Medela Mini Electric

It seemed to work fine for the 6 weeks I used it, but it was definitely struggling towards the end... I think the motor would have given out any moment...

However, it could be plugged into the mains (although it would be nice if the lead was a little bit longer) which was good.

It's also pretty noisy, but this can be muffled by putting a jumper over it!

I borrowed one of these from a friend to begin with and it was great - much easier to put together and to use than a manual pump that I had. I only needed to have it on the lowest suction setting to make my milk flow.

So I then bought my own and ran into difficulties. I found the suction on the pump that I bought was stronger than on the one I had borrowed (which was probably quite old). I have quite small nipples and, even on its minimum setting, the suction was too strong and quite painful - leaving me with sore nipples. I've ended up going back to the manual pump as I can control the suction on that - even though it is more fiddly to put together and to use.

I found this really simple to use - I borrowed it from a friend and didn't have the instructions but it was really obvious. It was also quite efficient - despite copious supply I find pumping really difficult but once I got the first ounce or so out it really gushed! Also I could sit and use it with one hand and leaf through a magazine which made the whole process more enjoyable. Previously I have only tried a manual Avent so can't compare this to other electric pumps. It was much easier to clean and put back together than the Avent.

Noisy but very effective - I've also used the Swing and found this really as good and vastly cheaper.

I found this pump very east to use. I didn't buy it until I had my third child and had a used a manual pump with my other with no sucess.

It is a bit noisy but worth it when the milk starts flowing!
