Customer Reviews
works great! (2010-05-07)
I used this pump for a year and got a lot of good wear out of it. It is good for home and work if you have an area to pump in there. My only real complaint is your hand are completely tied up while using it but I guess that is true of any pump. Otherwise it is easy to use and the "let down" feature is simple and useful. All in all I was very satisfied.
great deal great pump (2010-04-05)
my wife loved this pump, with a busy schedule between being a Nursing College student and all the tons of homework she was able to still find time to pump. She could tuck the suction cups under her bra in a way where it was hands free. she had a great experience with this as a busy new mom.
Made breastfeeding possible for me (2009-12-07)
I can honestly say that this pump is what allowed me to provide breast milk to my children.
I heard lots of things about how good breastfeeding is for babies but my first refused to latch to the breast. I used the hospital model for a couple weeks to establish milk supply and then used this exclusively for another 6 months. I actually had better success with this pump in both comfort and supply. I was able to get about 15 oz in 10 minutes with this pump.
My second child was born preemie so she was unable to feed at the breast and again I pumped exclusively. After establishing a supply, I had no problems with it (approx 5 1/2 months of use).
When the third came around, again I pumped exclusively for about 6 months. I did start to notice a few things with it (zipper started sticking towards the end of use and once it made a funny noise like the pump was going out but it stopped and continued working for the remaining 4 1/2 months of use).
Pros:
-Portability (takes less than 5 minutes to pack everything needed into bag or set up for pumping)
-Ease of finding and cost of additional parts - available at Target stores, hospital, online and several other stores
-Same brand and near same quality of machines hospital provides
-Pump fits any standard size bottle
-Breast shields available in several different sizes to minimize discomfort
-Work (IBM) provided purchase option at 1/4 of retail price
-Withstood approx 18 months of heavy use (anywhere from 3 to 12 times per day every day the entire time)
Cons:
-Tight fit for storage and parts in bag
-Keeping condensation out of the hoses was a challenge (I had to purchase several sets b/c I couldn't get the moisture out sometimes. I would run it on "let down" for about 2 minutes just air running through after I was done and that seemed to help but didn't completely eliminate problem. Again, pretty cheap though at $4 to replace).
-Battery pack was heavy and didn't work very well
-If you are not the "standard size", you will need to purchase the breast shields separately but only $12 a set for those.
the best money spent ever (2009-11-10)
this product was worth every penny. I love it. Great buy for working moms. It came with all the parts needed and manual. I use it at least 4 times a day.
