I really like this pump, the different size flanges means that I get a great fit and get lots of milk off. It’s easy to use one handed while feeding my baby on the other side. It’s really easy to clean and very portable. - Strengths:

After using the hospital grade Medela pump, I had purchased this pretty quickly. It is so easy to use and clean. You can buy lots of additional accessories very easily on Amazon if needed such as different size nipple shields, double pump adapters and replacement parts. All the parts come apart easily and can be washed and sterilised easily. The pump has multiple strengths which you can use to aid you. It is quieter than other pumps I have used, and be flip feature is great for using with batteries and moving around whilst expressing! The only flaw is that sometimes milk can leak from the top of the bottle even when securely tightened. Great product would highly recommend - Strengths:

This pump was recommended to me by my health visitor. It is very good and practice. It works so quickly and you don’t have to wait ages like with the manual pumps. It was a lifesaver for me, especially at the beginning, when my baby was not able to attach herself to my right breast and I had to pump every 3-4 hours. I highly recommend it!!! - Strengths:

I started off using a manual pump but after using it daily i thought I needed to give my hand a break! This is a great pump, so simple and comfortable to use. It is a bit fiddly when trying to undo all the parts and sterilize. I did find it was a bit noisy compared to the manual pump but I'm not sure how it compares to other electric pumps. Although I only use it at home plugged in, it is useful that it works using batteries too for pumping on the go. - Strengths:

This electric pump is portable and can be used with batteries when away from electric plug sockets which is a great feature. The quality works the same with batteries or electricity.
It’s easy to use and keep clean.
It’s not very loud either.

This pump is brilliant but because it is not a closed loop system milk can contaminate the pump so you need to undo and check for mold etc and it's not recommend to sell on. Apart from this it was a great pump in terms of amount of milk I was able to express I expressed straight into the tommee tippee pump and go bags which then attach straight to bottle teat so no need to transfer. - Strengths:

With an established breastfeeding this pump does an amazing job, works efficiently and it's well worth the money. The only downside for me is that it could have come with a steriliser for an easier clean.

If it wasn’t for this pump I think I would have given up breastfeeding. Really helped me when my milk came in and was engorged. It made a very painful situation so much easier. It is super easy to use and clean. Everything comes apart to clean and sterilise. Maybe one of the more expensive ones but worth every penny. I wish I got the double one and the bra but I think you can purchase a double attachment so I may do this. It has a soft humming noise when in use which is not too loud at all. It’s great for in the car or on the go as can be mains or battery powered. Super product you won’t regret spending out on. - Strengths:

I used the hospital grade breast pumps for 27 days which absolutely tore my poor nipples to bits... and was recommended this by another mummy I met on the NICU. I bought this the day I left, and was the best thing I did! Very easy to set up and use, different setting for speed, gets the milk out quick with very little pain, of course sometimes the nipples can become sore but it definitely minimised any discomfort. Very easy to wash and sterilise and comes in a handy little drawstring bag which made it easy to take out and about. Highly recommended! And I will be keeping this for the next time! - Strengths:

I really love this pump. It has been so handy for me. Has long leads and pump tube in case you need to get up. The battery power option is great for travelling or a day out. I would recommend this to anyone. - Strengths:

When I started my breastfeeding journey I struggled to express. I was given the medela hand pump by the hospital before I left and I could barely get any milk expressed. My partner bought me this pump and it was the best thing ever! It was easy to use and the different stimulation settings helped me express more milk than I ever could by hand! The mains cable means I don’t go through hundreds of batteries using it and with being able to use it without the mains cable means it’s portable so I could pump out and about. The only problem that I could think of was that it is quite loud when working, meaning it’s quite hard to pump discreetly while out and about (if that’s what you want to do, i only ever pumped at home after feeds). Overall I would recommend this pump to any mum who is struggling to express by hand or with the hand pumps - Strengths:

Great breast pump, until using this I thought the manual ones did the job, but this is a game changer for expressing. Easy to set up and comfortable when using. Allows me to express in a short time and allow the hubby to share evening feeds. Once you get used to the noise and hubbys laughs it’s all good! Can use one handed as lightweight. You have the option of a mains plug or batteries. Good clear instructions included. - Strengths:

Comes with clear instructions for those that are new (tried and tested idiot proof as I was a total novice to pumping!) I purchased whilst pregnant so that I was prepared. It was so easy to use and control the speed and suction that I forgot it was on at times. It's quiet but powerful meaning that you don't disturb the baby whilst they're getting there well needed rest but you can sit close enough to them that you don't disturb. It was soft on the breast and wasn't uncomfortable it actually felt quite natural. I was recommended this product by a friend who had her daughter 3 months early and was given this brand at hospital to use so I knew it must be trusted if used by professional people. I was highly delighted. It came in a compact box with everything I could need including a bottle. The pump could be easily attached to breast without complication, tried and tested whilst in a sleep deprived state at 3am with one eye shut. This made my short breastfeeding journey extremely successful and it gave me the ability to feed my child my own milk for longer than I would of been able to naturally. - Strengths:

I loved this pump. It's simple to use and comfortable too. It does well to release the milk and is easy to clean afterwards. I would recommend getting one of the special bras to hold it in place so you don't get tired arms holding it there whilst pumping. I also think if you have the budget get the double version instead to save time. - Strengths:

It's ok.. it pumps milk so does what its supposed.to. but its loud.. hard to clean.. and expensive!! Which means people end up selling them 2nd hand but because its not a closer unit means possibly contamination of your milk ?♀️ - Strengths:

I love this pump, this is my first pump after using manual ones and getting next to nothing from them. It's comfortable and easy to use, it's also compact and easy to take with you. I took mine on a 5 hour bus journey to London and back and pumped on the bus, it's very convenient though it does make a noise but no one on the bus looked my way at all, so couldn't of been that noticeable. It's easy to clean and new filters etc are readily available and easy to change. I would recommend this to anyone. - Strengths:

I purchased this when my son was 5 days old and continued to use it until he was 11 Months. It was comfortable to use and much better than other cheaper pumps I have tried. It is easy to set up and I have been able to use it one handed. I like that you can pump straight into the bottles and that you are then able to transfer it to the fridge or freezer to store. This pump is quite noisy when in use so it’s hard to be discrete should you need to use it in public. However I’d like me you want to just use it in the house I would 100% recommend this pump and it worth more than double what you will pay for it. - Strengths:

I tried using a manual breast pump first and really struggled to get much. I moved onto this and it was perfect for me! Really easy to use and wash and helped me a great deal on my journey as I physically couldn’t feed my baby as he was so small. I really wanted him to still have breast milk. Would highly recommend this product to anyone wanting to express. - Strengths:
