The more you know

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before I begin, I received a gift card for my honest review on this product. I’ve got mixed emotions when it comes to the pump, some of which is no fault of the pump though. 1. I wish I knew there were some options that connect via Bluetooth to the Medela app, that would have been amazing to take advantage of, but using the app manually to track my pump sessions is great too. 2. Sometimes it works better than others, resulting in more milk or less milk and more pain or less pain. 3. I recently bought extra accessories and they don’t work, can’t get suction, very disappointing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted to splurge a little for my second child and it was so worth it! Easy to use! Works well! And I can tell a difference! When I am at home I use my old pump and it does not work as well! I will never go back! “I received a gift card for my honest review on this product.”

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a gift card for my honest review on this product. This pump is small, lightweight, and works well. It is easy to transport in the included tote. The pump is very user friendly for first time moms like myself. I definitely recommend this pump!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this pump right before my daughter was born and used it for over a year while working. The pump held up great and I never noticed a change in suction and quality. The pump held up great! And worked great while using! I received a gift card for my honest review on this product.

Simple to use

Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This pump is simple to use- I like that it is easy to take out of the bag and you can carry it around without the bag. It also has great suction.
Dislikes- needs more flange accessories- comes with 21,24. It would be nice it if came with a flange in all size so you can try before ordering a bunch in wrong size. Ie 27
Also slightly noisier compared to my previous medela pump.

Great portable pump!
on May 23, 2022
Posted by: Clouie27
from Anaheim, CA
Gender:Female
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this pump through my insurance.
It’s pretty lightweight but great!
It emptied my breast quite efficiently. The only thing is probably because of its size, there’s nowhere that indicates the level of suction. Other than that, I have no complaint.
I love how I can use it on the go as well with the battery.
I never use other pump, but it looks like this pump has fewer parts than most pumps out there which is great.

Good pump, but not as strong as I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do really like this pump, I needed something that I could travel with as we are military and PCSing soon and I needed to take it to work.
It definitely gets the job done and it’s fairly quiet!
It definitely gets the job done and it’s fairly quiet!
It took me a little while to get used to the massaging feature at the beginning. I would dread pumping because the sensation bothered me so much. However, it got better with time and now I’m adjusted.
Second issue I ran into is that I always have to check to ensure the connectors are shut correctly over the membrane, it’s not exactly guaranteed that just because it closes, it’s correct. I ended up leaking all over myself one day because everything appeared correct, but there was the tiniest gap and so the milk did not go where it needed to go. So double check that before pumping!
I will also say the battery pack for this pump runs out quickly. I’ve gone through SO many batteries which is a bummer. I’ve now resorted to taking both the battery pack and wall plug just in case. It makes it tough to find pumping areas because I have to find one with a plug available, but better safe than sorry!
Final gripe is that the travel bag is TINY. You really are expected to only fit the pump itself and the provided cooler bag. I ended up having to find an upgraded travel bag in order to be able to carry my parts, flanges, water, and basic supplies like nipple balm, sanitizer wipes/washing supplies, and lids and stuff for bottles.
It’s not ideal when I work 8-10 hour days and need to take everything with me or even just for pumping parents who like to have everything they might need. Wish they had thought about that.

I almost forgot to mention that you can’t buy the yellow membranes separate, so when you need to replace them you WILL have to buy entire connector sets. Luckily you can find them at target, so I was able to pick them up same day.
Hope this helps someone looking!

Easy to use and I am a first time mom
on May 23, 2022
Posted by: Kape
from Clearwater Florida
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a first time mom and found that this pump has been easy to use. It was recommended to me by other moms that I know and I found it easy to set up and get pumping right away. There was great tips on the website of how to use it as well and pumping has been a breeze.
I was worried it may be painful or difficult but it was none of those. I mainly breastfeed but when I do pump I can get several ounces out in a few min and get back to my day.
