Amazing!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I thought my other name brand pump was THE best thing since sliced bread but I was wrong. I received this pump through stellar reviewers to try out and give my honest opinion and I am so happy I was given the opportunity. At first glance it didn’t really seem like anything new. The pump itself is small but still solid. The flanges however are flexible and very comfortable. The primer seemed pointless the first time I used it since no milk was coming out but then it slowly clicked onto long compressions like baby does when nursing and you know they are gulping it up and the bottle was filling up quicker than any pump I’ve ever used. It did take me a few uses to really make this pump work to my advantage but now that I do I am running out of room in my freezer to store milk!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great for average chest

I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.
I really enjoyed testing out this product. I was used to using my old Medela pump in style which was working fine, but this pumped like a dream. I felt that I was able to pump more milk in a shorter amount of time, which as we all know, is precious.
I found the bag it came with to be MUCH larger than I anticipated, which was a pleasant surprise! I can fit my pump, parts, and my pumped milk bottles in there.
I appreciated the change in the flange shape, which are oval. This took a bit of getting used to. I am a larger chested woman, and I was wishing this came with an even larger flange. It works fine, but I have to be really careful and intentional when I put the flange to my breast. Also, make sure the oval is vertical, not sitting horizontally on your breast. I felt I wasn't getting the best suction and quickly realized my mistake.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this product to any nursing mamas with average-to-larger chests.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good travel pump

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I like the most about this pump is the accessories. I absolutely I absolutely love the little carrying cooler. It is so much more manageable at work. I also love the carrying case/purse for the whole pump. It made it super easy for me to keep it at work while I kept another pump at home. I wish Medela’s pumps had a little stronger suction/seal. I also wish this particular pump had a timer, because for as nice as it is, you still have to manually time your pumping. I received this from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for an honest review.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A big step up from the original pump in style
on September 5, 2020
Posted by: Tara s
from Pembroke Pines, fl
I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I used the original pump in style advanced for the first 6 months post partum and had decent results. Once I switched to the max flow, my output increased by at least 0.5-1 ounce per pump (I am a just enougher). I really liked the suction and longer pull of this pump, I feel it helps empty more efficiently. Also, the vibration of the pump helps with letdown and expression. The flanges are much more comfortable and the parts are much easier to clean. The one negative, which isn’t that big of a deal, is the letdown mode is only 1 minute and it usually takes me closer to 2 minutes for a letdown. It is easy to just press the button to to back into stimulation mode. I like that the pump automatically shuts off after 30 minutes also. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy this pump and would highly recommend it.

Wish I had this the first time around!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I am so grateful they gave me the opportunity to try it out, I love it! Set up was easy, and I found it to be more comfortable than other pumps I have tried, both with my first baby, and now with my second. I really appreciate how compact and lightweight it is and the carrying bag it came with. Even though I’m not out and about as much as I was pre-COVID it is so nice for when I’m out working and baby is home. I think I had better expression with this pump as well, it didn’t seem to take as long to finish pumping (of course, that could also be that I’m several months into breastfeeding now. But overall, it seemed faster.) If I have any complaints, some of the components are a little tricky to clean thoroughly. I’m a relaxed second time mama, but bacteria is still a thing. All in all, this is my favorite pump almost three years into motherhood! Anything to make my life easier is a win!

Great flanges

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this pump as part of the Stellar product testing panel and I am so grateful I did!!
My son was born via emergency c-section and was in the nicu for four days. In that time I used the hospital pump. Honestly, the pump in style works better than the hospital pump and the flex flanges are amazing! Not only does this pump pack a punch it’s so light and portable. The battery pack is great for when you are out and about. The only thing that would make this pump better would be longer hoses.

Great Pump!

The Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow is great! It's super small and compact which makes transporting it easy, and there's only one tube to have to mess with. The silicon flanges are more comfortable than the traditional plastic ones as well. The option to use a battery pack opens up so many more options for pumping places, which is a relief! It works well too; i have a slacker side that struggles to respond to pumps and i'm able to get a descent amount from it! I would very much recommend.

I received this breast pump from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I like it because it has been so easy to take on the go, it’s super light weight, and very quiet! I have very easily been able to take it with me in the car and continue to successfully pump and keep up with my busy life. I also really liked the bag it came with to carry all my breast pump needs in. I would recommend this pump to any Mom who is in need of a breast
pump. It works great!
