    Great quality pump. A must have for any moms who are looking to breastfeed their little ones but can't always be there to do it. It is an expensive product but worth the investment.

    An expensive purchase but worth every penny. Works exceptionally well and quite quickly. Nice to get the travel bag with it as well.

    This is an amazing pump. I used it 8 times a day, everyday for 6 months. My son didn't latch and this was a lifesaver. It works so well I was able to get 20-24 oz of breast milk during every pump session.

    This breast pump was amazing. I had a hard time producing milk when I first had my daughter, but the pump helped a lot. It is easy to use and I was able to be hand free when pumping. The motor was powerful and the pump had excellent suction without hurting me.

    I wasn't able to continue breastfeeding my baby for reasons out of my control. I used (and still use
    ) this pump every day to continue to give my daughter some breast milk every day. The only thing I don't like are the horns ( the attachment that presses onto your breast...I call them horns!) it comes with. They get grimy and yellow after repeated use. I had rented the medela hospital grade pump for a bit and was required to purchase the pump parts for $50 so I use the horns from that set. Also have to be careful when washing. I am starting to get a small crack in one of the attachment pieces. I no longer sterilize them as I think the high temperatures may have caused that, so I only was with soap and water. Best investment ever!!

    Purchased this almost new on Kijiji and paid under $200 but it is quite pricey at $400 retail. After using the Symphony, this pump was a pretty good replacement. It's not as quiet as the Symphony but definitely not as loud as the Mini-Electric. Our baby's crib is in our room and I'm able to pump without him waking up. The battery lasts pretty long and the unit is small and portable.

    Although this breast pump was a little pricy, it was totally worth it!!! I had to be put on medication when my newborn was only a month old, but I didn't want to stop breastfeeding. I needed to pump throughout the day in order to bottle feed him for when I took my medication. The pump was so quick and efficient, it didn't take much time out of my day in order to have a milk supply for my son. I pump almost daily to keep a supply in the fridge for when other caregivers watch my son. I would definitely recommend this product. Its easy to use and so far seems very durable!!

    I purchased this with my first born in 2012 and it was amazing. It gave me the opportunity to both breast and bottle feed which made my husband (and grandparents etc) apart of feeding time too. Although I used it most when she was a bit older. Now after my second in 2014 I use it everyday and it is so beneficial as I can choose to breast or bottle feed and not have to worry about schedules and or where I am! After using it for about a month I noticed that it seemed less effective so since I purchased the extra babies r us warranty I was able to call the number and they told me to purchase another one, email them photos of both receipts and within 7 days I received a refund cheque, not to mention a brand new pump too! There is also a set of straps you put together to make a bra so you can double pump, saving you more time to spend with babe and also do things while you pump. I have also attached Dr Brown bottles to it too! The mini cooler with ice pack is an added bonus, I use it all the time!

    This breast pump saved me when I had my baby - with problems latching in the first few weeks, this pump allowed me to keep at the challenge of breast feeding while feeding my baby breast milk rather than turning to formula. Makes some comical noises in action (..in the early hours of feeding, sleep deprivation had me convinces it was whispering "whacko! whacko! whacko!" at me..lol) but so effective in draining all the milk in very little time. Cleaning of the pump was very straightforward, best $$ I could've spent in those early days of fumbling at being a new mom :)
