Pros & Cons
Pros
The pump sound is gentle and pleasingly nondescript. It is silent and i feel that it empties my breasts well. It’s so much quieter and saves me lots of time.
My only complaint is that i wish i could have chosen my * size. Its action is more gentle than medela pisa but it is so so much more effective.
I love that it has a'stimulation' mode and a'suckling' mode. Much better than just straight * with no stimulation. One of my favorite features is the timer, which tells you how long you've been pumping.
It does an amazing job of emptying me as well as an easy clean up. The only issue is that the power cord/adapter comes apart easily. I wish it were compatible with storage bags.
Cons
It defaults to your last setting but instead of starting on massage mode it starts on expression mode, why? This is inefficient and *. It's always getting pulled on and disconnected. But it is just ineffectual.
My body lets down milk very easily for my baby but resists the pump. The suction is not strong enough. The tubing is too short. And the flanges are expensive if you need to buy a different size. I have a pisa pump and was hoping i'd hate this one less... Read More
Highlights
Quality
I just tried it and super excited for the quality
5 months and always pump at least 1 ounce more then i ever did with the others
With the ameda i would get about 1 ounce per session total
I had our second and immediately began researching another pump after returning to work with the pisa and still feeling i wasn’t emptying
Price
This works great and for a good price
Competitiveness
I have this and a medela pump
I tried a medela while in the hospital but i definitely prefer my spectra
I was using a medela pump in style advanced and it was not working for me at all
I wasted a whole month the insurance supplied medela pump in style
