Broke after 3 months

Definitely not as strong as the older versions, this model just gave up and quit after three months. As with other reviews I recommend you forego this pump in favor of one that might work. Very disappointing experience.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I prefer the older model. Much more efficient and I didn’t have to pump as long.

Not pleased

I got my pump through insurance just started used it a month ago. And from me using it multiple times a day the pump is already not working. It used to work great pulled milk out better than any other pump but now all it does is vibrate really loud and doesn’t pull anything out.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great pump for occasional pumping
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: LM2678
from Springfield, MO
Gender:Female
This is a great small, simple to use pump. The parts are easy to clean. I have not tried taking it out, but plan to use this at work. I do have to pump for 45 minutes to feel completely empty. The pump is loud and after using it for 45 minutes the pump motor sounds like it might break. I pump 5-6 times a day. I just ordered the Sonata and will use the PIS for travel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This pump does not work well. My breasts were still extremely full after pumping and barely got any milk.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Do not buy

I rarely give a review but I felt compelled to share my experience and prevent someone from making the same mistake I did.
I received this pump with my insurance. I loved my old medela pump in style advanced so I thought I’d love this one too. It does not compare to the old model at all! First, there is no dial like the old one so it is hard to tell how strong the suction is. Next, it is SO LOUD and it shakes really loud, third the suction is not as strong as the old one even at the max. Fourth- The suction is uneven and I get a bigger/ stronger output one side. I thought my model was defective so I contacted medela and the wonderful customer service gave me a new one. My second one does the same! So I got a third one, medela must not be this bad I thought. Well, it is, my third one does the same! I am very worried about my supply with the suction being so terrible. I get more of an output with my cheap hands free pump than this one. Do not get this new medela pump in style. You will regret it. I do because I can’t get a different pump now and have to spend money on a new one for when I go back to work so my supply doesn’t dip. This pump has caused me a great deal of stress about being able to feed my child. I would give it zero stars if I could. Do better Medela!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great!

The Medela Pump in Style with Max Flow is such a great little pump. I pump at least five times a day, so I need something strong and effective and this definitely does the job. The vibrations that the pump makes helps me get more let downs which means more milk. It's also very comfortable to use and doesn't painfully pull on my nipples like other pumps. I can even use it on the highest settings without feeling any pain. The accessories it comes with are great too. The pump bag is really great quality and can hold much more than just the pump, and the cooler is nice too. I was happy to see 21mm breast shields included, as I have smaller nipples and needed them. I love the design of the pump itself, it looks really sleek and clean. My only gripes with this pump is that I wish it was rechargeable, instead of having to use a battery pack to make it portable, and I also would have like a small digital display with a timer so I can track how long I have been pumping, instead of having to use my phone. All in all, I really do love and enjoy using this pump. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to try this pump.
I would recommend this to a friend!
