Kiwy UV Steriliser & Dryer FAQs
1. How does your UV Steriliser work?
The interior of our Cube UV steriliser is made of honeycomb-shape stainless steel. When the UV mode is switched on, the UV lights get reflected onto the stainless steel surfaces and onto the items that has been placed into the steriliser in order to effectively eliminate up to 99.999% harmful bacteria. Our UVC LED light has a wavelength between 257-280nm, which is very effective in eliminating these harmful bacteria.
2. How does an UV steriliser compare to a traditional steam steriliser?
UV sterilisers are quick and easy to use, performing sterilising, drying and storage functions with only a single press of a button, perfect for busy parents! Steam sterilisers, on the other hand, performs only sterilising function. Just imagine having to manually remove items and placing them on a drying rack, and then waiting for a long time to dry, while juggling your crying baby. Lastly, UV sterilisers have a much bigger capacity than traditional steam sterilisers so you can sterilise more items at once.
