 Exceptional results....coming from an exclusively pumping mom March 15, 2009

I had trouble early on with breastfeeding and had to go back to work right away, so I am an exclusively pumping mom. I started with Medela (pump in style), then switched to this pump about 2 months ago. I can not believe how great this pump is, especially for the price. The shields are comfortable, the handle allows me to pump completely handsfree (just need a secure place to rest the bottles), it is very quiet, and I am getting more milk! It does not suck as fast as the Medela, but it doesn't have to....it has what I would describe as a vibration to it that provides more stimulation and is actually quite comfortable. I have now reached my 6 month goal, but will continue to pump due to the ease, comfort, and results this pump is providing. I can easily get 30 oz's pumping just 4 times a day! I highly recommend this pump!
Great pump!!! After MEDELA hand pump May 24, 2009

I am writing from my husbands' account.
Just switched this pump on. And its really great!
I have Medela Harmony and its awfull. It costed me smth about $30. i spent 30 mins to pump both breasts. And it was not comfortable to pump. Hands become tired (i needed 2 hands to pump), it was pumping too hard for my nipples so most of the time they became a bit purple. Shield became warp so while you pump milk was leaking out.
THIS PUMP IS GREAT!!! shields are soft. the strength of pumpimg is adjustable from very gentle to a strong-enough level and you feel it not like "fooooooof fooooooof" but just like "foof-foof-foof-foooof foof-foof-foof-foooof" and it really feels as a sucking of a baby!
recommend it to everyone!

I originally had a different brand product that gave out after about 1 month of use. I returned it and got a refund and decided to try the miPump. I started with the single unit and loved it so I bought the double unit and it has worked wonderfully. I did rent a professional grade unit from my peds office but it was so bulky and definitely not able to take with you in the car (no batteries)and I ended up giving it back because this one worked as good if not better and has the ability to take with you wherever you go. Just make sure you have several batteries if you are using the battery feature as it goes through them rather quickly.
Quiet Quick Pump December 1, 2009
Mom of Two
Best pump, quiet and quick. I use this pump many times a day and it has been the only thing to allow me to still give our son breast milk. He did not take to nursing and after many weeks of frustration I just started to pump. The suction is perfect, I am done in 15 mins and it comes with the most fantastic bottles. (I actually bought more of the bottles because he will not take any others) I only hope I can find replacement suction cups so my sister can use it when she is ready.
Perfect Pump... Cute Bag February 9, 2010
A. Williams
I was given this pump as a gift from my mother-in-law. I really wanted a small sized pump that I could use at home and when I go out; and this pump has not disappointed me. It's great for a dependable home pump; but I like that I can also use it on the go.
It's not really as quiet as I would have expected. It's about as loud as a cell phone vibrating on a counter top. Not too obnoxious, but not unnoticeable either.
The strength of the suction is perfect. It's strong enough to drain me sufficiently but not so strong that it hurts. In fact, I used this pump for two days exclusively when I was so chapped and sore from breastfeeding. The pump was very comfortable and allowed me to take a break from the pain without having to stop giving my baby my own breast milk.
The handle that allows you to pump both sides at a time is nice, but kind of awkward to use. I tried it one time but if I moved at all, one or both sides lost suction. This defeated the purpose of being able to multi-task. It ended up taking the same amount of time as when I only pump one side at a time so I don't use the handle anymore. I've heard others say that their pump didn't work as well when they pumped one side at a time but I haven't had any problems using mine that way. The instruction manual does say that it is OK to be used like that. Considering the fact that the single pump is around $15 cheaper, I would suggest saving a little money and buying that one instead. The handle just isn't worth the higher cost in my opinion.
My favorite part about this pump is the bottles. My baby didn't like any other bottles that we tried. The Breastflow bottles have been wonderful. I liked them so much that I got The First Years Breastflow BPA Free Starter Set to expand to the set. If you use this pump with these bottles, you can just unscrew the collection bottle from the pump, add the nipple, and give directly to the baby. The less you have to transfer the milk from one bottle to another, the less chance you have that the milk will come in contact with bacteria.
I'm really thankful for this pump. It's absolutely perfect for my needs. The best part about the pump is the cute tote bag that comes with it. I feel happy carrying it around without embarrassment. I've even been complimented on how cute my bag is and the person had no idea that I had my pump in it. :) I love my pump and would recommend it to others.
