Product reviews

I bought this from a fellow mumsnetter at a greatly reduced price so as far as I am concerned it was great value for money! I found it very easy to use with a quiet pump which was extremely effective at achieving a fast letdown. The pump speed and suction is adjustable for comfort which is a great plus point, although I never managed to actually use it hands free. It is a bit bulky to carry around, but the fact that it comes with a cool bag to store expressed milk is a great bonus. I would definitely recommend this breast pump to others.

After buying this (because I have a premature baby in hospital and would be pumping around the clock), I found I ended up returning to my Avent Isis, which was easier to use and produced more milk. I was told the 'Pump-in-Style' was as good as a hospital breast pump but this is not the case. It was harder to achieve let-down, and the breast shield was fiddly to assemble and sterilize. The 'hands-free' thing didn't work for me either; even after buying a special bra I still needed to hold the breast shield in place most of the time. And you are still plugged in. At under half the price, the Avent Isis did a better job for me.

comfort, easy to use, an effective & fast way to get milk but sometimes it's too big to carry..

Users liked the fact that you can "adjust the vacuum and speed for comfort". One user used it "hands-free, sitting at a table", others said they needed both hands and moaned "it sounds rather whiny like the other electric Medela". "Easy to clean and use", it comes with an optional battery pack/car adapter "which is more useful than you'd think" plus the bag can be used to store milk. One user raved "this is the only pump I could get any milk out with". "Expensive" but "the time is saves means it's well worth the money".
