The Best Bottle Drying Racks of 2020

The easy-to-clean Boon Grass has developed a strong following online, not only for its unique look, but for its ability to help dry items faster. There are currently more than 3,000 reviews on Amazon, with over 92% of reviewers giving it 4 or 5 stars. While it doesnt have quite as much capacity as other models, the Boon Lawn is a larger option2 inches longer and 4 inches widerif you find you need more space.

Both models have the same design features: an easy-to-clean, low profile design; and high-quality plastic parts that wont break easily. There are also a host of other accessories, namely the Boon Twig which adds some efficiency to the equation by holding some extra parts at a higher elevation than the bottles.

One drawback of the Boon Grass (and Lawn) is that the bottom of the "grass" tends to grow a slimy film and can form mildew. The only way around this is to take it apart and wash it daily, which some exhausted new parents may find annoying.

When your bottles, parts and pacifiers need a good place to dry out, look no further than the Boon Grass. Our pick is functional, space-efficient, and easy to clean, and if you need more room you can always upgrade to the bigger Boon Lawn.

The Dr. Brown's Universal Drying Rack is also a great pick for effectively drying all of your bottles and parts. We like that this one folds up when not in use, and that there are different sized prongs based on what you need to dry. Some of the aspects we didn't like were that it's hard to clean, and that certain bottles may be too wide to fit next to one another on the prongs. While this model isn't quite as versatile as the Boon Grass, it does have a large capacity and doesn't take up too much room on your countertop.

Even though we generally love OXO brand products, this one disappointed in how it took longer than normal to dry a bottle. The racks shorter prongs actually limit the amount of airflow, and subsequently increase the length of time to dry, given that the bottles sit so close to the base. However, we did like the OXO Tot's solid construction and materials, and we found the attached cup to be great for drying utensils.

While an interesting concept, we found that this drying rack was large and inefficient, which is not the combination that youre going for. Even though the double-decker approach is designed to give you extra room, testers noted that this was too high to fit underneath kitchen cabinets, leaving it front and center on your counter. We found that the other models offered higher capacity, and they took up less real estate. Plus, due to all of the different prongs and crevices, the Munchkin was somewhat difficult to thoroughly clean.

On the positive side, the Munchkin High Capacity rack allows for more airflowand faster drying timebecause the bottles are lifted so high off the counter. It also spins around, to make reaching all the prongs a cinch, and the uniquely-shaped prongs fit lots of different bottle parts.

The elevated prongs of the Philips Avent drying rack allow for a nice amount of airflow, and this rack is super easy to clean. We also liked that this model was compact, and rather space efficient, but it lacked an area to put your larger extra parts like nipples or handles. When you end up using the prongs for parts, you lose out on capacity, meaning that youll likely need two of these to satisfy your drying rack needs.

We found that Prince Lionhearts offering was unique, in that it was both compact and space efficient, but we found that with more capacity came more problems. The upper rack offers a good amount of airflow, and was a nice addition for drying bottle parts, but we ended up having to remove all of the pieces in order to get to the bottles. Cleaning is also a challenge given the paper-clip design, so prepare to scrub deep down in the crevices to keep this one clean.
