Lansinoh Affinity Double Electric Breast Pump

I have had issues feeding directly and have been using this pump 3-4 times a day. It's quick, quite painless, and effective. I love the fact that it's a closed systems (unlike the Medela pumps unless you go with a hospital grade one). It's very sanitary and hygenic which is a bonus for me. I HIGHLY recommend this pump to any mom who wants to pump.

I am really happy with the pump.
I have only been using it for 5 days, but I needed it and it works great!
Starting from day 1, I can get all the milk out that I need for my baby.
Because breastfeeding doesn't work so well (inverted nipples) I am really happy to have bought this pump.

I am now only using 1 pump (baby is only 5 days old, so not a lot of milk yet), but I hope 2 pumps will work good too.

Highly recommended.

This is a good pump. I like the suction and speed settings that are adjustable, it's a little loud, but I've never owned a pump and I hear all pumps make noise. It's light and easy to travel with.

[...] I have owned this pump for 7 weeks and pump very frequently on a daily basis. The pump is loud but my daughter does not wake up from it when she is next to me. The option of using the letdown is great. It automatically will start out with a 2 minute letdown but there is a button that will turn it on and off. I also like the fact that it has a timer on it. Most pumps don't have that feature. I have had on going issue with one side pumping while the other side for some reason won't; it doesn't happen all the time just randomly. One pumping session it will act up and then the next session it will work just fine. I am buying a different pump because I can not risk the Lansinoh pump not properly functioning while pumping at work. [...]the suction isn't the best. I have tried 2 other pumps and the saying you get what you pay for is true.

I bought this pump to replace my old Lansinoh pump that broke (after about a year of use). At first I didn't like it - it's so different from the old Lansinoh. But, after about a week of using it, I like it better than the old pump.

PROS:

1. The pump has a slight vibration at the start of pumping that really encourages let down. You can bypass this mode, or the pump will switch over to regular suction after 2 minutes.
2. It's so small! This pump is so compact - I can put it in my purse and carry it with me.
3. The pump takes 6 AA batteries for those times when an outlet is not accessible. I can get about 15 cycles of pumping before the batteries need to be replaced. I think it's a lot more convenient than the battery pack that comes with some other pumps.
4. You can't beat the price! It's about half that of a Medela pump.
5. At first I thought this pump was not strong enough for me - I've been exclusively pumping for more than 4 months and was used to a strong suction. This pump is very gentle even on maximum suction, so quite different from the old Lansinoh pump. But, after using it for a week, I realized I was able to pump more milk than with my old Lansinoh pump.

CONS:

1. If you're used to the old Lansinoh pump, this pump may not feel strong enough at first, and therefore, it may take a little longer to pump the same volume of milk. Your body may adjust after time as mine did after about a week.
2. This pump is not whisper quiet - I usually put a hand towel on it while I'm reading or watching TV, but the noise is not overly offensive either.

Overall, a great pump for the price.
