I am loving using this pump with my now 7 month old. It is the only pump I have used which hasn't caused me pain when pumping and the bottle that comes with it is the only teat my daughter has accepted. I would like it to come with more spare parts so when some are being sterilised, we can use others. - Strengths:

This electric breastpump is a real godsend, it’s a great design, very easy to use and clean and comes with a handy travel bag. I really like that it can be battery operated as well as mains. - Strengths:

I was recommended a few different breast pumps and didn’t know which one to choose. I knew I wanted an electric pump and I chose this one due to affordability and the reviews. It was a great pump and I am happy with my choice. Thank you Medela!! - Strengths:

As this is one of the most popular breast pumps in the UK I decided to buy this one. However it is an open system which means milk can (and in my case did) get i to the tubing. Not only is this unhygienic but it can also go to the motor. On top of that if you tilt the bottle a bit it will leak. As my supply was such a struggle this was heartbreaking to me. I contacted customer care and they were very nice sending me replacement parts but it did not help. I ended up exchanging it but the same happened so I returned it and went with another brand.

This pump is great.
My son was born premature and this pump allowed me to express at home. It’s really easy to use and has two settings to mimic natural feeding and help your let down. I managed to achieve a larger volume with this pump when compared to a manual pump. - Strengths:

Really handy to have I feel like you need to know when to use it which best suits your milk supply. Value for money wise it’s quite expensive I use the hand expressor as I find it quicker. -

I first tried this at a friends house as I was struggling with a hand pump. Wow it was fantastic and it was quite discreet as well.
My husband bought it for me and it was so practical to have it is compact so I was able to take it with me when we went a at for a weekend.
It was relatively quiet which then didn’t make pumping a chore except it did take a little long to pump at times. - Strengths:

We got a good giggle every time this was used as it sounded like a cow mooing.
I liked the fact there was a portable option.
I had another pump brand and this worked significantly better. - Strengths:

This pump is easy to use, painless, easy to sterilise.
I know it's expensive but if your thinking of pumping I wouldn't waste your money on a different product. This does what it says on the tin and the attachments you can buy (bottles) fit the pump easy to make the whole experience stress-free and simple. - Strengths:

This product is easy to set up and use which was a life saver given that I over produced on New Year's Eve and desperately needed relief. Despite being sore from overproduction the pump did not hurt at all. This was the case every time and I never had a problem with pain which some other pumps can cause. I love the fact the storage bottles can also be used in the freezer. This saved mess transferring milk into bags as well as money as they are reusable. It wasn't too noisy either meaning that (with practice) I could feed and express without my little girl being disturbed.
I only wish that there was a way to use this pump without it being plugged into the wall. I could use it having just one baby but would struggle next time round due to it not being portable. - Strengths:

This breast pump saved my sanity when I was going to give up. With great suction and so easy to use it was definitely worth every penny spent. It was easy to clean and all bits just went into the microwave sterilized with everything else. If needed extra bits are easy to get and replace. I would recommend this to any new mum or suffering mum. - Strengths:

I bought this breast pump to express after my little boy wasn’t gaining adequate weight after being born. The design is great & it’s very quick to put together, however the tube sometimes gets milk trapped into it, which isn’t easy to clean. Also the auction can vary at times especially if the tube is bent.
It’s great as a basic pump but there are better out there. It would be useful if you don’t have to constantly hold the breast pump and if there was a longer battery life. - Strengths:

A great product to have if you are breastfeeding or just expressing.
It’s easy to put together and wash, the suction is more like a babies sucking action than others I used with my first child. A bit more expensive than similar products on the market but worth every penny if you want a quality product that really works. - Strengths:

I brought one of these ask I could pump so my husband could feed and bond with our son and generally give me a break. It was very easy to set up and use. I found it pumped well and with the adjustable levels it would suit all mums. I have used this in the bath, car and around the house. It wasn't too noisy so was able to relax and watch something whist pumping. I have never had any issues with it and it was very comfortable to use. I would definitely recommend this item to anyone who would like to pump and feed. I didn't use the teats that came with it so cant comment on these. - Strengths:

I was given this model 4 years ago when I had my first child and am now using it with baby number 2 to support breast feeding. We have almost reached 6 months exclusively breast fed but would not have made it without the help of this pump! We first used it to give baby top up feeds as he was a lazy feeder, and have subsequently used it to maintain my supply for the (odd) night's baby sleeps through. It's so much easier than a manual pump and using the Medela milk storage bags we now have a healthy stockpile in the freezer. This is a must if you are breastfeeding! - Strengths:

I decided to buy this breast pump as it is the same model as the hospital where I work uses. Brilliant breast pump. I bought it while I was pregnant at a discounted price straight from Medela's webpage along with the breastfeeding pack, which included two calma teats, breast milk storage bags and a couple of bottles. It really helped me to give my nipples a rest while still expressing for my baby. Expressing was very comfortable and pain free regardless of my very sore nipples. I have also taken the pump on holidays and I love that it comes with a charger as well as it gives you the option of using batteries. I am also planning to use it when I return to work. - Strengths:

This is so much better than using a handheld pump, the suction is great, its portable so can be plugged in at the mains or battery operated and is so simple and easy to use. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it if you are planning on expressing lots. - Strengths:

Best pump ive used gets milk out so fast instead of being at it for ages.
Only problem is if your boob is so full and your milks coming out really fast it can get in the tube so you have to clean the pump out. - Strengths:

I use my pump every day. It's great as although it has a mains power supply it is also battery operated making it easy to carry around. It is light and very quiet. I can pump so quickly and it is comfortable making the chore of pumping so much less stressful. It has a great little bag to keep everything together and a calma bottle which is great for new babies. - Strengths:
