After the success RapidCool, that won gold in the Mother& Baby Awards 2025 for its innovative way of preparing formula feeds, Nuby have introduced two new revolutionary products: the RapidHot and RapidSterilise.
Designed to make life for new parents a whole lot simpler, the two new products RapidHot and RapidSterilise have both been designed designed to make feeding easier, faster and more convenient. RapidHot is a baby bottle preparation machine (that is surprisingly quiet) that delivers instant, filtered boiling water at the touch of a button at the exact feed size you need. Simply slide in your RapidCool, select your feed size and then add formula. Your bottle should be ready in two minutes.
RapidSterilise will sterilise your bottles wherever you are. It is a portable UV steriliser that will zap away 99.9% of bacteria in just one minute with no water or harsh chemicals. It fits onto your RapidCool with no cords and no fuss and your RapidCool will be ready to use in no time at all.
The three products will revolutionise your bottle-making routine.

Benefits of the new Nuby RapidHot and RapidSterilise for you and your baby
Making up a bottle and then waiting for it to be at feeding temperature can seem like the longest time of your life, especially if you've got a crying baby in your arms. Nuby RapidHot and RapidSterilise will transform your bottle making routine, making it quicker, safer and easy to do anywhere.
Jamie Reed, Head of Product at Nuby said: “At Nuby, we’re all about making life easier for parents. With RapidHot and RapidSterilise joining our already much loved RapidCool to create the RapidTeam, we’re here to make feeding quicker and take away the stress of making a bottle because we all know that’s what parents really want.
“Whether it’s RapidHot’s instant filtered boiling water, RapidSterilise’s one minute UV magic or RapidCool cooling baby formula milk from boiling to the perfect temperature in just two minutes, we’ve designed these products with parents in mind to make feeding faster, simpler and just plain easier.”

Testing the RapidHot and RapidSterilise
RapidHot
I was really impressed with how the RapidHot machine looked compared to other machines we’d seen on the market. It’s a really sleek design that almost looks like a coffee machine, meaning it looks great on your kitchen counter.
The set-up of the RapidHot was so easy, you simply pop in the filter, fill the back with water and it’s good to go. It has a clever memory function so that it remembers the last feed size, making those nighttime feeds easier and taking a lot of the guesswork out of measuring. It also filters the water, to remove any impurities.

After hearing a fair bit about prep machines such as the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep, I was unsure about how practical this could be at making bottles but the RapidHot really impressed me! It really did make bottle preparation quicker and hassle-free, especially during late-night feeds. It's relatively quiet too, and it can make a bottle in just two minutes.
The machine is easy to use, which is a huge win when trying to claw back some hours of sleep. I actually use this to make my own hot drinks, so I ended up being able to drink a warm drink pretty much straight away, which as a new parent, is a huge win. I really think this might be my favourite item as a parent.
RapidSterilise
The steriliser is easy to attach onto the RapidCool and even bottles, and it feels like an absolute game-changer for cleaning at home and on the go. We have a big steriliser which we love, but it’s not so convenient when we are out visiting family and we have to really plan what we take. But the RapidSterilise takes away that stress as it can be used on the go.
The Nuby RapidSterilise really came to save the day too. It means that I can use my RapidCool on the go, give it a quick wash and sterilise whilst out and about.
I loved the fact that it can sterilise fast and doesn’t use any chemicals at all. One downside was the cleaning process, particularly with the Nuby RapidSterilise UV Steriliser. While it works well and sterilises bottles quickly, it can be a bit tricky to clean thoroughly, as it can’t be submerged in water. But otherwise it’s such a handy device.

Final verdict
The RapidHot and Sterilise are game-changers for busy parents. The RapidHot makes making bottles so much quicker and easier, with the added convenience of being able to make your own hot drinks from it too! I also think the RapidSterilise is a great little device. It’s quick and small enough to be taken on the go and it's really handy having a portable sterilisation solution at hand.
Both products are really good value for money and definitely worth purchasing – especially if you’re going to get the RapidCool as well.
