Best Manual Pump?

I plan to breastfeed but want to have a pump on hand at home incase we need to use bottles. The electronic breast pumps I've seen are quite pricey. Which brand is good for a manual pump? Thanks x

Philips avent. Every day of week. Brilliant pump.

I had the Medela hand pump and found it really good, it can ache your hands a bit, in general I preferred my electric pump, but it was a good alternative

The Haakaa pumps are fantastic but realistically if you want to express more than one feed a day then you’ll need an electric pump. Look for second-hand closed system pumps which can be safely and fully sterilised between users.

The Tommy tipee or however you spell it wasn't that bad. I had the manual medela one before getting it and I prefer it as I only had to hold the pump on me rather than get hand cramp. It's fairly cheap too.

My dc didn't like expressed milk though, apparently some expressed milk tastes awful after being warmed up and I guess mine did.

Tommy electric one that should say.
