recommendations for breast pump

I am hoping to breast feed my baby (who is due next week) but am hoping to express when my supply is up properly so I can leave my baby with family should i need to/want to eventually. I understand this wont be for a fair few months, but I would love to have my pump asap so i know i have it!

My sister was partly successful with feeding, resulting in her pumping for a few months and then giving up because of lack of support. and my mum was unable to feed any of us back in the day. I am expecting this to possibly happen to me as well, but i really hope to be able to feed even if it is only for a few months so i dont want to spend loads on a pump for it to fail, but I know having a good pump could make or break my breast feeding experience too, also any tips or tricks to make my experience pumping and feeding easier.

I have two - a tommee tippee manual that was about £15 and I’ve used quite a few times (and I’m sure will become even more useful if out without baby for longer periods and need to express in car etc), I then also have a nuby electric one which is great! I can pump both breasts in less than 20 minutes.
I started to express when baby was about 10 days old and meant that husband could feed baby once or twice a day and meant I could have a nice long sleep or go out for a few hours.
