Product Description
The Playtex Petite Double Electric Breast Pump is a high-quality, discreetly-sized electric breast pump designed for ultimate comfort and efficiency. Three levels of fully adjustable suction let you control your own pumping experience. The unique, patented Soft Comfort Breast Cups massage the breast while pumping and provide suction from the side, rather than pulling and tugging directly on the nipple as many other systems do, for ultimate comfort and fast let-down. The pump utilizes a unique

this is not for u or me June 13, 2008
Nakai Safford (Ohio)
Though my son is saticfied when he is with me, I was considering not breast feeding because of how little I was getting from pumping. I bought this pump on an emergency. I had a medlia and my ice pack leaked into the motor so i need a new one asap w/ little money to spend. After two weeks with this pump my supply went from 11oz(I was already complaning about)to 4oz in a whole 10hr workday. After reading I'm not the only one having trouble with it I will stick with breastfeeding and upgrade right away.Wish I read these first hope it helps someone avoid the hassle, just buy the best. Keep in mind even if it is for temp use the settings are from one extreme to the other
low-i couldn't even tell if it was on
med-tickled causing letdown but suction to weak to get milk out
high-felt like my skin was tearing
if i could have given no star i would have
This pump should be recalled, it's trash! February 2, 2008

This was the worst breast pump ever in my opinion. It looks good, and honestly it does feel comfortable when it works. How ever the motor is terrible, it only worked for less than 3 hours total use time before it lost suction. They have bad customer service, and of course you can't return it and get your money back. I had to go back to using my medela manual breast pump for a while until I purchased an electric medela breast pump on ebay that I really love. My friend owns a lansinoh and she loves hers as well.
The playtex system is a great concept because of the soft nipple shield but that is all, it is just "a concept" because the product does not work. I am really disappointed with playtex for not maitainig their high quality standards in continuing to manufacture and sell this pump knowingly ripping people off.
cheap motor--waste of money January 31, 2008

I've had this less than nine months and the motor is shot. It now has little to no suction and I'm just going to have to throw it away. Don't waste your money--buy a better quality pump that will last.
Junk/ great disappointment - do not buy it October 17, 2007

What a great disappointment. I got this pump as a gift and oh what a nightmare. I have been trying to get it to work for several weeks. I have pumped with a Medela manual pump and it works like a charm. After 10 minutes I have 4 ozs of milk, but with the Playtex piece of junk I get nothing and sometimes maybe 1 oz after pumping for more than 10 mins.
My sister recommended the Medela electric pump which she has been using since she had her daughter and she recommended getting one. What a big difference. It cost more but it is the best pump ever. I can get 4 ozs in 5 minutes.
My advise to anyone who needs a pump is DO NOT BUY THIS PLAYTEX PUMP.
She has contacted playtex, they sent her new tubings and a new pump and it is still a piece of junk. Playtex needs to remove this from the market.
This is only for those who have milk pouring out and do not need a pump to get it out.
I wish I had check the reviews on Babies R Us before I bought this piece of junk.

Invest in a pump with features that are better customized. This pump does not achieve maximum milk flow.
*Update* after a little over a week of using this pump twice per day it has totally konked out. The suction stopped working. I will contact Playtex and see what they can do about it.
*Update* Playtex is sending me new tubing and another motor. This seems to be a common problem with this pump. Save your money and purchace another pump. I would change my rating to one star if I could.
