Worst pump and worst brand ever! So overrated! Failed after 2 months use, started to switch off in the middle of pumping 1-2 times and then stopped working at all. Also the handsfree bra isn’t comfortable at all yet so expensive, I ended up using just a regular breastfeeding bra. I would not recommend.
Help! My pump fell on the ground when I was trying to get the suction cups off of me, and my tubing broke where it plugs into the machine, and the plug got stuck in there. What do I do?
Trying to help my wife troubleshoot this. Owned the pump since new. 8 months of usage, the suction is lacking and have replaced all components except for the pump. Guess what is on the Spec Sheet Page; "The operating life of this breast pump is defined to be approximately three 15-minute sessions per day, for one year. The operating life for the breast pump kit is 6 months." This pump has been used at least 4 times per day with 30 minute sessions.
Worst pump ever! I'm currently on my 4 pump (3 replacement) which is actually new, not like the 2 before and neither the battery packs from previous pumps and new pump work!😓 I bought new batteries, new charger for batteries, thinking that was the problem and NOPE! Still doesn't work😓. Only reason I've stuck it out this long is cuz I bought extra pump bottles sets to make this process easier and honestly I'm just over this pump. 😓
And what if the their personal use pump has hospital grade suction? And they use the initiation phase of their own pump? Isn’t that just as good? Moms should know that they can establish a good milk supply without renting a medela symphony or other hospital pump. Right?
