Love this pump but...

I bought this pump in January so excited to use it. I've always loved medela. After using this pump I lost suction on it. I've changed out parts/tube to dry to fix it no luck. It worked great when I bought it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not compatible with other medela connectors!
on September 5, 2021

I'm on my third medela pump. I picked the pump in style this time around. There should be a huge an obvious warning card that states it's not compatible with the older connectors. I would not have gotten this model had I known. I now have a drawer full of useless parts from my last two pumps, and unless I want to shell out more money, I have to wash the one set of connectors I have after every use, which is fine for at home but irritating to try to go anywhere! I'm also lucky that I immediately caught it when I was using an old connector and the milk started backing up into the tubing. It didn't reach the pump, and I was able to blow most of the moisture out, but now I'm constantly inspecting the tubing waiting for it to mold, unless I shell out more money again to get another set of tubing. So frustrating!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Annie A--- We apologize for any confusion. The breast pump is specifically designed for use with the PersonalFit Flex Connectors. For best results, it should only be used with those connectors. If you have any other questions or issues, our team is available to help via chat on our website or at 800-435-8316!

Didnt last long

FTM, I got this through my insurance and this pump was great in the beginning but didn’t last me 3 weeks. I exclusively pumped because my LO was having a latch issue. Thankfully I found a position that was comfortable for her to latch and I was able to nurse. The pump has lost most of its suction, takes me twice as long and it randomly shuts off. Now I’m out looking for a replacement
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Its easy to use but the suction is a lacking

I only had this option through insurance, it seems that one side suction is better than the other. I have an extremely premature baby amd will be pumping long term. I would not recommend this for full time pumpers.

Nice compact pump
on September 21, 2021
Posted by: socrmomof2+1
from Tulsa, OK
Gender:Female
I started using this pump a couple weeks after my daughter was born and have been using it for about 2 months now. I pump 1-3 times a day (and can easily get 5+oz per pumping session) as I work away from home and my baby stays home with dad and baby is exclusively breastfed. The parts are easy to clean, compact and intuitive to put together and take apart. The pump works efficiently and is quiet enough to use next to my sleeping baby.
I would recommend this to a friend!

It’s a nice pump when it works

Gender:Female
Only got to use the pump for about three weeks before it stopped getting all the milk out. It still works a little bit so I can still use it but there is always still milk left over that I have to use a different hand pump to get the rest out. It’s causing a lot of problems. I would probably buy some thing else
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great pump, wish they offered smaller sizes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a gift card for my honest review on this product.
I received my Pump in Style Maxflow back in June and couldn’t wait to start using it. My Son was born July 1st and I started pumping once we were home two days later.
I wish I could choose to stay in Stimulation mode longer without it automatically going into Expression. I wish it had personal customization options, but I get great output with this pump. It’s a little loud but not as loud as my Lansinoh I had 3 years ago. I like the portability of this pump with the battery option. I even found the 12v plug for my car.

My biggest downfall with all of Medela is the flange sizes though. I wish they offered smaller sizes. I started with 24mm and have worked my way down to a 17! Most women are smaller than a 24, so I’m not sure why Medela doesn’t offer those options. Plus they have made the flanges shorter…not good for elastic nipples! By the time I ended my session I was all they way to the inside of the connector…not good! Please fix this issue!
