Editorial Review
Breastfeeding mothers, especially those who need a night off or who work outside the home, know how essential and personal a breast pump can be. Like most breast pumps, this Medela model mimics a nursing baby's sucking motion, and it comes with numerous attachments that make it easy to transfer a mother's milk into a standard baby bottle. Because of its compact size, the pump is discreet and highly portable. It comes with a companion transformer, so it can be plugged into an electrical outlet, or it can be powered with two AA batteries. --Hannah Reynolds

Yes, it's Loud, But it Works Great! (2010-04-26)
I'm pretty sure I first bought this pump when I had my first 6yrs ago. I only used it a couple of times then - we never got the nursing thing to work out. When my second came along, I pulled out this pump and used it regularly for almost a year. (expressing away from home, helping with engorgement, pumping extra for more supply)
It works great! (Especially if you may be on a budget) Yes, I know the motor is loud, and it took a little while for me to get used to it - but if that is something you can get past or it just doesn't bother you, this single breast pump is fantastic for the price. (if you want a quiter one, look at the Medela Swing, but you also pay more) It only took only 15-20 minutes to pump what my baby could nurse in the same amount of time.
I mostly used the AC adapter, but I have taken it on the road and away from home quite a few times with batteries (2 AA if I remember?) and it worked just as well. I have never had problems with burning through batteries, they always lasted a long time, so long that I started using batteries while at home too so I wasn't stuck in one place.
If I still had this laying around, I would also use it with our 3rd, who is expected in 2 mos. But I have no idea if we gave it away to someone else, or where else it may have went to over the years. I do plan on upgrading to the Medela Swing this time, and only for the noise factor. My kids are 4 and 6yrs now, and with the activity level in my home now, I think a quieter model will better suite everyone's needs.
A great pump but (older model) is noisy (2010-04-02)
A fast efficient pump, but the older model at least, is quite noisy. Not sure if they've fixed this issue. Very small and easily portable; if they've fixed the noise problem with this model or you don't mind it, this is an excellent pump.
good pump (2010-03-23)
i started using the avent manual pump until i received this one as a gift. in my first pumping i got twice the amount of milk in half the amount of time that i would have gotten with the manual pump. i was in shock. the only problem is that it uses batteries really fast so i would invest in some rechargeable batteries for it. would be nice if it came with a carrying case but that is minor. overall a really good pump and i would recommend it to anyone.
