Affordable and easy to clean, but not an effective pump.

As mentioned this pump is super easy to clean with not too many parts to take apart. However, I much prefer my medela with all of its parts because it actually works. I was so hopeful that the Philips Avent double electric would do the job since it's considerably cheaper than all the double electric medela pumps, but I quickly learned why. First off good luck finding a hands free pumping bra that is compatible. So, instead you have to sit there with both hands occupied. Now I wouldn't mind that so much if it was an effective pump, but after 20 minutes I barely pump 40ml. I pump 40 ml in 5 minutes on the medela freestyle. If however, you have time this might be great for you, but I have a 4 week old baby that likes being held and am lucky if I have 20 minutes. I've read a decent pumping takes about 40 minutes on the comfort pump and that seems like too much pressure on your nipples.

So although this pump is easier to clean and apparently affordable (Not so much when you end up buying another pump) it isn't effective in the pumping department which is its sole purpose. Yes you can lie back while you pump, but I highly recommend you sit up, spend a bit more, and buy a medela. There's a reason medela is offered at hospitals and for rental. Avent is not.

Philip Avent makes a lot of good baby products, but unfortunately a pump isn't one.
