Pump in comfort!

I was given this breast pump to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
When I arrived home with my newborn son I hadn't expected to need to express milk or bottle feed right away, but latching difficulties mixed with his rapid weight loss made it necessary. Thankfully, I had the pump in style with max flow from medela waiting for me! The first thing I noticed was how small and simple this pump looked, it takes up very little space making it easy to toss in the diaper bag for on the go. The second thing is the shape of the breast shields, they are oval with a soft silicone rim. These shields are not only more comfortable, but seem to be the secret to expressing milk more efficiently. This pump also comes with a battery pack, freeing you from having to find an outlet. It's also a breeze to clean, no more tiny parts that get lost when you take it apart to wash! In short, this pump made a huge difference for me, it's more comfortable, easier to pack, and allows me to express milk more efficiently. I would definitely recommend for anyone who will need to pump multiple times a day!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to try the new Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow, in return for an honest review. Upon opening this dual electric breast pump I was impressed. The pump comes with a high quality carrying case, ice packs, and four bottles. The pump is light weight, made with exceptional quality and has improved tubing for a flawless operation. The comfort of the flanges make this breast pump award winning in my opinion. I was able to express an ounce more milk for my 9 month old due to the comfort and effectiveness. I am highly impressed how easy it is to clean. The Pump in Style with Max Flow is quiet and powerful. This product makes pumping on the go so easy and fashionable. Thanks again Stellar Product Testing Panel for this wonderful product. I highly recommend it to pumping moms and this will be a great registry item for new moms.

Great compact pump

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very impressed with this pump! It is easy to clean and assemble and I appreciate the straightforward parts. There are no small valves or small membranes involved, which is nice for cleaning and assembly. It comes with a nice bag that can hold everything you need, although I wish it had more pockets, as well as a great bottle cooler. The small pump size and simple controls are great. It is great for someone pumping on the go! Very portable. I especially like that it switches modes for you automatically after 1 minute (stimulation to the expression). It is nice in case you forget to switch modes while pumping and working. It is fairly quiet as well. I just wish it had a timer or stopwatch so that you wouldn’t need to watch the clock in a separate device. I was able to express a great amount of milk comfortably! This is a great, powerful pump in a small size! I was able to try this as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

My breastfeeding sidekick!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Like every mom I wanted to be able to successfully breast-feed my new baby and with that also have saved breastmilk for any emergencies away from baby or for when the time came for a Baby to be left with the caregiver. I had my baby and quickly discovered that not all pumps are created equally. After receiving my new pump from a Medela I quickly open the box and Sanitize everything and set it up. Set up took me a few seconds and even without having to read the manual everything was self-explanatory. My first impressions of the pump or how small the pump was and how modern everything looked. Using the pump was very new experience seeing it has a very efficient stimulation mode. You can quickly adjust suction on both stimulation mode and expression mode. And you can use it as a single or a double pump. The pump is quiet and I was able to successfully pump from each side a great amount of breastmilk. The settings on the pump are already programmed but I found that easier to use while fumbling with a new baby. The flanges are absolutely wonderful to use and easy on the breast. Taking the pump apart was fast and super easy and I felt like I could clean and sanitize a lot easier than with my other pumps. By far my favorite feature of the Pump in Style Max Flow is the micro vibrations to help your let downs! They mimic baby SO Well! I would definitely recommend this pump to any new mom looking to build a freezer stash. Not to mention they also included a wonderful starter pack with bottles, bottle holder, diaper bag and also a cooler to keep milk cool while on the go. I thank the Stellar Product Testing Panel For providing me with this wonderful breast pump.

