Good idea but I had two of these not work (Medela replaced them for free), and the one that did work did not have great power. I ended up just buying the Swing Maxi. Aug 28, 2024
Nice to have if you pump on the go or in a place without power. You can walk around your house with it too. Feb 22, 2024

This battery pack is nice because you don’t have to stay in one place while pumping but it doesn’t last long before you need to change the batteries again. It can get kinda pricey:/ Jan 27, 2024

Great for making your pump portable! Jan 26, 2024

Sadly the battery pack goes through batteries very fast so I was lucky if I could get 2 pump sessions out of brand new batteries regardless of which brand I used. Oct 07, 2023

The Modela Battery pack saved me when I was on a drive across town and we got stuck in traffic for hours. I bought it as a "just in case" and I'm glad I did. Aug 09, 2023

Came with pump, doesn't feel as powerful as wall outlet but gets the job done if need be May 26, 2023

Takes 8 AA batteries making it a little annoying having to purchase and as they lose power pump looses suction. Comes in handy if it's just needed for occasional/emergency and there's no plug nearby. Mar 23, 2023

This was a game changer for me! Since I was able to pump in car, it allowed me a little more free time. I had ti go a long trip and was able to pump instead of having to pull over a find a place! Feb 18, 2023

Nice to have as a backup for the medela since it doesn't have a built in battery but Feb 13, 2023

Great to allow you to be able to pump away from an outlet. Aug 09, 2022
- Tatiana D.

I didn’t think I would ever use this battery pack, but it definitely came in handy when we were out and about. I even had to pump in the car during a event one time and this was super helpful! Jul 23, 2022

Love my battery pack, I use it at home and in the car. Having 2 and a back up ready to go makes things even easier for a busy mom Dec 03, 2021
- Ellen H.

This is really handy. It doesn't make you exactly hands free but it does allow you to move around and not be plugged into a wall. Also great if you need to pump but don't have power! Jul 27, 2021
Makes it easy to pump on the go! Jul 11, 2021

I used the Medela with my first baby and although I'm not a huge fan of the pump the battery pack is great if you have one. Allows you to pump while traveling easier. Jun 12, 2021

Loved for a work trip where I had to pump in car or places with out an outlet. Good power but had to change batteries frequently. Jan 18, 2021

Great idea, but when this is used the suction on the pump is terrible Dec 22, 2020

If you are planning on pumping, BUY THIS NOW. This completely changed the game for EPing for me. Worked with my spectra pump no problem, used it all the time, and the power lasted a long time. Aug 18, 2020

Takes a heck of a lot of batteries but if you're desperate enough I guess it works! Aug 15, 2020

This was a necessity while on an extended car trip to be able to pump in the car. Jul 22, 2020
- Heather T.

Great for when you are soemwhere with out an outlet, but you never know how long the batteries will last. So I also made sure to keep extra batteries or the car charger with me. May 03, 2020

Helpful for on the go but doesn’t give as much power as a wall outlet so I wouldn’t use extensively. Feb 08, 2020

Made using my at home pump very portable! Good battery life. Jan 23, 2020

It takes a LOT of batteries, but it's a nice thing to have when your power goes out. Jan 08, 2020

You are better off with the spectra s1 plus Jan 02, 2020

This saved me on several occasions! Nothing worse than having that overly full filling and realizing you forgot the cord to your pump. So nice to have this to keep in my bag. Aug 08, 2019

Takes a lot of batteries, but works great for camping trips. May 18, 2022

This plus the backpack plus the bra will give you the freedom to move around and get things done while pumping. Definitely a must have. May 08, 2022
- Chandra S.

Buy it! Perfect for pumping whenever you want. A big struggle for a pumping mom is not having a place to plug in. Or having to sit next to the outlet. It does take 8 batteries but worth it. Apr 21, 2022

Works great for on the go! It however uses 8 AA batteries at a time and they do not last very long. Feb 21, 2020
- Martha L.

This uses a lot of batteries, but doesn’t last very long. When the batteries start to die the pump will definitely loose a lot of suction. Jan 01, 2020

This is a great backup if you are going somewhere and are not sure if there will be a plug available Oct 14, 2018

If you pump at work or on the go this is a must! I always tried to plug in but used this when I needed. Feb 07, 2018

Requires a ton of batteries to work, but it's really a lifesaver if you need to pump where you don't have an outlet available. Apr 07, 2017
- Tara A.

I have this for my work pump. bottom line is you will never get the same suction unless you are powered by the wall. Better off spending your money on a power inverter and use the wall adapter Feb 16, 2017

This has come in handy often when on the go!! It has lasted me over 10 pumping sessions without having to put new batteries in yet! Feb 15, 2017
- Diantha P.
Orange Park, Florida
Best idea yet! Now my portable pump is even easier to use when on the go, i don't have to find an outlet! Even though it trashed 8 aa batteries, it doesn't eat them (drain fast) either. Feb 09, 2017

This sucker takes too many batteries and you barely get a few sessions from them! Sep 13, 2016
- Rachel G.

this was a MUST!!! but the one i had for baby #1 (used) has corroded and i can't even think about having baby #2 without a battery pack so i can pump-on-the-go! May 05, 2016
