(221)
"My spectra got knocked off the counter with #2 and I was devastated because new insurance didn't cover it and I got the medela and HATED it, ended up buying a new spectra within two months."
"My last pregnancy I got the Spectra S1 and love it. Worked so much better than my last."
"I’m planning on the spectra s1, as all my friends have raved about the suction."
"I love the spectra S1 for a wall pump."
"I have a spectra s1 and I love it. It’s rechargeable and a workhorse."
"I got the Spectra S1 and it worked great!"
"The thing is great and I wish I had it for my previous kids but if I was regularly going into an office I might look for something less bulky."

Medela
4.0

"Medela symphony is amaaaazing. Better suction, quicker, just all around awesome."
"I rented the Medela Symphony. It's the pump you get to use while in the hospital. Its a beast but there is really no better pump."
"I love how fuss free it feels and being in control of the pump. Also the price point is awesome"
"I used my Medela Pump In Style as my only pump 1x a day for basically a year. Worked great for us and we still are nursing and still have a big freezer stash!"
"I used the medela freestyle flex and pumped once a day with my first. This time around I bought the wearable cups to go with it and it’s been a game changer."
"I use my Medela Pump in Style. I bought it when my first was 12 weeks old in 2020 and used if 1-3 times a day for the first 7-8 months and I pulled it back out when my second was born in January 2025 and I use it 1-2 times a day now and it's still working really well!"
"Medela was my ride or die when I had to exclusively pump for premature twins. Amazing pump."
"Love my Symphony. I've tried the Spectra, Medela Freestyle, Pumpables Genie Advaced. Nothing compares!"
"I rented the Medela Symphony from the hospital. I also had the Spectra from insurance, but once I tried the Medela I was like Oh Hell Yeah."
"Honestly the hand pump by Mandela was my savior! I hated the electronic pump. It felt so dehumanizing. And uncomfortable."
