single electric pump rec?

[patronus]

hi guys, i have the medela pump in style that i use every day for work. at home, i pump on one side while dd nurses on the other side.

it suddenly occurred to me that if i had a single pump at home i could leave my double pump at work (i hate lugging it to & from work every day!)

because this is a pump i would buy just for the convenience of not taking the PIS to & from work, i don't really want to spend more than around $75.

can you ladies recommend a single pump that will be as effective/powerful as the PIS?

or should i just invest in a pack mule to get me, dd, her bottled milk, my purse, my lunch and the pump from home to childcare to work to childcare and back to home every day?

I started leaving my PIS at work for this very reason. I have the medela harmony for home, car and backup. I love it! After using the electric PIS, I didn't think a manual would do much for me, but the harmony is really great. Comfy and effective at getting the milk out.
