Supplier says

The Philips AVENT ISIS Manual Breast Pump includes 2 AVENT Bottles (125ml/4oz). Mums can express directly into the container which can then be used with the Airflex Feeding Bottle for easy feeding. The pump works quickly, gently and quietly without the need for motors or batteries.

Loved** this pump. I tried an electric one but much preferred this manual one. It is quiet and easy to use and the milk comes out fast after you are practiced at using it. I wouldn't bother spending the extra money on an electric version.

** well, as far as one can love a breastpump!

Overall a very good pump although you do need to be a bit careful with the positioning to avoid grating your nipples on the edge of the cushioney bit! I prefer this to my electric pump as like to be able to control the suction myself

A perfectly brilliant pump.It does require some self assembly...but this is straightforward.Light and efficient.Well proportioned for my biggish hands.Was given mine second hand in great condition having seen alot of action.Cannot think of one negative thing about it!.

This is a rubbish product. I bought it and only used it once. There are much better pumps on the market that are both easier to use and more efficient. Personally I found all the different parts both confusing and a complete faff to clean and assemble.

If you are in the unfortunate position where you have to express multiple times a day (as I did when my son was born prematurely) this pump is NOT adequate.
