Spectra
4.5
(49)
"The BLUE spectra….cannot understand why anyone would get the pink?? Blue is chargeable and does not have to be plugged in…pink has to be plugged into a wall. I swear by it and always got great output."
"Second this. Spectra S1 was elite for me and got it through insurance as well."
"The spectra s1 actually got me mad at the medela pump that got me through my first two babies. Why didn’t anyone tell me about it? It works so well and is so nicely quiet. And yes, being able to move around unplugged is invaluable. Worth the extra cost."
"Spectra Synergy Gold is incredible"
"Another vote for Spectra S1. I had S2s for my previous two babies and being able to grab it to let the dog out or something is really wonderful."
"I also have spectra s1 as my main pump to use at home. I have mom cozy m5 as my portable pump. I highly recommend spectra s1"
"I really like it."
"Personally I will be going with the Spectra!"
"I started with one as well and eventually upgraded to a Spectra S1. It made a world of difference."
"All my mom friends love their spectras."

Medela
4.2
(23)
"The Medela Symphony as a rental is a dream."
"Medela as you can get custom flange sizes as the standard size might not be your size."
"I would recommend a medela swing. It's very quiet and smooth."
"I have not had any issues with it as of yet."
"I have the Medela Sonata and really like it."
"I find I can get about the same amount in half the time as my electric pump."
"Medela!"
"Something hospital grade is likely the best bet, like a Medela Symphony or Ameda Platinum."
"If Medela works for you you might like the Freestyle and their wearable cups."
"I have both the Medela Swing and the Medela Pump in Style."
#4
Elvie
4.1
(17)
"Elvie stride or VikaFlow one."
"I bought elvies last kids and it was a game changer. Was worth the money."
"Elvie Stride or regular Elvies."
"Elvie stride works great for me."

Willow
4.1
(16)
"100000% recommend Willow Go!"
"Willow go. I respond the same or better to the willows than my spectra."
"I got the Willow gos and they have been awesome!"
"The willow is hands down the best hands free one and has a hospital grade motor."
"Willow go is my favorite and the most quiet!"
"I’ve been using the Willow go for about 4 months and love it."
"I have Large breasts and I found that Williow and Spectra S2 works great."
"I just ordered the Willow Go (it's hands-free, and it was on sale for 25% off)"
"I've used both the M5 and Willow Go. I think both have their pros and cons but the Willow empties me out better."
"Willow has containers that hold 7oz and the new containers are spill proof."

#7
Spectra S1
4.9
(12)

Pumpables
4.8
(11)
"I went with the Pumpables Genie Advanced. It’s super portable, works with a lot of flanges, is hospital grade, great suction, battery lasts long, and is really small compared to most other pumps."
"My favorite is Pumpables Genie."
"Was great last time I pumped."
"Would be my choice."
"My pumpables GA was great for work."
"Loved my genie advanced. As strong as my spectra, so easy to pack for work or vacation."

Baby Buddha
4.8
(9)

#10
Senville
4.6
(7)
"I agonized for months about which manufacturer to go with before deciding on Senville. No regrets at all so far! One of my units was damaged in transit... replacement on the way quickly."
"I have been running my self installed Senville units for three years straight now. They heat, and cool my entire home year round."
"I self installed a Senville 36k unit with three indoor units... Now to keep the warranty valid with Senville you must have your self install verified by a licensed HVAC technician."
"I just finished installing 3 senville units to heat/cool my whole house and work shop... It is "DIY" able if you are a technically minded person."
"Id order a senville at the listed online price if you wanted it! The new cold weather stuff is great."
"I now do them myself and I don't care if it doesn't last as long. Paying someone to install a mini split is so incredibly expensive that I can order a senville, fuck it up, order another one."
"If you want to go with a "diy" ductless heat pump... I would go with a unit from senville or pioneer and get a tech off their recommended list to do the install."
#11
Lansinoh

(6)
"That one works super well for me."
"I love my lansinoh discreet duos."

"Lansinoh - I have had manual, hands free and wall plug in version and I’ve enjoyed all of them!"
