I purchased this pump when I went back to work so I could remain breastfeeding. This pump does not encourage the natural let down process and the vacuum adjuster gives either too much or too little suction. The pump also leaks extremeley bad. I went back and purchased the Avent Isis pump, which was a much better investment.

I bought this a few months before my son was born, so that I would have "something" in the house. When I started feeding him, I realized that this one wasn't worth it. It leaks badly, and doesn't have a very strong suction, even on the highest setting. Also, it is very easy to "over pump" the handle, causing the pump to jump its seal and loose strength/power. Not to mention, it's tiring to use..

I have tried 3 types of pumps: electric, batery, and manuel. I thought I could save a little money and go with the cheeper pupms, but obviously I could have saved my self the time and money and gone with 2 of the Isis manual pumps and been much happier than I was with this. This pump looses its suction and will give you a cramp trying to even get an ounce. Three months of pumping with the Isis got me spoiled and I will never reccomend anything but Isis from now on!

I normally would stay away from Evenflo pumps, because of their reputation, but I got this one at clearance .... I also have an Avent Isis pump. I think the Isis is a sturdier pump and will hold up longer. However, the Evenflo pump is easier to put together and clean, almost as efficient, and I can pump directly into the standard bottles my baby drinks from. I find this pump to be almost as easy to use as the Avent.

It also comes with adaptors for the Evenflo elite bottles. If you use that bottle for feeding, it's almost worth buying 2 of these pumps just for the adaptor.

I had been using the Avent Isis but it had cracked, the only one available at the store was this one. I was experienced at nursing/breast pumping for 7 MONTHS so this is experience here.

This pump LEAKS - I would pump 4 ounces and 4 would be in the sink, it is hard to use and horrid. It would cause someone NEW to the whole experience to quit. A product that would undermine a Mom's nursing and a babes HEALTHY development!

I emailed Avent - they sent me a replacement part for free & a free sippy cup too!

This pump is a waste of money. It leaks badly, and makes pumping really hard work. Plus it broke after 6 weeks, and the Evenflow customer care people could care less. Their remedy for a broken pump is to send you a new instruction booklet!

I bought the AVENT ISIS - and it's a joy to use. Save yourself the money and time and just get the avent pump - it's a better pump and well worth the extra $$.

I would highly reccommend putting out the money for a medela or better brand breastpump. I thought that I was getting a bargain when I picked this breastpump up on sale. I figured it would be great since I planned on pumping only once in a while. Unfortunatley my son had a poor latch on. I was able to use this pump twice, and both times I wore more breast milk then what was in the bottle. Save your money.

I gave this pump 2 stars only because it produced more milk output than the electic doulble breast pump I used, but it definitely leaks and is not nearly as comfortable nor produces as much milk output as the Isis Manual Breast Pump. Spend the extra money and by the Isis, you will save yourself time, frustration and money in the long run! I even got this pump on sale and it still wasn't worth the money.

I bought this pump as my second evenflo pump. My first one was the electric one(that just quit working after 3 uses). This pump has failed me several times. It leaks around the top when not held in the EXACT way it says. After having problems with this pump and my other evenflo pump I called the 1-800 number on the box and got a recording 5 different times telling me that they were experiencing "high call volume" and could I try my call again at a later date. I was then disconnected. I wouldn't recommend this pump to anyone. If you are deciding on breastfeeding and are going back to work after your maternity leave, I highly suggest investing in a better pump. I thought I was getting a bargain for the price, but I got what I paid for...twice. Don't be affraid to spend the extra money once instead of three times like myself.

When I went back to work, I used the Avent ISIS pump and have had great success w/ it. One day, I forgot to bring my pump to work and since I live pretty far away decided to run to the store and pick up something as a spare. What a disappointment!!
I wish I had just gone ahead and spent the extra $15 and got another ISIS. Nothing is good about this pump. It leaks, it's incredibly inefficient (I usually get 3-4 oz and got only a 1 oz in the same amount of time and felt like I had carpal tunnel),it's easy to overpump and it makes this annoying noise.
Stay away from this thing!!
