Easy to clean system

I was planning on breastfeeding, but we've had to do both breast and formula. All of the bottle washing is overwhelming. Is there an easy system you've found for formula feeding?
I have the Kinde system as I was going to use it for breastfeeding. I was intrigued by only having to wash nipples and pump parts vs all bottle parts. Anything like this for formula? Or anyone use Kinde for formula?

Re: Easy to clean system
I breastfed for a few weeks before we switched to formula and we used the Kiinde system. It was REALLY easy to pump into and store. We have twins so I had two of the Kozii warmers and TONS of extra parts. Ultimately, I think it is great if you only breastfeed, just not so easy with formula. You can use the funnel to put the formula into the bags, but I always found that kind of a pain.
For the formula, we have just 8 bottles total (Avent classic) and a couple of extra nipples. We got the Avent sanitizing steamer as a gift and that thing is probably the most used product we have. You wash the bottles, put 4 in it, then sanitize in the microwave. It's really a crapshoot as to which was easier - Kiinde vs bottles - because I always sanitized the pump parts after every use so it seemed like there was just as much stuff to clean. I would just give yourself some options that way if something doesn't work out for one reason or another, you have a backup. Good luck!
