Motor Faulty – I purchased this pump for $170 after reading online reviews in Nov 2020, turned out to be an absolute waste of money. The motor is not strong and less milk comes out. I have used it only couple of times and motor has stopped working. Show details

Issues with battery operation – It's reasonably comfortable however, I only get 50ml expressing for an hr. The pump is also loud and so I bought batteries so I could pump out the way of my baby (whom would constantly wake on hearing it) however it only worked for 2 minutes on ever ready heavy duty 1.5v batteries, so I put another brand new set of 4 in and the same thing! .. Now… Read more

I have to use it plugged in which is not ideal for me.. And definitely won't be when I return to work :(

Easy to use – Tried first time as heard a lot through online reviews. Very useful if working full time. Also easy to use as manual ones are very hard to use. This electric one makes life easier. Show details ·  1

Highly recommend – This pump is extremely easy to use, easy to clean and a good pump. It has 4 Speeds to pump on; and that helps with deciding which you need for the milk. It’s much much easier to use than the hand held pump. Show details ·  1

Reasonably priced. Reliable single pump – This pump is well priced and very reliable. It’s worked well for me and never let me down. As a single pump goes it works well with the avent bottles and storage containers. Travelling with it the unit itself is a little larger than some others but that hasn’t bothered me. Pop some batteries in it and it can be used anywhere anytime. Show details ·  1

Works well but for regular pumping I would purchase a stronger product – Easy to clean, use and transport due to battery option. I don’t find the pump to be very strong and I unfortunately do not get a great amount of milk from this product. Show details

Absolute waste of money!! – I purchased this pump for $169.99 after reading online reviews, turned out to be an absolute waste of $$. It left my breasts sore and tender. I tried to return the item and was told to see my GP as this pump was designed for comfort and there’s no fault with the pump- basically no return/ refund. Show details

Low suction – It worked fine for about 4 months with my first baby in 2017. Next time I used was with my second baby in 2019 (2 years and 5 months since I bought the pump) so it was out of the warranty. After about a week of use it started to make a strange noise and suction power was gone. Philips wouldn’t deal with it as it was out of warranty by 5 Months. I… Read more

was given the same breast pump brand new and the suction power is even worse. I couldn’t express even a drop. There is no receipt for the second pump but it was made in 2016 (same as my first pump although I purchased it in May 2017) so again Philips won’t even look at it. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. $200 is too expensive for just 4 months of usage. I would expect it to work for at least 2 babies like other pumps do.

Easy to use – I used this pump frequently after birth for about 4 months about 3-4 times a day. It is comfortable and compact, I also like that you can use it with batteries without plugging it in. So if you do need to take it anywhere you could. It was easy to use & wasn’t to noisey. There is different options on to find the one that’s comfortable for you. Show details ·  1

Good and reasonable price – I bought this last week and I am happy with this machine. The pump is very smooth and very comfortable. Noise level is acceptable. Very reasonable price. Take less time to pump the breast milk and natural touch. Show details

What a disappointment this was! – After reading some good reviews, I decided to buy this "super comfort" breast pump. Unfortunately it was everything but super comfortable. The suction power is fine however the massage cushion it came with was too small and my nipples would rub against the cushion causing extreme discomfort and some bleeding. I have gone to many retail shops… Read more

trying to find the larger cushion however no one was selling it. I had to limit pumping because of the pain until I could find a larger cushion which was only available online. I had to wait another week before I received the larger cushion which in the end did not make any difference!! The nipples were still rubbing and each pumping session was extremly painful. This is extremely disappointing, especially given the price of this pump. Spare parts should be available urgently as milk needs to be pumped regurlarly! It's not like breast pumps are super cheap that I can go and buy another one off the rack.

good value – It’s comfortable to use. Does it fairly quickly. Draws milk sufficiently. I used the pump about 3 times a week. Of all the pumps on the market I found the availability of parts the easiest to find, you can get them from Coles, baby shops and chemists. Show details ·  1

I love this pump – I was given a 2nd hand Medela by a friend and was never very happy with the small amount I'd pump each time. It ceased working one day when milk got into the motor and the troubleshooting didn't work. After comparing pumps and choosing this Avent one, I couldn't be happier. Expressing a lot more and finding it very easy to use and clean. I'm so… Read more ·  1

happy with the purchase and the warranty provided. It also cannot fail in the way that the Medela did. Love it!

