This is a lovely pump, I previously used the tommee tippee pump and this is by far the best. It's very comfy and easy to use.
You pump it one way (short bursts) to start and then the other way (longer pumps) to express. Would definitely use this again. - Strengths:

After breastfeeding two children and having purchased a number of breast pumps this is by far the best I’ve had and the best value for money. Neat design, compact, lightweight the list goes on. Incredibly easy to put together and to use. Highly recommend. - Strengths:

I got this as a present during the pregnancy and it was a life saver when my milk supply increased and I needed to relief some of the pain caused by engorged breast.Read more
Also, it was a good initiation to pumping, and eventually I switched to the electric version, and keep this one in my bag when travelling for more than 2h.
The big plus on this : if you switch to the Medela Swing or Maxi Swing, all parts are 100% compatible! - Strengths:

This pump saved my breastfeeding journey! I purchased 2 and used both at the same time whilst expressing at work, they work fast and efficiently so pumping takes half the time, i found them easy to clean, although there are lots of parts to remove and clean thoroughly. The bottles hold 5oz generally which was ideal and they also came with the calma teats and lids but i didn't use the teats, the bottles and lids can be purchased separately which i did and they are small enough to fit in a sandwich bag which is amazing for discretion. I didn't experience any pain with these pumps unlike others i had tried.Read more - Strengths:

After a rocky start to breastfeeding I eventually gave up and converted to pumping - this pump has been mine and my son’s best friend since! It’s easy to clean, handle is just right for my small hands too. I found I got more milk with this compared to another top brand pump and it still works perfectly after 8 months of constant use. - Strengths:

I have started trying to build up a small stash of milk for emergencies/when I go back to work and was using my Medela double freestyle pump, which is good, but I'm on my own and was trying to pump after the little man had gone to sleep. The electric pump was loud so I wanted a quieter, more portable option.Read more
I decided to go for the Harmony purely because I already had all the Medela stuff and I'm so glad I did. This pump is incredible, I can pump even more than I was getting with the electric pump that cost 10x what this one did. It even helped when I ended up with a blocked duct that neither baby or electric pump could clear.
Overall I feel this pump is incredible value and an absolute essential for anyone who wants to pump. - Strengths:

I bought this as I started on my re-lactation journey- my son was in the NICU and we never mastered breastfeeding, but when i tried to re-lactate I found the sound of the electric pump brought back bad memories of the NICU . This manual pump is silent, and operated by using your hand to press the lever. There are 2 sides to the lever, the top part is to initiate the pump and get your milk ready, and the main bit to express. For best results, hold down the lever for 10 seconds before letting go as it allows the build up of milk which makes more come out a lot more easily. It is very simple to take apart and put together, which makes cleaning a breeze. The price is very reasonable compared to most breast pumps, the only down-side being you can only express one breast at a time. I'll definitely be choosing this breast pump in future over the electric one. 10/10Read more - Strengths:

I wasn't able to plug my electric pump in at work so purchased this manual pump. The first thing I noticed was its lovely design. When doing the first clean I was pleased with how easy it was to take apart and put back together and also how good it was to clean. I previously struggled with a manual pump so I was a bit apprehensive about how this would go but to my surprise it worked really, really well. I have an electric one which was over £100 and now that never gets used because I have this all for around £25.Read more - Strengths:

This pump is good, I could easily get 4/5 ounces within 15 minutes. It sucks really well, sometimes I did have to pump a bit to start the let down but once it gets going the milk is flowing.Read more
I like that it has a quick pump to start the let down, and a stronger pump to really draw the milk out! Recommend this item! I couldn't really afford an electric one so this did the job! - Strengths:

This pump really is wonderful. It delivers on the promises it makes, is good value for money, and I was staggered at how much milk can be expressed in a short space of time. I would highly recommend the Harmony if you’re looking for a manual pump. - Strengths:

I bought the electric pump As well for £125. I later bought two of the manual one's (one for each boob) as they were on offer for £15 each in boots. Wish I'd never bought the electric one, the manual one's were 100x better; they were quicker, more suction and produced more milk than the electric one

Fantastic item really helped me in the beginning I had a manual pump but was difficult to express with at the start a electric pump work wonders however a little noisy for night time expressing- I’d go into another room away from baby so it doesn’t wake them - still I would highly recommend - Strengths:

This is the best breast pump I’ve used so far. previously I had bought an electric one and a manual one, both not really working for me, reading good reviews I thought I would give this a go and haven’t looked back since. Great for expressing quickly if I need to leave baby with daddy for a couple of hours. Very impressed with this product.

I was absolutely pleased with this item. Medela is the brand that I trust, and I've heard many positive reviews about it before buying it, so did not even consider any other ones, and I am glad I went for this one. It's very easy to use and clean, it works well, it's quite small so easy to store and carry. I would definitely recommend it for mums who don't express milk often (as I would choose the electric one) and just want something that's simple and easy to use.Read more - Strengths:

Before I bought this breast pump I was using Tommee Tippee electric pump but noticed it wasn’t pump well enough and can spend ages pumping. My sister in law recommended this Medela pump, it so fast even though it manual and very easy to clean and sterilised. Great product and no regret I bought it at all.

This pump is great if you don't mind doing the work yourself - being manual is the only downside.Read more
It is so easy to use, and has great suction to the breast. It does have a little leakage as the breast goes down but literally only a drop. Very easy to take apart and clean, and then reassemble. - Strengths:
