5.0 out of 5 stars Great pump for a great price!, May 28, 2006

This review is from: The First Years Premium Single Electric Breast Pump (Baby Product)

I got this pump over two years ago. I used it for a year with my first daughter and I've now used it for four months with my second daughter. So for durability alone I give it five stars.

It pumps relatively quickly. I can pump both sides in less than 20 minutes and the amount I get just depends on how full I am.

It is a bit noisy, but it's quiter if you keep the cover of the case down and if you need it really quiet - throw a blanket over the top.

I use mine almost exclusively at home so it's super convenient for that, I've taken it with me on one or two occassions to use while I was going to be away from my daughter for an extended period of time, and it's kind of big and bulky for that purpose. Though the case it comes in can easily be hung on a purse hook in a bathroom stall and the tubing is long enough that you could use while sitting down (though I prefer to use a handicap stall and just stand by the door) - OH what the other bathroom users must think! :-)

I'm getting ready to go on a trip for five days and I'm planning on packing this pump in my suitcase and buying a smaller pump to take with me on the plane - this one is just too big to bring on the plane and I'm sure that I could really freak some people out carrying a big black case into the bathroom and then turning it on!

AND First Years customer service is really great. I needed a replacement part after about six months of use and they were happy to send it out to me free of charge.

I would definitely buy this pump again, though if you are pumping at work or just really need the extra ten minutes I suggest you get a DOUBLE breast pump. Twenty minutes of pumping is no big deal a couple times a week, but a couple times of day would be really inconvenient.

4.0 out of 5 stars Was good enough for me, April 3, 2006

This pump is obviously not the top of the line but it did what i needed to do. I only pumped when I was engorged so at the most it was used once a day. I also realized that one side was easier to pump than the other. so in 5 minutes I could fill a bottle on the one side and it took longer on the other with the same setting. I also did not have to use it at full power. I gave it 4 stars because of the motor sound. It was louder than I expected but for the price of the pump and what I needed it for I would recommend it to someone who would not have to depend on it every day for feeding.

I wanted to find a pump that was great in price and product and this one worked for me. I returned to work when my son was four months and wanted to continue to nurse him. My first two/three weeks back to work was trying as it would take 45 minutes to pump a four oz bottle. With patience and time that time began to speed up while I began pumping twice that amount. I can now pump both sides within 15 minutes. I wanted a dual pump but settled on this one because of the cost. I knew that once I opened it there was no returns. I'm now into five months of pumping and all is well. There is two negatives that I hope they will change in the future. The pump is louder than I expected. Place a cloth over the battery portion to quiet it down. The case would be nice if it were a little smaller maybe more narrow as oppose to being to wide. I think this is a great pump with a great price if you plan on nursing up until the age of 15 months. Anything over that you may as well spend the money on a double pump. Or buy a double pump if you pump exclusively.
