This was not my favorite pump, it gets the job done but I think my supply was affected with this one. As soon as I switched to a different one I had more supply Dec 23, 2023

I would say keep looking. It’s not horrible but no cushion, super loud, & no memory so you have to adjust settings the entire time & it’s painful. No cushion for mom at all. I struggled with this one Jan 31, 2022

It’s a good pump. Not the best because you have to manually figure out how to express the most when you have your let down. But it’s easy to clean and is quite compact. Mar 28, 2021

I got it through my insurance, it came with a special purse that keeps everything in place. I don't pump much, but it works good, has massage function and several speed modes. Jan 05, 2021

From Ameda
Ameda has been the first name in breast pumps for over 70 years. In 1942, Swedish engineer Einar Egnell made it his life’s work to help breastfeeding mothers. After years of research, Egnell created the first comfortable and effective breast pump that closely mimics the sucking rhythm of nursing infants. In the process, Egnell also created the vacuum and cycling standards that today’s lactation professionals use to judge breast pump quality. Today’s Ameda breast pumps combined Egnell’s innovative technology with the features a 21st century mother expects, delivering unmatched quality and service to lactation professionals, institutions, and most importantly, mothers.

What you need to know
• All Ameda Breast Pumps use the Ameda HygieniKit Milk Collection System. The HygieniKit delivers a proven protective barrier. • The barrier protects milk from mold, bacteria and viruses while pumping. We call our barrier “Proven Airlock ProtectionTM.” • The FDA reviewed and cleared the claim that our Proven Airlock Protection feature stops milk, moisture and air from crossing the barrier in either direction while pumping. • Proven Airlock Protection is provided by the silicone diaphragm located between the breast flange and the pump tubing. • This silicone diaphragm allows the suction from the pump to transfer to the flange to express your milk.

Decent pump. Not as great as some of the others out there but it definitely gets the job done! Apr 29, 2022

This pump is a JOKE. It's the only one offered by my insurance (norcal Kaiser) and it is often referred to in my lactation group there as a "toy". Yikes. Almost tanked my supply. Lucky I switched. Jun 18, 2018

Got this through my insurance with my first son. Didn't hate it, but don't love it either. It will be my 'back-up' pump with my second son. Apr 24, 2018

It works, just not as great as my Medela hand pump. It’s nice that it can be battery powered. It’s not quiet, but I like that milk cannot enter the tubing. Feb 14, 2018

I love this pump. I needed bigger bottles but super easy to assemble and clean. All around great pump Nov 16, 2017

I loved this pump. Had it with my first and the area to put the bottles is great. Highly recommend this pump Nov 02, 2017

I really like this pump. I like how compact it is, the bottle holders on the pump itself and that the milk doesn’t get into the pump, just the bottles which means no chance for mold. Oct 23, 2017

It worked okay, not enough suction, wish it was more technologically advanced like others out on the market. Aug 31, 2017

Got this thru insurance. Definitely not my favorite pump, like Medela better. Not very powerful. I do like how compact it is and the bottle holders on the pump itself. Jun 29, 2017

worst pump I have ever used, not even close to using the ameda that is in the hospital. horrible suctioning. Jun 20, 2017

This was the biggest disappointment as a pump. I would not recomend thus pump. Apr 10, 2017
- Audrey M.

It's not as powerful as the Medela symphony but it does the job, it's compact, and easy to take to work! The only thing is that you have to buy spare parts online because they don't sell it at stores. Mar 04, 2017

I received this through my insurance company. I was excited to try something different then Medela, but I did not like this at all. It could not extract milk like my Medela does. Would not recommend. Jan 23, 2017

I love this! It was a lifesaver since my daughter didn't latch and i still wanted her to have breastmilk. It worked great and came with a ton of accessories. Dec 30, 2016

Got this pump through my insurance. I've really liked it. I like the bottle holders and how easy all the parts are to clean. For some reason my battery converter stopped working though. Nov 28, 2016

It isn't bad but not great. Within 4 months the suction wasn't as strong and all together it just wouldn't pump. Had to cal CS for a replacement. Once I got it, 2 months after it wasn't working again Oct 12, 2016

Worked ok for a while but I ended up replacing this pump after 2 months with a different one that gets the job done faster and is more comfortable. Oct 04, 2016

This is a subpar breastpump compared to the Medela I used. I had a terrible time maintaining suction and got way more milk using the Medela. Jul 19, 2016

My insurance company paid for this double electric pump when I went back to work. Worked terribly, my used Medela Pump In Style worked better than this ever did brand new. TERRIBLE customer svc, too. May 16, 2016

Not fond of this pump. It's pretty low quality and didn't work well for me: Mar 28, 2016

This breast pump was great for when I was pumping. It's small and convenient to travel with but also got the job done with no problems at all Mar 20, 2016

This pump didn't work for me at all. I had much better luck with the PISA. Mar 03, 2016

I received this pump "free" from my insurance company. I felt it did a great job pumping, but the beeping was maddening! There are adjustments for speed and suction, but no way to end the beeping! Jan 31, 2016

Worked decently, wish there was more suction. My manual pump tended to get more out then this did. Also a lot of parts to clean is annoying. Jan 21, 2016

I received this pump through my insurance and it lasted less than 3 months. No let down option, too many parts and am happy I did not waste my money on it. Get a medela. Dec 31, 2015

I liked the fact that the bottles were contained from tipping but generally preferred my Medela PISA. Dec 23, 2015

I received this one free with my insurance so that makes it nice, but the suction isn't very strong and I like that there's a timer on the medela. I like the medela better than this one. Jul 20, 2015

Didn't have a choice in my breast pump b/c this was the one my company offered. Worked well enough, but sometimes didn't when I was engorged. Medela is prob better Jun 24, 2015

It works- just not great for me. I would prefer a little more suction power Feb 26, 2015

Had problems with the 1st pump but it was replaced by insurance. 2nd pump has been great. Works well every time. Comfortable and efficient. Oct 31, 2014

Suction was terrible. Struggled through this for a few months, then switched to Medela In Style....So much happier! Oct 28, 2014

Closed system. Easy to buy replacement parts. Relatively quiet. Worked well for me at work and home. Affordable. Sep 29, 2014

I got this for free with my insurance and it was terrible. Luckily I only needed it for a week before I got my medela-best ever! Aug 20, 2014

Got free from my insurance. Didn't like it at all, glad I got the medela pump instead! Aug 12, 2014

I had SO MUCH TROUBLE with the top valves collapsing which caused poor suction. This pump made me angry lol Aug 11, 2014

Look up closed system vs open system breast pump! I got this one bc I knew no milk could get into the tubing, unlike medela. Super happy with it Aug 06, 2014
- Shona M.
Solon, Iowa
This was the pump I chose to get through my insurance company. I picked it because of the option to use batteries. It absolutely pales in comparison to the Medela double electric I have. Don't like Jun 21, 2014
I rarely pumped but when I did this little guy had some great sucking action going on. I bought the dual pump more for the strength of the motor than for need of two pumps. Feb 19, 2014

It's what the insurance company covered. It's not the best, but it's not the worst. All pumping takes practice and patience! Small dials and too many parts to wash. Effective pump. Jan 09, 2014

awesome pump! so much quieter than others. lactation consultant had recommended and i'm glad i went with it! Feb 10, 2013

I would say keep looking. It’s not horrible but no cushion, super loud, & no memory so you have to adjust settings the entire time & it’s painful. No cushion for mom at all. I struggled with this one Jan 31, 2022
