

[@DadLifePGH]

@@lz439 Generally, once you start to see white residue start to build up, then it might be a good time to do a cleaning cycle. For us, it’s been maybe once every 3 months? Hope this helps!

[@lz439]

OK thanks! We have pretty hard water in Hawaii so that's helpful to know!

[@nguyenngo2425]

Hi Brian! Did you misspeak when you said you could use a Clorox wipe to clean the internal part of the machine? Don’t Clorox wipes contain bleach which is toxic?

[@DadLifePGH]

@@nguyenngo2425 thanks for bringing this up! I misspoke and you should clean the internal parts with soap and water. Thanks!
