“ I would pump and pump and get nothing!! Seriously the worst pump ever. I actually brought it back to where I bought it and got a refund. Maybe it was a defect, but I think I spent what seemed to be a week doing nothing but trying to pump. I Would not buy or recommend this pump . Save yourself the time and fustration. ” --Nikkiboo3145
“ I get a lot more milk using this pump than either of the electric pumps (both Medela) I tried. I'm not sure if it's their special 'let down cushion' on the cup, or just that I can get more using a hand pump. So I love that about it. However, if you use this pump make sure it comes with the 'IQ valve', which looks like a plug, and NOT the flat, disc-shaped valve with an asterisk on it. That...” --P.J.
“ I love this pump. I used a hospital grade pump when my son was in the nicu and this pump really was made just for mamas like me. It is not the put on the pump and sit while you type awesome reviews on great websites kind of pump. My milk was hard to coerce out and this pump gave me the control I needed to do it as efficiently as I could. You have to control the suction with your...” --LLQ1011
“ I've used this pump through two babies and I just LOVE it! To be fair, it is the only electric I've ever used, but tried to use a manual pump beforehand and I never got more than 1 oz at a time, then tried the Ameda Purely Yours and I could get 4 oz or more. It's comfortable; I like how I can adjust the suction and speed. The only thing is I would like is there to be soft flanges and for it...” --KaliShanti
“ I previously posted about my Avent double electric pump I had used for 6 months 3-4 times a day while at work. I finally had enough of it and bought this to replace it. The system is great, easy to assemble and I love the internal battery. Not having to plug it in for every pumping session is extremely nice and the battery keeps charge for a longtime (I usually charge it...” --JennaRose
“ Bought this one because it was one of the few that will work on both 110 and 220 volts. I used it twice a day for 9 months and the parts don't fit together as nicely as they did at first. The gummi "Petal" cone really doesn't fit well anymore and sometimes affects the suction. Hoping it holds up for baby #2. Some nice words for Avent, though- while travelling I lost the inner valve and...” --danube
“ I get so little out of my manual pump that when my insurance told me they would cover a pump I got this one and its marvelous. I love its 3 suction settings, its easy to clean, replacement parts are easy to come by, it travels well and it's quiet! Really no complaints here! If you had to buy one out of pocket, well, i wouldn't be able to afford it! ” --matope
“ I got this pump because the price but you get what you pay for the suction is weak and it has not worked for me to say the least I have had to switch to a hand pump it you get this pump hope it works better for you good luck ” --Jennifer Willis
“ I rented this pump from the hospital when my baby was born at 33 weeks. I started pumping 20 minutes after he was born (vaginally) and I got 6 cc's of colostrum! I used this every 2-3 hours for 12 weeks and I have this machine to thank that 1) I even established a supply and 2) that my son was able to start breastfeeding. This machine was so efficient and effective for...” --LunaLady
The Manual Breastfeeding Companion by Simplisse is the only milk collection system that accurately imitates natural breastfeeding. This milk collection system does not extract milk with a suck-and-release action like traditional breast pumps.
