Fantastic. I wish I'd known about this for my first child. Very effective at getting out lots of milk quickly, and not painful like manual pumps.

Breastshield went a bit sticky after much sterilising, but not sure whether it was supposed to have gone in a microwave sterisliser? But bought replacement one for only £6 anyway.

It is expensive, but I resold on ebay for more than half of the original price.

expensive but good. nice and quiet. the bottle that comes with it can be a bit small if you have a lot of milk. i borrowed this from a friend in the early months when i was useless with a manual pump!

Easy to use, not cheap but worth it if you are going to breast-feed for a while. Quite compact for an electric model so it's quite portable.

Couldn't feed baby and express at the same time.

I really like this pump. It's small, light and not bulky and operates off the mains or off batteries. It's easy to use and effective too; lots of milk. Reasonably quiet although I bury it under a cushion if I turn it onto the maximum setting and I am watching the TV. At less than the max setting, it's a lot quieter. I recommend this pump.

I'm really disappointed with this one. I bought it when DD was 7 months old, as my cheap avent manual one finally broke. I thought it would be easier, but it's far slower and fiddlier. The suction appparatus is simpler to fit together, but the suction's not as strong as I'd get myself with the manual pump, and you can't vary the rate of pumping, just the strength of the suction. So I can get more milk in half the time with the manual pump by going slower but with harder suction. The tubing gets condensation in it every time I use it, and the power cord isn't long enough to reach my chair. For £70, that's a big disappointment. I'm considering buying another manual pump to replace it, it's that bad.
