The BEST!!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump is the best pump that I have ever tried! This is my third child and my 4th pump and this pump gets more milk for me than any other pump. I’m done in less time too. It’s just the best.
The bread shields are genius with the silicone/rubber edges so they don’t dig into your breasts when extracting milk.
The larger parts to the pump are so much better than than smaller ones which make it so hard to clean. The larger parts make clean-up so much quicker and you know you aren’t leaving anything behind because you aren’t trying to get into tiny crevices.
The pump is nice to leave out too. I don’t put it away (even if we are having company over). It’s not man eyesore, which i never thought would matter to me, but after having this one it does!
I highly recommend this pump. I can’t say enough good things about it. But it really does work better than any other pump that I have ever used. A HUGE thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this pump to try out!!!!

A must have!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this pump! Not only did I pump more milk with this pump but my breast didn’t feel so sore because I didn’t have to turn it up to maximum power to achieve doing so. My nipples thank you! One of the features that I really appreciated was the pre-programming. During the night when I’m a zombie I don’t have to fiddle with any other buttons after I hit power really. It took a few try to find my perfect setting but once I did, it was awesome. Part wise it’s not the worst but because I’m a frequent pumper I like to have another set of backup parts and I couldn’t easily find them in stores unfortunately but cleaning was a breeze with the wide neck opening on the flanges and bottles. Overall though, my absolute favorite feature was how quiet this pump is! I pump at work in an office right next to the main break room and in the past felt self conscious about the noise my old pump made. But with how little this is to travel with and how quiet it operates- it’s almost like an invisible cloak and I love it! Best choice for first time moms trying to get adjusted to parent life. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for letting my try this product!

Great Portability, Nice Medela PISA Improvements
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: LuluMay
from New York
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited to see that Medela came out with a new pump that seemed to incorporate a lot of improvements I wished for from my previous Pump In Style Advanced, and I was even more thrilled to try it out for myself! For me, the biggest pros of this pump are portability and the fact that it’s a lot easier to clean (and fewer parts to lose). The motor itself is quite compact and all your pumping essentials easily fit into the included storage/carrying bag. It was super easy to pack this up for a couple quick road trips and I love that it didn’t consume a ton of space. The parts have been “consolidated” a bit compared to the older PISA, so there’s no tangling with the tubing, and everything is much easier to clean. As for pumping effectiveness/efficiency, I found it to be slightly better than my older PISA in terms of pumping time, but milk output is about the same. The pre-programmed settings can be a nice feature, though I’m usually tinkering around so much with mine while I pump anyways that I didn’t find that to be a must-have. Overall, I love how easy it is to pack up and take with me, LOVE that it comes with the essential on-the-go accessories (cooler, etc.) and am so happy to not be spending as much time cleaning it!! (I also found the softer rims on the flanges to be a nice, more comfortable step up from the classic plastic flanges!) Thanks so much to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing this pump to me to review! It has become my new go-to pump!

Plug and Play Pump
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: Israfel52
from TX
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This double electric breast pump is very compact and portable, in fact, the pump was one of the smallest I’ve used. So my pros for this pump would be portability, ease of use, and overall discretion. Because of its compact nature, I found this pump to be very easy to pack up for on the go use, and it was fairly quiet. This was a plug and play pump, in that all you need to do is plug it in and turn it on. No messing with settings were necessary. Very simple and worked well out of the gate.
As for the cons, my biggest issue was the sizing on the breast shields. Their sizes were significantly smaller than other pumps I’ve used and as a result, I experienced nipple irritation and soreness. I tried using a lubricant specifically for pumping, but I still couldn’t stand to use this pump for longer than 8-10 min at a time. I also found the cups of the shields to be very shallow, which caused issues with latch. I like to pump one breast while my baby feeds on the other. That was almost impossible with this pump due to the extreme melt shallow cup. Anytime I would lean in any direction, even slightly, or when my baby would stretch her foot and tap the bottle, my latch would be lost immediately. This led to leaking and frustration.
I will say, that despite these issues, I was able to pump a good amount of milk, so I have no problem with the suction or settings. This pump is definitely an overall decent pump - albeit, no app for tracking expression or altering settings, which in this day and age is a bit disappointing. My main issue was with the breast shields.
I received the product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, however all opinions expressed are my own.

Excited to Pump!
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: Cami
I am using the new Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow for my second child. I thought it was very easy to use and had all the supplies you would need to pump at home and for work. A plus is this came with a cute carrying bag as well as a separate battery pack if you are on the go (which is amazing). The pump was great at emptying me and helping me to establish my supply before I return to work. The preprogrammed settings were user friendly. The cushion around the flanges made pumping comfortable and the parts are easy to clean. The pump is light weight and compact and it was enjoyable to pump because of how easy everything was to use. I love that all the items can fit nicely in the bag. The pump is effective and it’s obvious why this company is a consistent go to for many moms! I was fortunate to be able to test the Medela Pump in Style Max Flow as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Great new addition from a trusted brand

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Medela Pump in Style Advanced (PISA) with my first child 6 years ago. It was a reliable pump and one of the most recommended pumps when I was researching options then. I considered using the PISA again when my second child was born recently, but I was also hoping for something a little more updated. Well, the new Pump in Style with Max Flow delivers! I was excited to try out the new features of MaxFlow micro-vibrations, the closed system, the pre-programmed settings, and sleek design and accessories. This pump is definitely a nice updated upgrade from the PISA (which is still great), but it was nice to have this new option from a brand I trust.

Better Than Before!
on September 8, 2020
Posted by: Reanderson96
from Yorktown, VA
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump is much MUCH quieter than the previous pump I used. It’s not super bulky like the other either. Output is about the same it doesn’t do more but it definitely is more comfortable, less bulky, and is much quieter which deserves 5 stars in my book. I received this product free in exchange for my honest feedback from Stellar Product Testing Panel!

Great for pumping on the go

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this breast pump. Upon opening I was amazed at all the accessories it came with. It’s easy to use and easy to clean it comes with oval breast shields which was more comfortable for me to use. I did not notice more milk but I still feel it’s a great pump With different suction levels. It saves me time by being able to use both at the same time and like that I can use it at home or on the go. When on the go I can put the breast pump and its accessories in the stylish bag it came with. Once done pumping I can store up to four bottles in the cooler bag with the ice pack and store it in the bag and no one would ever guess my pump is in there. This comes with four bottles with lids I would have preferred for the nipples to be included as well.
