Tandem
4.7
(77)
"Tandem Mobi is a popular new one with a lot of great reviews (and what I use and love!)"
"T slim x2 is amazing and the tubing is not that much of a pain you get used to it the algorithm is amazing."
"10/10 recommend the Tandem Tslim."
"Tandem t:slim or Mobi. As long as your settings are somewhat correct you should easily get under 7.0 with Control-IQ."
"Tandem by a mile."
"Simplest easiest and designed independently but together. Big fan of mine."
"Tandems’s new Mobi pump will give you all of the advantages of their platform..."
"T:Slim / Dexcom G7 has been working great for me."
"First pump that I didn’t immediately swap out as soon as the warranty expired."
"My son uses Tandem tslim with Control IQ. His buddy uses Omnipod 5 (OP5). I want you to know that *BOTH are great* options."

Omnipod
4.6
(59)
"My A1C went down by 2.5 when I switched from Medtronic to Omnipod. Get it with Dexcom and it’ll change your life"
"I very much prefer Omnipod between the two. Dexcom sensors are much better than Medtronic sensors in my experience"
"I love the omnipod primarily because its tubeless."
"Omnipods is tubeless and changed every three days. It is compatible with dexcom cgm."
"I sleep way better with O5, because I am not twisting myself."
"I was a long time Medtronic user before switching over to the omnipod at the beginning of this year and I cannot imagine have to go back to tubing."
"I have a Tandem and an Omnipod."
"I switched to the Omnipod and I love it."
"Great algorithm, highly customizable."

Medtronic
3.9
(25)
"The new(ish) closed loop system on the 780G with Medtronic is a game changer."
"My BGs have been better than ever. The Loop/Tidepool algo is much better than any pump I know of."
"I use a 780g medtronic pump with a guardian 4 sensor to create a closed loop - total game changer, I highly recommend"
"I just upgraded from a 640G to a 780G with guardian 4 and it is incredible."
"I have the 780G. It’s a closed loop system which is very impressive at maintaining time in range."
"I like minimed 754 dm me I will die on this hill"
"I have only been low 1 time in the past 2 weeks and it was my fault completely. I use to have bad low issues."
"Medtronic is great."
"I have personally had very little issue with it."
"I’ve found the closed loop 780g and Guardian 4 to be incredibly effective."

Tandem t:slim

"Only used the tandem/dexcom, but Control-IQ is a game changer for me over pens."
"I have the Tandem and the Omnipod 5, and I use both interchangeably."
"I would eliminate Medtronic as an option, in all the posts asking about which one to get, no one seems to find Medtronic to be their favorite."
"I’m on the T slim with control iq and Dexcom G6. It’s my first pump and I’m happy with it."
"From a UI and small-size standpoint, I love the tslim x2."