Reliable and easy to use! – Very comfortable, sometimes needs to be re positioned to be effective, but this is no real big issue. Very easy to clean and operate. The battery setting when not plugged in seems to have some bugs, the pump will sometimes just stop pumping, but we don’t rely on the battery as a function so we love the pump!  Show reply

Excellent pump – I really liked this pump. It is small, light weighted than the one I was using earlier.It is very comfortable to use and you really don't have to lean forward like with other pumps.I get good milk flow and can express a decent amount of milk with each pumping. Recommeded

Good starter breast pump! – This pump did the job for me. As a stay at home mum, I did not use it regularly and my son did not like to drink from the bottle when he was younger. I only pumped to get milk to mix with his food or when I needed to leave the house for an hour or two. This pump helped a lot when I had too much supply. Its cheap compared to other pumps. My only issue with it was the material turns brownish or darker even with minimal use.  Show reply

Works but very minimal output – This machine works but is quite uncomfortable I even tried the wider cushion and it just pinches It also takes a very long time to get a small amount compared to other brands I’ve used. Could just be that it’s not for me but would work great for someone else but my experience wasn’t terrible just not great.

Alright product – It’s very comfortable to use but I felt when using it not very powerful in pumping. I felt it takes long time to pump but apart from that it’s good to travel with and easy to pack. Cleaning the product is easy, instructions are clear. It’s good value for money.

Would buy again – So usually I use a spectra breast pump at home but when it became time to go back to work and I needed to pump I got this for in my car. Pro 1.) I love how you really can sit in a normal way and still pump. My other pump leaves you sitting at that weird pump angle. This one does not. 2.) Batteries, can't go wrong. I've pumped 3 times and still… Read more ·  1

have battery in my 4 double As but this will be the last test, how many pumps do you get on one set of batteries.

3.) It gets milk out, it isn't perfect, but it gets my milk into a bottle. ..purpose served

Cons

1.) Didn't matter to me cause I was in my car at work, but it is louder

2.) Really hard to clean, so many random pieces and grooves. Harder then my other pump to keep clean

3.) My coupons that came with unit expired in 2015...it is now 2017. Makes me wonder how long this pump sat around

Very average pump – This pump is loud and very average suction. I borrowed a friends Medela (which I was too cheap to buy) and it is way better and worth the extra $100 for regular uses. My Avent hand pump is fine for irregular uses, but not as efficient as the electric pumps

Good value – Used it once a day for 3months at a time. Have 2 little ones. Good value and flexible with either using it by power or battery. Felt no difference of power between the two options. Bit annoying sometimes to wash because there are so many pieces but overall good machine does the job with 3 different speeds.  Show reply

Fantastic pump... took the stress out of expressing! – Absolutely loved this pump. I found it really easy and comfortable to use. Fairly quite machine with 2 different settings so you can select how fast or slow you want to pump. Easy to pull apart for cleaning and great quality, I was able to use the same pump for both my children. I would definitely purchase this product again.  Show reply

Such a life saver – We got this as a gift and I’m so glad we did. It made like a lot easier for me! It’s very easy to use, light and easy to clean. My only negative is I found it leaks a little sometimes and I really couldn’t figure out how to fix that. Will be using when we have number 2!

Loved this pump! Quick and quiet – This breast pump was super comfortable to use. It was easily able to be taken apart to clean and put back together. The pump itself is quiet yet really powerful. It also has different settings so that you are able to select how fast or slow you want to pump. Starts off with a let down pump as well to get you flowing. Loved it!  Show reply

Not strong enough – Unfortunately this item wasn't strong enough for me and I couldn't pump more then 40ml Unlike the hospital grade (I tried the spectra version after my son was born) where I could get 70-90ml the device is comfortable and not too noise just didn't work for me. If I was more prepared I would of purchased the spectra even though it's dearer

Does the job – Very expensive breast pump I bought it for $300 in 2015 and have used it both then and in 2017 after I had my second child.. it definitely does the job well, slowly but surely depending on how much milk you’re making, so it can be a bit time consuming considering its a single. Only major con for me was that is it is super noisy!!  Show reply

Great Starter Pump – This is a good option for a once in a blue moon pump. I used this every day for 3 months as my baby didn't latch. I eventually found it wouldn't pump that well comparing to other brands. It was comfortable to use. I generally used this pump for about 20 minutes 5 times a day. Easy to clean, just chuck it in steamer once a day then leave in… Read more

Lifesaver – I used this pump about 4 times a day every day between weeks 1 and 10 and it never failed. Has three settings plus a let down setting you can use it on which was good.