Easy to transport and set up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump is among my list of favorites for the portability or it, how easy it is to use and set up, and that it's insanely quiet. It might be one of the quietest I have ever used. I was shocked by the Medela because with my oldest, I had an older style one and vowed it off. I had a bad experience with that one. So I was a tad bit wary of it. The first time I used this, I grabbed it to take to work with me and forgot the manual! Thankfully, the pieces are all very telling of where they fit together. I didn't realize that the let down feature goes everytime and before the actual pump settings. So at first I thought that I turned it on wrong. It took a bit to realize that was what it was doing. I am not a fan of the buttons, only because I didn't read the manual first and was trying to figure them out off hand. I also am not a fan of the lack of a screen. I love having a screen and a timer cause I do times pumps at work on my breaks. The bag it came with is so cute. And it's roomy! I switched to it permanently from my former pump bag because it is cuter and easier to carrying around and still roomy! The pump flanges themselves were interesting. I love this design. Even though they're a bit bulkier than I am used to, they come apart so easy, there's not small valves to lose, they are big pieces so easier to clean and they go back together so easy! I am so happy for the opportunity to test this pump out through the Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Expressed More than Usual!
on September 6, 2020

I am very impressed with this pump! First of the simple sleek design is great. It's quieter than other brands, comes with a cooler bag with ice pack designed to keep bottles in place and cold.It also comes with a tote to carry all of my breastfeeding and baby supplies. I normally can only get about 5 ounces of milk on one side. lately I have been expressing 3 whole ounces more with this pump! The pieces are easy to clean and don't have a lot of parts which is great because I don't have time to wash a lot of tiny parts and try to keep up with them. I love this product that I received through Stellar Product Testing Panel to review.

Best breast pump I’ve ever used!
on September 6, 2020
Posted by: Neochiq
from Clermont, Fl
First of all I would like to thank the Stellar Panel for giving me the opportunity to try this pump free of charge in exchange for my honest review. Below is my experience with the pump.
The Pump in Style with Max Flow is by far the most comfortable, most discreet, quietest, and sleek pump I’ve ever used. Not only is it small and light, but it easily fits in my diaper bag with room to spare.
One of my favorite features is the battery pack! Yes I said battery pack! It is an amazing feature for on the go moms. No lengthy cord to trip over at work. No more searching for an outlet when you’re engorged!
My second favorite feature is how comfortable the flanges are. They have a comfort strip around the edge instead of sharp plastic that leaves a mark or cuts in to the breast.
The buttons and instructions are a breeze. I love the micro vibrations that it starts with because it mimics the tiny sucks that a baby does at the beginning of a nursing session. I found that it stimulated my letdown much faster than a typical slower suction pump. There’s obviously a letdown button for when your milk begins to flow and it’s easy to switch between functions and levels of suction.
The pump is easy to clean and put together/take apart. I love the big valves as opposed to small ones because small ones drop or get lost easily.
My breasts are enormous. They are a 38H while breastfeeding. I’ve always had trouble with pumping because flanges never fit my areola. This pump? Easily fits over my areola and I was able to comfortably squeeze my breast to adapt to the flange (as I do when I feed my baby). Typically a mother with smaller breasts won’t have to do that extra step but I wanted to mention it for the bigger chested moms.
As far as the efficiency- this by far pumped more milk out of my breasts than any other pump I’ve ever tried. I tried pumping with my son 8 years ago and never could. Now? Gosh I’m so glad I can build up a freezer stash with this pump!
If I could change one thing it would be that it came with all size flanges instead of just two. But that’s most breast pumps- they come with the typical sizes.
All in all this is a pump I would recommend to anyone who likes a small, convenient, and efficient pump.
I would recommend this to a friend!

A contender

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I give this pump 8/10 overall. I really love that it comes with everything you need to hit the ground running in your pumping journey. The fact that it comes with a tote, extra milk storage bottles, a cooler and ice pack, two size flanges, and a battery pack adapter is huge. These things can cost a lot extra with other pumps. I like that this pump uses a closed system, so you don’t have to worry about milk going through the tubing and having to clean them. The size is great, it’s shorter in length and height than a water bottle and super portable. This is not the quietest pump I’ve ever used, but it’s also not the loudest. The part I like best about this pump is the membrane design. They are so easy to take out and clean and you can make sure they are completely clean vs. having a duckbill valve like other pumps have. All in all a great pump and definitely a contender worth consideration. Thank you to Stellar Parent Panel for providing me with this pump!
