Worked for a month!!! September 18, 2008 I bought this pump after I had to return the rental to the hospital.Boy was that a mistake.I bought it because I didnt want to spend a lot of money and I didnt know how long I was going to breastfeed for.It's super loud and super top heavy and the bottles would always fall over and leak milk.I only used this pump for a month before it completly died but before that I would get such a small amount of milk that sometimes I would just dump it out.I now own the Lansinoh double electric and the Avent Isis manual.I couldnt be happier with these two pumps. I use the manual when I'm feeding just to get the other side and the Lansinoh when I'm at work or if I miss a feeding.Since I've been using these two pumps my supply has incresed.
Good enough for emergencies August 31, 2008 We bought this pump as an emergency backup. It is good enough to be a cheap item that you keep in your car, but I'd never have considered this to replace my Medela Pump In Style Advanced.
The reason why the dual pump gets lower reviews than the single is that the second pump is daisy-chained off the first -- so you're getting the same amount of suction for both breasts (you can use only the one at a time, though). Not conducive to pumping more than a couple of ounces, if you're lucky. The four-ounce capacity of the bottles is rather optimistic, in my opinion, especially since the entire unit can run on 3 AA batteries.
So, if you're stuck somewhere and desperately need to pump off a bit of excess, you can use this unit. It rates better than a manual pump simply because at least you don't end up with sore hands as well. Understand, however, that you'll still have to hold onto the pump(s) as you go -- so driving while pumping is out of the question!
Why can't I rate this pump a 'ZERO'? August 22, 2008 I read the reviews and figured for the cost it was worth the risk. Well, it failed after 10 days, the motor just went dead, and I spent almost 2 weeks arguing with the "geniuses" from Evenflo about this pump. The 10 days my wife used it, it worked very well, although a little loud. As a precaution, we bought a "slightly used" Medela Swing pump on ebay for $58.00 and spent an additional $13.00 for a new membrane and shield and it works flawlessly, even 2 months later! We finally managed to get Wal-Mart to let us return it, we had to show it was broken when we opened it. Spend a little extra and get something that will work and last.
It gets the job done!! June 4, 2008 This pump is great! I have been breastfeeding for 20 months and I use it CONSTANTLY. I've even gone on a week long trip and had no trouble pumping enough to leave with my son for the entire length of the trip, but also took it with me and pumped the whole time I was gone to keep up my milk supply. Yes, every now and then the valve gets stuck and you have to tap the bottle to get it to release the milk- but it is usually because I just washed it and it dried shut, so if you remember to pull it open before you start you'll have no problems. It's compact enough to take anywhere, you can use it as a single or double pump, it hooks up to power or can be used on batteries. I'm not sure exactly what people are expecting for a dual breast pump that only costs $50, but for me it is worth a little hassel every now and then, it's not a $300 Medela! I could see if you had problems like low supply that it might not be the greatest, but I would suggest that if you have trouble using this pump you probably would with any pump, also just like any pump or breastfeeding in general it does take a little getting used to, and is a little painful at first. Nevertheless, I would HIGHLY recommend this pump, infact I'm buying another one for a friend who is expecting!
Great as a backup pump May 19, 2008 I own an Avent Duo Isis which I keep at work. I bought this because I forgot to bring my Avent home and really needed to pump since my baby missed a feeding. I didnt want to go out and spend another few hundred dollars for a 2nd pump.
I now keep it at home instead of having to lug my Avent back and forth. I used it about 5-8 times a week; usually for when baby misses a feeding at night or during the weekends.
This is great because it has the battery operated option. It extracts as much milk as the Avent in the same amount of time. It is definitely more compact to pack for business trips.
Cons are the loudness of the motor and the side without the battery definitely has a lower suction so you need to switch sides.
If you already have a primary pump, this is a good inexpensive backup pump that works very well.
