Spectra

4.7

(92)

"I love my spectra s1. It’s portable and has different settings."

"I've been pleased with my Spectra s1 (blue). I like that is battery operated and pretty straightforward."

"The Spectra Synergy Gold has dual motors, and you can control the speed and suction intensity on each side."

"I like the spectra synergy gold!"

"Hospital grade - Spectra (I got the pink one through insurance)."

"Spectra S1 (the blue one), momcozy m5 (hands-free), medela harmony (manual)"

"My insurance covered a spectra. It works really well, I don’t really have any complaints."

"I got a Spectra S2 free with insurance and it works great."

"Spectra. Hands down."

"You can buy spectra on amazon.com, they ship to Canada"

Medela

4.1

(55)

"I rented the medela from the hospital. Sooo easy and reliable."

"I have been using the hospital-grade Medela Symphony & it’s better than the regular Medela."

"If your insurance covers the rental of a hospital grade pump — do it. Medela symphony."

"I also bought a Medela Harmony hand pump (life saver, wish I would’ve had this from the get go for when I got really engorged)."

"Medela hand pump is great. The only actual difference between manual and hand pump is that you do have to have a hand free."

"I rented a hospital grade Madela pump from their website when I first started exclusively pumping which was great."

"I find it to be comfortable and convenient because I have the teat that screws onto the bottles."

"I love my medela manual pump. Worked great for me and easy to sterilise."

"I also like the medela manual pump."

"I use a pumping bra with Medela Freestyle and have been successful."

Elvie

4.0

(18)

"Also had the elvie for going back to work"

"I had spectra s1 covered by insurance, and ordered elvie for work (it’s currently on sale!)."

"Between all 3 of them you can really get the most milk in every situation and stay comfortable while doing it!"

"I love my elvie products!! I recommend the pump, the curve, and the catch."

"Splurged on an Elvie this time around so I could be hands free."

"Excited for the idea of just slipping it into my bra and pumping on the go instead of having to sit and feel like I’m milking myself like a cow."

"Great for occasional use."

"I love that it's hands free, quiet, and has different expressing options."

"They work well enough for various tasks, but not at 100% physical level."

Momcozy

4.5

(11)

"Have been happy with momcozy m5 wearable as the only pump I use."

"Spectra (blue) ALL THE WAY! Also, get a breast massager."

"I ended up getting the Momcozy M5 and much prefer it."

"I have the mom cozy m5 and I love it"

"The Momcozy V1 is portable and hospital grade, making it a great choice for on-the-go pumping."

"I find it really good, and easy to clean. It’s also hands free as it slots in your bra, so you can pump and do chores."

"She got the momcozy because she liked that the motor was on the cups."

"The S12 has increased my output and made it more consistent compared to the Medela."

"Convenient for on-the-go pumping."

"I use momcozy for whenever I need to do any running around."

Lansinoh

4.3

(9)

"Though the lansinoh is my favorite pump and the most comfortable."

"I really like the Lansinoh smart pump!! I prefer it over the Tommee Tippee; less parts to clean and a less painful suction. Plus the app is a great pair with it (Baby 2.0)"

"My favorite pump is a manual pump by Lansinoh."

"I loved my lansinoh one. Perfect if you have bigger breast as well."

"The manual was also way cheaper, only 20$!"

"I love it, it is super efficient (much more than the electric) and takes about the same amount of time as the electric."

"Affordable and useful for collecting colostrum."

"The Lansinoh manual pump works well!"

"I got the Lansinoh one but it sucks so probably don’t go with that."

Motif

4.6

(7)

"I have a Motif Luna and I love it."

"I have no issues with the Motif Luna."

"Upgrading to a battery version was absolutely worth it."

"I love my Motif Luna! People say it’s similar to the Spectra but I haven’t tried it to compare."

"I really loved my spectra last time. This time around my insurance didn't cover that pump, but they do cover the motif Luna which I've heard is similar to spectra."

"I have the plug in spectra and the motif Luna, and they are very, very similar."

"I am really liking motif Luna."

Freemie

4.7

(6)

"The combination of the baby Buddha and Freemie cups worked great, providing lots of suction without being too loud."

"The Freemie cups were expensive but allowed me to multitask while pumping, although they were bulky."

"I got the Freemie Liberty wearable pump so I have a bit more freedom."

"I love my Freemie Independence. They are also doing a sale right now."

"Holds the same amount as the Elvies and was fine to use."

"The Freemie Independence 2 is fine for on the go."

Ameda

3.9

(7)

"The Ameda Mya is a vast improvement, rechargeable, and more sanitary."

"They will go through your insurance and send you a pump either for free or at a discounted price."

"I haven't had any issues or complaints."

"The Ameda had stronger suction but less ability to customize settings."

"I got the same results no matter what I used, but I would classify my supply as 'low'."

"It's fine I guess, but it's not the best. I struggle with it some - I feel like it's not as powerful as I wish it was."

Spectra S2

4.3

(6)

"I have the Spectra 2 and it works great."

"After some research I found Spectra seemed to be the most recommended."

"I used the spectra s2 and the Elvie with my first."

"I have a spectra s2, a pumpables genie advanced, and a hand pump."

"I used both a Spectra S2 and a Medela Symphony."

Willow

4.4

(5)

"I have a willow go that I love! It gets me the same as and sometimes more than my spectra."

"We also used Willows and had a massive oversupply."

"Complete game changer having your hands free. They are expensive but worth it."

"I bought the Willow because I plan on pumping in the car and it’s cordless."

"I also have a second wearable one (Willow) which I use when I need to walk around and get things done."

Spectra S1

(4)

"I loved the Spectra S1 because it was battery powered so I could carry it around or throw it in a backpack to move around the house."

"I recommend the spectra but everyone's body is different."

"I purchased the spectra s1 and was gifted a medela and elvie."

"Both are great, although I barely use the spectra now."

#12

Pumpables

4.5

(4)

"I loved my Pumpables Genie Advanced, which is a similar size to the Baby Buddha."

"The Pumpables Genie Advanced is also portable and hospital grade, perfect for busy moms."
