    This pump works really well and is really effective at pumping milk. The shell fits really well and the different settings mean I can titrate the expressing settings to my supply and length of expressing. I’d highly recommend

    I live this pump. My eldest is 7 and I wish I'd got it with her. Mum youngest is 5 months and this had been so much easier to express. The only thing is it can be hard to do while she's feeding on one side as you need to put the pump to your breast and then press the relevant buttons on the controller. And when baby gets a bit older they want to grab it and see what the noise is all about! Suppose this would be the same with any pump. I have no trouble when she's not on me, the 2 phase system ensures the let down reflex happens and I've managed to store plenty!
  • 4.25/5
    • Strengths:

      It’s portable, both plug in and battery. It’s also pretty quiet.

    • Weaknesses:

      For larger breasts it’s not quite powerful enough.

    My baby was born 11 weeks premature so this was the sole reason I decided to buy a breast pump. All the nurses in the hospital recommended to get this pump. It comes with all the connectors and a small bottle. When I was finally able to feed my baby with the bottle she wasn’t a fan of the teet, which is supposed to imitate breast feeding but it’s easy enough to buy another.
    I have size J breasts after my pregnancy and although I got a lot of milk from the pump they never felt completly relieved I couldn’t pump for more than 20 minutes each side to get that relief as that amount of time would give me sore nipples! But all in all this product is great if you don’t have very large breasts like me!

    I was very happy with my breast pump. It is reliable, I had no problems and I expressed almost every day for 22 months.
    You can express anywhere due to its portability. I would recommend it to any mum. My other two friends are using the same.

    Really effective product, easy to set up, use, clean and sterilise.
    Make sure value is set up properly but clear instructions are provided.
    Hard to do handsfree but possible to use while feeding if your positioning and baby allows.
    Accessories are easy and affordable to purchase. Calma bottle is great and we use it every day to allow baby to have a bottle from her Dad. Have purchased additional Calma teat and bottles since. Baby has no issues switching between feeding from me or the bottle.

    I really would highly recommend this product. It’s really easy to use and compact. You can use it plugged in or with batteries so it’s portable. It’s super easy to set up and everything is easy to clean. It does make a noise but it’s quiet enough not to disturb my baby when she’s asleep.

    This pump has been an absolute saviour, especially when my baby started sleeping more during the night which left me uncomfortably and painfully engorged. It works so well for me. All components that come into contact with breast milk can be taken apart and put in the steriliser after use and it is quick to dismantle and put back together. I've never had a leak when using it and whilst it isn't as efficient at draining my breasts as my baby is I don't think any pump could beat a baby when they are so good at what they do! It does have a rhythmic "whoomp whoomp whoomp" sound when in use but it isn't overly loud and my baby sleeps well with noise so I can use it in the same room whilst she is sleeping. It doesn't even wake my husband and he is a light sleeper.

    It is a good quality pump with all components and accessories needed although I did have to buy a different size end piece because that is the only part dependent on the size of your nipple and you need to get a good fit to ensure comfort and to get the best results. I tend to use the pump during the night if my baby doesn't finish one side for me or if she doesn't wake during the night, just to take the edge off until she feeds again but it would work well if you were exclusively pumping or using more regularly.

    I got a good deal online for this pump as it is a little pricey in the shops but it is well worth the money. Instructions are clear and simple, the design is good with an ergonomic pump and nicely sized bottle. I tend to transfer milk straight from the bottle to milk storage bags for the freezer after pumping and then once washed and sterilised I'm ready to use again quickly.

    I would definitely recommend this pump. After using a Medela pump in hospital when my baby was born (I had a little trouble establishing milk supply at first) I trusted the brand and haven't been disappointed at home. Well worth the investment and I wouldn't be without mine. I love it!

    I loved using this product after getting serious hand ache from trying to express with a manual pump. The only down side really was that you can’t really do anything else while pumping other than drinking a cup of tea...now I’ve written that it’s probably no bad thing at all ha

    I used this pump for 4 months and exclusively expressed breast milk for my child. I found i was able to get a reasonable amount of milk in a short space of tome. On occasions i noticed that milk was returning through the tube and into the unit. I never worked our why this happened. This meant i needed to clean inside the unit as well as the parts. Battery mode was great for travelling and produced the same strength suction as mains mode. I would recommend this pump for someone supplementing with expressed milk. For someone exclusively pumping the double pump would probably help save more tome. But this is a good alternative .

    I used this thinking it was top of the range breast pump, I loved it as I was a first time breastfeeding mum I wanted something decent. I had problems with my daughter latching and they where saying she could be tongue tied and I didn’t like the idea of them having to cut her little tongue so I used this to express. I loved it was so easy to use, all the parts where easy to put together and to take apart to wash all could be sterilised and put in the dishwasher which I thought was really good. I would definitely highly recommended this product to my family and friends, Even for the price!

    We originally had tommee tippee one and upgraded to this I was able to get more milk from it and it was comfortable to use. We were hesitant as it’s quite pricey but it’s worth it! Easy to use and clean and can just sit and pump away! Lasted me 2 kids so far

    Amazing...my best friend. I was in hospital for first 7 weeks of my babies life with her at home or me too ill to feed. I also returned to work after 4 months. This machine has made it possible for me to exclusively breastfeed through all of that. It is fast and effective at taking the milk and fits numerous bottle brands too. It is quiet and subtle as well as completely portable. I express around the house , while doing the washing up, but also whilst I'm in the car (not driving). Amazing bit of kit and can't recommend enough.

    Bought at the last minute when sleep deprived and frustrated that my milk hadn’t come through after a c-section.

    Wished I had bought earlier and expressed it naturally.

    Had a few episodes where milk overflowed into chamber but manual really helpful in rectifying the situation.

    I’ve tried a couple of pumps but definitely get the most milk from this pump as felt the size of the cone was good for my breast. The cone does come away slightly from the bottom of my breast though meaning my milk does leak a little.

    If using the batteries, the power isn’t as strong and the batteries do run out quickly.

    Easy to clean with not too many pieces.

    I have sometimes found milk to get caught in the filter and not push through meaning a backlog of milk which overflows into the pipe.

    This pump was recommended by a family member & it was the best thing. It is very easy to use, power cable is long enough if you can’t sit near a plug. I have taken this pump in my handbag to 3 weddings which was great. I found it easy to set up & it was very effective when I used it. I like how there is a variety of different utensils that you can buy

    This is the best breast pump i have tried so far!
    Really easy to use, great suction to it, makes pumping not so hard work. After trying many manual breast pumps & not getting anywhere I tried this one and was so much better I cant tell you!! It has helped me through mastitis twice and is very easy to clean.
    Would highly recommend!!

    Fantastic for every day use for expressing, especially when travelling (I've used when needing to express in the back of the car) very discrete. Great strength on the pump and can use any intensity. Only downside, the 1st one I had started to suck my milk up the tubes. However, spoke to the helpline and the exchanged straight away.

    I was a bit worried about using a breast pump but this pump made it so easy. Once assembled it is very easy to use. The microwave sterilizing bags are also a really good idea and easy to use. Only downside is the price but when a product works as well as this it is a good investment

    Can’t recommend this pump enough! I used the same make whilst little one was in hospital so was so happy to get one when we came home. It is soft and gentle yet still powerful to express the milk. Parts were easy to use/change/clean when needed. Only thing I would say is it can be a little noisy when doing it around little one but other then that it’s been perfect!
