Great thanks for all your posts I am solely expressing at present so it will be used a lot. Assume it has a 12 month guarantee.

Yeah definately much better than the Avent Isis and everyone seems to love that one.

Fab. Much better than a hand pump thingy.

Mine was brill.Tonnes better than handheld Avent Isis.

Found it too noisy and prefer my manual Tommee Tippee one too!

Oh bluebump I did that too.
Actually that was one thing I did like about it was the adjustable suction over a manual it did give me a better let down actually over a manual.

Depends what you're looking for.
I had one and wasn't particularly more spectacular at getting the milk out although a little better, than a manual pump and it was a bit noisy.
But for the price it was a fantastic buy did it's job well and will do me next time without a doubt.
It was easy to use although the instructions were a bit rubbish but easy to figure out. I'm not sure how I would have got on if I wanted it for heaps of use i'm sure there are better ones out there but I can't complain about it really.

It is quite noisy but it is ok, I preferred my Tommee Tippee hand held one actually though but then by the time I used the Medela one my supply was pretty low.

Oh, and I kept making the mistake of using it on one boob with the suck on maximum and then putting it on the other and switching it on before moving the suction down to a more managable speed to start off with! Ouch!

Have been hiring the medlela symphony but now need to send it back as the cost is prohibitive. Interested in hearing the opinions of those who have used the mini electric. TIA
