Hi!!! Thanks for the review! Comparing to medela symphony, how is the suction? I´m. getting back to work in 3 weeks and the simphony is too big to carry so i am going to return it to the pharmacy I rented from. Thank you!!
I’m not saying this is a crappy pump it does work well but make sure you replace your tubing a lot because mine definitely got milk all in it and I found mold as well 😔
Is the output significantly better with this pump than the freestyle flex? I’m trying to decide between this one and the flex. What would be your choice if you could only use one?
Great video! I’m expecting a baby boy in a month. And I was wondering do you think it’s worth the price? A lot of reviews say the suction is not good and it takes longer to pump compared to other pumps. What are your thoughts? Thanks!
Thanks! I personally really do like this pump. I haven’t really had problems with its suction so I do think it’s worth the price. Especially if you can get it on sale or with a coupon!
I had this question too! I still have time to think of which one i want but i want to see a video of both of them being compared since those are the only 2 I’m interested in
I got this pump and its waaayy better then the old version. The suction is stronger and the microvibrations are great. Work well for me. It is loud though.
This is a great pump. I had the pump in style advanced out of the hospital and hated it. This is much stronger and better at emptying me. I do agree a timer and level screen would be nice. But its really good. The micro vibrations are great and work for me. Also the bag is nice! The closed system is awesome. My old one used to get moisture in the tubing every single time. This never has. Also the suction on this to me feels much stronger then the medela symphony. Which I also have. And rarely use it.
I find the breast shield too short for my comfort. I have the 21mm, but with my previous Medela pump, the shield was longer and I could see the milk coming out, now I can't and I feel like my nipple hits the yellow membrane. Any advice? Or suggestions for longer shields?
Thanks for the review! I was wondering if you could help me decide between the different Medelas though. I'm due with my first at the end of November and I'm trying to decide between the Sonata (previously used for 6 months priced at $250), the Freestyle Flex brand new (with a discount for around $360), the old Freestyle (used for $220), and this new PIS with MaxFlow tech brand new (with discount for $270). I know each have their pros and cons but I'm so overwhelmed with all the different features. I'm planning on taking 12 months for maternity leave and likely won't be out too much given the pandemic. Would you say the tech on this new PIS outweighs the portability of the Flex?
What am I doing wrong? I had their old one but it broke and I got this one to replace it. I can't get it to work for me. I get less than a teaspoon out but my breasts are still full.
Thanks for the review!! Think it’s Obvious but I want to make sure before I order. I used the medela pump in style two years ago for my first and have lots of extra parts. I can’t use those parts for this pump right? Looks totally different other than perhaps using the plastic shield if I needed to. Also, do u know if they make other shield sizes? I was a 27 last time and the rubber shield def sounds like an improvement! Also hoping I can use the same medela bottles I used two years ago too
They do make other sized shields that you can buy separately. I’ve seen the 27mm. It’s a new pump but it’s parts are the same as the flex so you can buy replacements and extras if needed. The tubing and connectors are completely different so I don’t think you can use those interchangeably with the two pump in style pumps (unless someone has figured out a clever way to work around it).
Thanks for the review! I’ve been waiting for reviews but only find unboxing ones. I already ordered the pump and was crossing fingers, hoping it better have more good points on reviews once there is! 😅😁. I did notice right away that we observed the same few cons while you’re demonstrating it such as there’s no screen and the clicking. 😟 hopefully i’ll manage. Thank you so much momma! 🥰
A2Z Mama do you prefer this to the original pump in style? I’m due for a new one, and my insurance will cover either. Also, do you find the shields too short? I’ve read some issues with nipples being pulled all the way up to the adapter.
