 Love the First Years brand! September 24, 2008
J. Morgan (Wild West, USA)
I am 7 months pregnant, so I haven't had a chance to actually *use* this pump. However, I didn't want that to get in the way of leaving a review. I love that this pump came with a DVD, 2 bottles and a package of freezer bags. As soon as I got this in the mail, I opened it up, put it together and turned it on to make sure it at least worked. I am thrilled with how nice the bag is, how easy to assemble the pump is, and all the different options for storage containers. I'm a big fan of The First Years bottles anyways, because they're said to be more like breastfeeding than other bottles. I'm really excited to give this a try.
great for the money August 6, 2008

I got this pump after a friend had used it. I use it all the time and neither of us has had any problems with it. It is a bit loud, but just close the cover or put a pillow over it and it's not that bad. I first had a medula hospital grade pump, and this pump pumps my milk just the same. I only pump for 15-20 mins total. The suctions did hurt at first but after a few uses it doesn't hurt at all anymore. I have to use it on the highest setting but that was the same for the other pump I had.
 spend a little more, save your breasts! July 17, 2008
Kathryn M. Lincoln (St. Croix, USVI)
i am usually one of those people who thinks that just because something is less expensive doesn't mean it is worse than something else. But I was wrong with this breast pump. First off, it is so loud, I have actually woken my baby in the night when i have used it and he is a very good sleeper. Also, it is super bulky- it is a big case to drag along everywhere on top of all the other things you have to carry around. Third, it is PAINFUL to pump! OMG it hurts! if you put on low setting, you never get milk so you have to turn it up and then it is painful. it has ridged suction cup and every time i have marks on my breast for up to an hour after. i have actually chosen engorgement over this pump before and have also woken my son to have him feed to relieve me instead. if you can't afford a fancy eletric one- go with a manual- i got one and it is much less painful!
I like it February 12, 2008

This pump worked for me. I was comfortable using it, because with the range of settings I could find a place that was comfortable for me. The motor is somewhat loud, however I found that if I closed the lid of the machine while I used it, it was much quieter. I also liked the price compared to a $200 machine.
Great pump for a great price! May 29, 2006

I got this pump over two years ago. I used it for a year with my first daughter and I've now used it for four months with my second daughter. So for durability alone I give it five stars.
It pumps relatively quickly. I can pump both sides in less than 20 minutes and the amount I get just depends on how full I am.
It is a bit noisy, but it's quiter if you keep the cover of the case down and if you need it really quiet - throw a blanket over the top.
I use mine almost exclusively at home so it's super convenient for that, I've taken it with me on one or two occassions to use while I was going to be away from my daughter for an extended period of time, and it's kind of big and bulky for that purpose. Though the case it comes in can easily be hung on a purse hook in a bathroom stall and the tubing is long enough that you could use while sitting down (though I prefer to use a handicap stall and just stand by the door) - OH what the other bathroom users must think! :-)
I'm getting ready to go on a trip for five days and I'm planning on packing this pump in my suitcase and buying a smaller pump to take with me on the plane - this one is just too big to bring on the plane and I'm sure that I could really freak some people out carrying a big black case into the bathroom and then turning it on!
AND First Years customer service is really great. I needed a replacement part after about six months of use and they were happy to send it out to me free of charge.
I would definitely buy this pump again, though if you are pumping at work or just really need the extra ten minutes I suggest you get a DOUBLE breast pump. Twenty minutes of pumping is no big deal a couple times a week, but a couple times of day would be really inconvenient.
