I have quite big boobs and I found the funnel bit really uncomfortable. I also found it quite hard to get any decent suction from it, and it was hard work and tiring to use.

Fiddly to put together and get apart and hard to clean as the pump bit doesn't come completely apart.

I liked the carrying case though!

Lightweight but not very efficent. The concertina design of the suction area is no longer removable so very difficult to clean.

I bought a more expensive breast pump that was way too fiddly to assemble (the instruction manual was several pages long). Instead, I find this cheap, convenient and EASY to assemble and clean pump! I only express so that I can have the odd couple of hours off, so value for money was important. The convenience of the adaptor bits cannot be overstated. They fit my more expensive brand bottles.

Users liked this "good, cheap manual pump". It's "good fit" and "not hard to get a comfortable air-tight grip". Compared to other manual pumps it's "very easy to assemble" and has different ring attachments "so it can be used with most small and wide necked bottles", plus it's relatively small and light so quite portable. "If you're used to an electric pump you may find it a bit slow" and like many manual pumps it can be "tiring on the hands", but if you're just going to be an occasional expresser it's "great value for money".
