Amazing product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the freestyle pump as part of the stellar parent panel and I have nothing but great things to say about it! I loved the size and portability of it! Being able to charge it by USB was great because I could charge it at my desk between sessions. Battery life was fantastic! With this pump, I was able to walk about my house, folding laundry/moving it through, picking up toys and other activities because I wasn’t stuck next to a plug in. I would definitely recommend this pump to other pumping mammas!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best pump I've ever had

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really don't know where to begin with this Medela other than it is a completely amazing game changer. I I'm going to start out with how easy it was to get started with it. After looking at the instructions in sanitizing all my parts, it was very easy to put together, and charge for the first time. it has a decent amount of settings where I had no issues finding the right settings for me. It was very easy to wear and fit with my pumping bra with no issue. I was able to stick it in my jean pocket or if I was wearing leggings I put it in the back of my pants and it was very comfortable. the machine itself was it super silent but it was more silent compared to other pumps I've had. I was able to securely wear it and get my normal amount of milk out when using this pump. Now let me go into the exciting part. I was not tied down to a chair or my bedroom with this pump. I had complete freedom to Chase my eighteen-month-old around while pumping milk. I was also able to clean my house, cook dinner, and even drive. The USB charging addition was great, for when I was in my car, or if I was in the kitchen cooking and I got done pumping before I was done cooking I can just plug the pump up to the USB port I have in my kitchen and charge it for my next pump. I I truly believe this is the pump of the year and every mom should have it. I received this product for free for a honest review from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Fabulous Freestyle Flex

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a part of the Stellar product testing panel, I was super lucky to receive and test out the new FreeStyle Flex Pump! Being an on the go mother working two jobs and momming on top of that, this pump is so convenient to pack up and go! I think that’s what I appreciated about it most compared to my older more bulky pump. I immediately ditched the old when I received the Flex in the mail!
I appreciated the USB power adapter because sometimes mama needs a break not in the break room, and I was able to take my lunch,sit in the car, listen to a podcast, charge my flex and pump all at the same time! Sitting in a bathroom trying to pump that liquid gold for my mini human is the least entertaining part of the day, so I’m happy to say the size and ease of use made my days, as of receiving my freestyle flex pump so much more relaxing, mobile, and painless.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great portable pump, highly recommended

I am a stay at home mom with two toddlers and a newborn. I planned to pump to have a freezer stash and also donate my milk. I didn't think I needed a battery operated pump because I will spend most of my time at home with access to a eletrical plug. However I quickly discovered that it limited me to where I can pump and also my set up wasn't great so it was hard to pump and nurse my baby at the same time. When I received my Freestyle Flex Pump, thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I saw what a game changer it was to my daily routine of pumping and nursing. I was no longer tied to one spot in my livingroom or bedroom, I can pump anywhere! This is my first time using a battery operated pump and I will recommend it for anyone looking for a pump but do not like pumping in one spot. One of the thing I really enjoy about this pump is how quiet it is. I can pump and nurse my baby and it won't wake her up having the machine right next to us. I also like that there are not a lot of pump parts compare to other pumps on the market. All busy mothers will appreciate this, less parts means less things to clean. The pump is incredibly compact and easy to travel with I love the black tote that came with my pump but I find I don't need the whole bag. I found that my pump including parts fits right in a large wet bag. I'm able to throw it in my regular purse or diaper bag and go. I never could've done that with my other pump. I also really like that it can be charged via USB. It allows for more charging options. The only improvement I can see is where the connector sets are, it is easy for a leakage to happen if tilted back, this can be prevented if it is completely enclosed. Overall I think this pump is a great investment for pumping mothers. It is easy to use and easy to clean. It is light weight so traveling with it is not difficult. I will recommend this pump to any pumping mother.

Ultra portable. Great for working/traveling moms

I received this pump from the Stellar panel to test and review. I think it's a great product especially for those who exclusively pump and for mother's returning to work after having a baby. I loved the ease with which I could use the pump and most importantly charge it! It was also much easier to carry and use during travel than any other regular/traditional pump. I do think suction/power could be better but it's definitely a pump that is best for those who travel often and need hands-free pumping.

Portable, quiet, effective!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am currently breastfeeding my third baby. This is the fourth pump I have used through my three children and it is by far my favorite. If only I would have had this pump 5 years ago with my first child! Most importantly I am so grateful to have receive this pump now from the Stellar Product Testing Program when my day’s are more chaotic than ever. The size of the pump and the portability are the most beneficial aspect of the pump. I don’t often have much down time to sit and pump without chasing after one of my older two children, so the fact that i am able to easily carry this pump around with me, with one hand at that, is key! It can even fit into a pocket making it completely hands free. Believe it or not i have even cleaned the house while pumping! It is so convenient to take on the go, even in the car. The pump comes with a sleek bag that fits all of the necessary pieces, including a cooler, again, making on the go pumping incredibly easy. I previously had another cordless pump, however, the size didn’t make it nearly as convenient or easy. I find that I am able to get several pumping sessions in between battery charges also.
Aside from the ease of pumping with the Freestyle Flex Pump, the most important aspect to any pump for me is how much milk I am able to produce, as well as, being able to maintain and increase my volume. I found this pump to be very fast and efficient and I have been very pleased with the amount of milk I am producing using this pump.
I highly recommend the Freestyle Flex Pump and I am so thankful that I have finally found such a wonderful pump! Couldn’t have been better timing with my third baby under 5!

Hi Rebeccajord--- We are thrilled to hear how much you have enjoyed the Freestyle Flex Breast Pump! Life does not stop just because you need to pump so it is important that you don't have to either. We are so happy that you were able to still tend to your other kiddos while also pumping and getting things done around the house. Thank you so much for sharing your story and we wish you all the best on this wonderful journey. Enjoy!

Great new features!!
on December 10, 2019
Posted by: Agollie
from Charleston, WV
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Over the last seven years of my nursing journey (extended breastfeed until two and currently nursing perhaps my last little nursling), I have used several different Medela pumps. As with everything related to nursing no two mom's or babies are exactly the same, and I have found that I achieve maximum output when I am able to adjust both the let down and expression settings. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel I was able to try the Freestyle Flex Pump and it did not disappoint. I feel I was able to spend less time at the pump after playing around with the settings. It is super user friendly, easy to travel with thanks to the long charge the lithium batteries hold, USB charging cable and the new slim design, the corresponding app is great to track your progress via Bluetooth, I love the lighted design to see at night and the touchscreen is a nice touch, the new shorter tubing is wonderful, and I love the comfort added to the flanges. As for handsfree, I personally still have to hold the bottles while pumping. I am fairly busty and the handsfree bra just doesn't work for me. It may for someone else though. The motor is fairly loud so this wouldn't be an option for discreet pumping. I can easily fit this in my satchel purse along with the accessories if needed; I could fit the motor in my crossbody easily but not the bottles and other accessories. Overall, I would recommend this pump for new mom's.
