Loads of ppl really rate the Swing (it is a LOT quieter) but I cannot get a drop out with it whereas with my electric mini (5 years ago ) and a double medela i've borrowed from a friend (concept as the mini but bigger and posher ) this tme I can decent amounts out!!

I like the Swing - but not tried any other!

i have the double swing (pump in style) and it is very quick and quiet.

that's the one I'm using. Love it! It's not rally like the swing - it does have the 2 phases but the way it does the work is a lot more like the electric mini (I think so anyway). imo the swing is very different and i hated it (cos I couldn't get anything out)

I've hired a Medela Symphony and it's great. Double pump with with the two phase action. Google "medela pump hire" if you want to find suppliers.

I've used the mini electric & the swing. The swing is in a different class to the mini electric which I really didn't get on with. Lent my swing to my cousin recently & she loved it too.
