Udi H1 is designed to support new parents in their everyday feeding tasks. The device is intuitively designed, allowing parents to sterilize and dry baby feeding equipment without the need for a user manual. Its sleek and concise look enhances the mood and blends into any decor. The patented unique water-pouring corner eliminates the hassle of removing the basket, making the process more efficient. The device operates silently, making it suitable for use in a quiet bedroom. Its 360° Cyclo-steam sterilization kills 99.9% of germs in 7 minutes, and with omnidirectional hot air, it dries as fast as 40 minutes.
The Udi H1's design is simple yet functional. Its matte surface prevents water retention and dust accumulation, while the glossy finish on the inside leaves no water streaks or stains. The square shape of the device allows it to save more space than round containers. The ultra capacious interior fits 9 full-size bottles, allowing parents to sterilize bottles in batches before bedtime. The non-directional lid, small basket, and main basket require no alignment, making assembly easy and straightforward.
The Udi H1's design process began in 2019 in Taiwan, and the product was launched in September 2022. The design was informed by conversations with new moms and feedback from sleep-deprived parents on social media. The designers aimed to create a device that could take some of the parenting load off, ensuring that bottles are sterile for each feeding. The device is so quiet that it can be kept in the bedroom, allowing parents to set up the auto mode and sterilize bottles before bedtime, reducing sleep disruptions.
Developing Udi H1 presented several challenges. The designers aimed to break down the repetitive tasks of sterilizing bottles into an intuitive process. They found that parents often got frustrated when water dripped from the basket onto the base. To solve this, they designed a handy drip tray. They also provided a choice of drying times, optimizing the performance of sterilization and drying while saving time and energy.
The Udi H1 is equipped with three patents: the designated easy water-pouring area, the omnidirectional air outlet grille enhancing the drying speed by 20%, and the adjustable dust-proof sliding cover. This innovative design won the Silver A' Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design Award in 2023, a testament to its outstanding expertise and innovation.
