Great PriceReview by MI
Rating I originally bought this pump to take with us on a trip, instead of lugging my big Madela bag with us in the plane. I ended up using it a lot after that as well (4-5 times a day). It does take a little longer to pump with this vs. the Madela. I would also reccomend that you apply some sort of nipple cream prior to pumping. I had some mild pain/pinching feeling when I first used this pump, but once I applied the cream the pain was gone. I love the fact that it can be used as a double OR single pump. The extra attachments are nice to have if you need to pump into another type of bottle. I have not used the handle for one hand pumping, so I can not review that part.
I only gave it 4 stars because after 6-7 weeks of daily use one of the sides lost suction strength. The company was VERY helpful. They sent me out a brand new pump within a week of calling. I just had to use it as a single pump while I waited for the new one to arrive.
It's a great little pump at an affordable price!

Not a good pumpReview by Jessics S.
Rating The olnly thing I like about this pump is the soft breast flanges. Other than that it is not worth the money. I had to buy a better pump after the MiPump stoped sucking.

Nice, comfortable and quietReview by Rach
Rating I have found that this pump is great so far. I have had no problems with it at all. The motor is super quiet. The shield is nice and comfortable. I have an evenflow pump but it just wasn't cutting it after a month and a 1/2. I am a stay at home mom but went ahead and got the double in case I am away from the little one. You don't have to use the pump as a double, you can use it as a single (which is what I do all the time). Would highly recommend this product for a stay at home mom (cause that is all I know it for).
The nipple for the bottle it comes with is meant to promote breast feeding and is to be more like the real thing. My baby seems to like it and doesn't have any problem going back to nursing.

Save your money for a better pump! Review by happy mommy
Rating My son is one month old. I have been using this pump for about 3 weeks now. I used it on and off, averaging about 3 times daily. (Some days I pump more, others I do not pump at all because i'm nursing as well). This morning I was pumping and milk got into the tube that suctions. The milk ultimately got to the motor. Fortunately, the first years is sending me a replacement pump. I learned from the representative who I spoke with on the phone that this pump is meant to be used up to 5 times a day (MAXIMUM).
This pump takes a while to pump out my milk..it takes me about 20 mins to pump 3 OZ (when I had less milk, it took about 20 mins to pump 50 ml to 2 OZ). ***Also, I find the holder that this pump comes with to be extremely uncomfortable..it's difficult to hold and I prefer to just hold the bottles. AND it takes me a while to adjust it properly so that it isn't REALLY painful to pump. This could be due to my lack of experience, though.*** Bottom line, if you are planning on pumping more than 5 times a day, this is not the pump for you. I also learned from the representative on the phone that you should flick the flaps on the valves before pumping because they sometimes get stuck and the milk backs up causing the milk to go into the suction tubes!
