I rented a hospital grade pump after my son was born. I wish I would have spent a fraction of the $350.00 I paid for the rental and bought this pump instead. I love this pump. The battery power option is VERY convenient. The rubber cups are very comfy. I get more milk using this pump than the hospital grade. And it is faster. Worth the extra $$.

We received it sooner than the estimated shipping date. We use it regularly and have had NO problems. It works perfectly! It especially saves much more time having two pumps. My favorite part was that it was $80 cheaper than any in-store price we saw!

So supposedly this is "THE" pump to have but I have a lot of issues with it. I have to work and pump so I wanted to buy the BEST one I could and was willing to spend the $$ because I intended to use it for as close to a year as possible. These are the things I hate: -After about 5 to 10 minutes I have to switch it to a single pump because it's too weak even on the highest suction and I need to do a LOT of manual kneading and massage. I have to switch breasts every minute to get anything out. -It's messy and drips and leaks - I (maybe stupidly) didn't notice the mesh sides for a long time and I can not tell you how many times I put one of the bottles down for a second only to have it drop on the floor because of the tubing and spill and loss milk. - Milk leaks from the holes on the top so if you ever are tilting the bottles (which seems to happen all the time) you get milk on you! - The button you have to hit to switch "gears" is situated so you have to remove one of the pumps and reach it and that can be difficult and messy too - the soft part of the cup has formed into grooves on mine that collect milk and if you are not very, very careful, can spill all over you, making a mess and wasting precious milk what else? -The pump is extremely bulky and heavy. The bag doesn't close. I had hoped to bring it back and forth between work and home but I work in the city and take the train and it is way too cumbersome for that. - The plastic "clean service" is slightly curved (not flat) and that makes it useless because the bottles fall off of it if I try to use it, making a mess and wasting milk! Overall I gave it 2 stars because it is better than nothing. - I have a manual pump and I can get a better flow with that one - There is only on dial for speed/strength and that makes it limited in adjustibilty for different needs -I dislike this one so much I might just buy a different brand or look into renting!!
