It was Okay!

I received this pump from Stellar Product Testing Panel for my honest review and feedback.
I enjoyed the compact size of this pump and thought that it was super easy to carry from my office to my pumping area. I also felt that the flanges were great and comfortable. I liked that they had flexible pieces around the edges, so it felt like it was cupping my breast. I also thought the pump was not loud or noisy that others could hear it behind a closed door. That was a relief. The tubing was long enough and the electrical cord was a good length. The parts weren't tiny so it wasn't difficult to clean and take apart all the pieces.
Now some of the things that I didn't like about this pump. I didn't like that I couldn't hand express my breast while using this pump. Anytime I've tried I felt like it broke the suction or made it less effective on pumping. I typically do this to help express more milk and felt like I couldn't do that with this pump. I also wish that this pump had a timer so I could know how long I was pumping at that session. The pump had bulky parts that made it difficult to store in the small storage bag.
Overall, the pump did the job but I don't think it was the best for me.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A great, easy to use breast pump!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am nursing and pumping for the second time. I love the pump in style with max flow. It is a simple and easy pump to use, which was one of my favorite things with my older pump in style. The pump it’s self is a great size and comes with everything you need for pumping and more. The flanges are definitely an upgrade. They fit great and felt like they stayed in place better than the older all plastic style. The PIS Max Flow is also easy to take on the go considering the compact and light weight design, however I do wish it had a internal chargeable battery which would be amazing especially considering the size and tote ability of the pump. I felt the pump did a great job expressing milk and the cleaning of the pump pieces after use was easy. I love that the system is closed preventing any milk getting into the tubing much more hygienic.
An added bonus is the ability to connect Dr. Brown bottles if you happen to express more than 5oz at a time. I received the Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow through the Stellar Product Testing Panel to try in exchange for my honest review and I would definitely recommend this breast pump to any of my mama friends. You can’t go wrong with the Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow!

Game changer

The pump in style with max flow is such a game changer for me. This is my third child and third time pumping and I am extremely thrilled and delighted with this pump. By the time I pick my mouth up from astonishment from how awesome and efficient the pump is I’m done pumping. I used the preset settings and the bigger of the two flange sizes included with the pump. I also love the battery operated adapter ( takes 8 AA) when pumping at work or away from home. This set includes a carrying case for bottles and an ice pack. I also use the included carry all bag (which is way smaller than my purse and diaper bag) for the supplies. As far as efficiency, this baby has lots of power with way less noise than my old pump. I also love the rubber around the flange which makes the suction and connection really comfortable. As I stated above, the power of this pump cuts my already quick pumping time by half. I think it’s safe to say I’m extremely happy. Did I also mention the size of the pump is so small it fits almost completely in one hand. It doesn’t take up much space at all so it can easily be left out for daily use or transported. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting me try this product.

Changing the pumping game!

This pump has it all! Easy to clean, lightweight, and crazy good efficiency! I noticed a significant increase in my expressed milk within the first two pumping sessions. The preprogrammed settings take all of the guess work out of pumping and made it easy to find one that worked best for me. Cleaning up after pumping was a breeze and I loved the simplicity of the components. Highly recommend! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for showing me what I was missing out on!

So quiet and comfortable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Pump In Style with MaxFlow breast pump as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I was very impressed with this pump. It's incredibly quiet while still having good suction. The flanges are also much more comfortable with their flexible rubber edges, and they're easy to disassemble and clean. I love that it has the battery pack option, though it seems to use the battery power quickly, so reusable batteries would be a must if using this option frequently. It's too bad there's no built-in rechargeable option. I did feel like it pumped better when plugged in than with the battery pack, but I haven't used the battery pack much to know for sure. I didn't really notice a significant increase in milk output with this pump as compared to other pumps I've used, but I pumped at least as much as usual and the comfort makes this pump worth it. I was also glad to see 21 mm flanges come standard, as I use this size and often have to special order it. The pumping bag and cooler are awesome additions to make pumping at work so much more doable, but the bag is a little small for everything I like to throw in my bag for pumping away from home. All in all, this is a quiet, comfortable, and effective pump that I've enjoyed using. The only feature I've missed about this pump is a screen with a timer and suction level - I usually just push the suction button until it feels like it's working well and use a separate clock to roughly gauge the amount of time I've been pumping.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback and tips with other parents! As you mentioned, we do recommend using reusable AA batteries in order to get the best performance from the battery pack. It will also help cut down on the amount of batteries you go through! If you ever have any questions, our team is available to help via chat on our website. Have a great day!

A Fantastic Pump!

Posted by: faithtowers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've thoroughly enjoyed my Pump in Style with Max Flow, in fact I haven't used my old pump since I received it! It's comfortable, easy to assemble, pumps efficiently and I love that it comes with a bag so you can store everything inside. Which makes great for travel too. Love that you can either plug it into the wall or use the battery pack. The pieces stay together nicely and the flanges are curved so they stay attached well. The only thing I don't love is that the milk can spill out easily if you tip them over by accident before switching to the bottle caps. But it's not an issue if you make sure to keep them vertical. Just FYI, I received the pump through the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review.

Efficient in more ways than one!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this pump I received through the Stellar Product Testing Panel! It is so sleek & modern looking, but that’s not the best part. It comes in an amazing tote with pockets for each piece & a unobtrusive style, but even THAT isn’t the best part! It is simply an excellent pump. Compared with other models, this one is faster & easier with an effective design that minimizes suction loss. One of the ways it does this is the rubber lining to the flange which allows it to seal against your breast once placed. I believe it has saved me so much trouble on rearranging because the seal has broken. It also has a unique split tubing design that funnels all the suction power through a single point & it clips easily in the middle for single side pumping without dividing the suction power. I have actually enjoyed pumping for my 3 month old with this pump & I’m so glad to have it!

Compact size

Posted by: Nudelz

I received the pump in style max flow from the stellar product testing panel. Having to go to work and pump is hard enough without the proper pump but this was easy. I like that it came with the battery back. It takes 8 AA batteries which is fine because I didn’t have to worry about the recharge. And a plug adapter.
I like that it is small and compact. Much better than my other two pumps. The functions are a standard function control that medela is known for.
It was extremely comfortable and I like that it came with two different sizes and with extra supplies. It’s still a bit loud but quiet enough not to wake a sleeping baby. I liked the bag that it came with too. Very compact. I would recommend this product most definitely.
