Reviews:
Pros: Affordable, compact, quiet, works great.
Cons: No carry case or auto pulse; motor could fit
more securely, small reservoir.
I needed an affordable yet functional electric pump. This pump was
perfect. It is compact, has suction level control, quiet, comes in a
cute color and easy to clean. It works great for occasional pumping.
An inconvenience with this pump is the requirement of the inner reservoir.
Without it, there isn't enough suction with the bottle alone. It holds
about half an ounce of milk, which would require more frequent emptying,
and you have to watch how much you're pumping and make sure it doesn't
overflow or you might damage the motor by getting milk into it.
The biggest issue for me is the affordability of this product. This
is definitely better than a manual pump both in functionality and price.
It does what it's supposed to do and doesn't cost an arm and a leg if
you're on a budget. It doesn't wake up the baby and you can fit it in
your purse. - Misha K.
Pros: Cheaper - especially in comparison to the medical
grade pumps.
Cons: Weaker suction than medical grade pumps.
I have been using this pump for about two weeks now. I started out
using a medical grade pump to help with the onset of my milk. Now that
I am back to work I needed an affordable alternative. - Chris Ann Smith
