Lansinoh electric breast pump

Has anybody used this and if so what is it like?

I have been EBF for 5 months but am returning to work soon and will need to express. I already have a manual tommee tippee pump which I can express about 60-90 mls each time with but was thinking that a double electricpump might cut time and also yield more milk.

I have found the lansinoh pump online for about £90 but am a bit sceptical as to why its much cheaper than the others?

Has anybody used it??

Do you mean the double pump with let-down feature?

I have that. The double pump pressure wasn't as good as single only, and although I expressed a lot for the first year as I was expressing for the milk bank I mainly used it on single setting. On the other hand I find it painful to express on one side without a soft-shell flange (which this didn't come with - I don't know if they're available) so it didn't matter in the end.

I'd bought it because of the double pump feature but I don't really rate it for that. However, the only double I can compare it to is the Ardo hospital grade pump I rented from NCT which was worlds apart (and darned well should be) so I'm afraid I can't say whether it's better or worse than other non-hospital grade double pumps which isn't so helpful.

I have this pump and I use it once a day. However like OCC I only use it on single pump mode so can't comment on double pumping.
I also moved to this from the tommee tippee one and it's loads, loads better than that.
I was bought this so didn't have any choice over make/model but I would buy it again
