Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with Shoulder Bag

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!

For months I tried to use this pump. I would pump for an hour and a half at a time and only walk away with  5 ounces. It was a very discouraging. So I stopped pumping and got rid of this pump.

This breast pump kit is honestly my favorite thus far. I have had a few children and have been given a couple other pumps as baby shower gifts but none have compared to the Medela Pump! I really seemed to like this one a lot!

This is a great pump! I think it's really important to have a pump that you like and that works well... I spend more time with my pump than I do in my car, so I see it as that important of a decision. I also pump for two... some for my own little guy and extra for a friend's baby, so it's doubly important for me. This pump is reliable, strong and very easy to use. The accessories are great and all the pieces are very easy to assemble and disassemble for cleaning. I use the micro-steam clean bags and it is so much faster than traditional boiling sterilization. I do not imagine that I would have the patience or time for hand-expressing and this works fast for me. Plus, all the accessories and compatible bottles make the whole process very easy.

I used it my first month, fast and cool, loved it!! 

I actually bought mine used, used it for a year, then gave to a friend in need. And then ANOTHER friend gave me her old pump when she found out I was expecting again. That goes to show how durable these pumps are! I had a manual pump, but the pump in style is easier to use since I can just hold it on while I'm watching tv or reading. The pump has different settings and even a let-down mode; so, it's customizable to each mama. The pieces are easy to take apart, wash, and reassemble. The parts are also dishwasher safe if I'm not mistaken. If you are planning on pumping on a regular basis, I would recommend this pump for you.

While the bathroom was the only private place with a plug, I was able to provide my milk to my son even though I worked during the day.  I loved it.  The time it took to pump was my break during the day.

This pump got me through some road trips due to its convenient bag and battery versatility. I personally felt like the motor weakened considerably over just a short period of time. Although many of the reviewers at the time said that Medela was happy to replace the motor, it just seemed like way to much trouble - especially after paying such a high price.

I bought a PISA prior to returning to work with both kids. I pumped so often and for so long with my first (18m) I thought I should save it for home use, even through the pressure was fine when I checked it. It was handy to have a pump at home with no schlepping back and forth. I used the second one until she was 2.

Medela's website has several full time lactaction consultants that answer questions by email. They offered very good advice and even some humor.
