Summary: great pump 2008-09-01
Comment: I purchased this pump after reading a lot of reviews on it and other brands. I finally decided to take a jump and go for this one. I'm glad I did. It works really well, don't have to worry about cleaning the tubing, and the flanges and bottles are really easy to clean. I gave it 4 stars only because the motor on the pump is a little loud, not loud to say you wouldn't be heard if talking, but just loud enough for someone to know something was going on, if you're trying to be discreet, but oh well. For the price, its still a good buy.

Summary: Worth the Investment 2008-08-26
Comment: I really like this pump. The noise is not loud as others claim- it is a low hum. This pump was a life saver as I wasn't able to breast feed our child right away- so it really helped out estiblishing my milk supply. I would recommend you purchase it before you deliver- in case you have unexpected complications that prevent you from breast feeding right away (also sterilze it before to so you husband doesn't have to go home and do it for you). The suction and cycling works good- s you can vary them independently of eachother. If you are larger breasted/nipples I would suggestthe larger horns- which are only larger in the tube part for your nipple- I don't think the increase your milk- just your comfort- which in turn might up production. Well worth the money!

Summary: Pump Died After 2 Months! 2008-07-01
Comment: This pump appeared to be everything I wanted in a pump, comfortable and easy to use. But after purchasing BRAND NEW, the pump's motor died in the middle of my pumping after only 2 months of use. I would never buy this product again.

Summary: Happy with pump, happy with price 2008-06-19
Comment: I rented a medela lactina select for two months after my twins were born - initially to help bring in supply, later to pump bottles in the morning, after nursing, to have on hand for topping the babies off in the evening when my supply was lower and they were ravenous. I was reluctant to purchase a personal use pump because you can't try them out and you can't return then and I hated to spend much money and hate the pump.
But the cost of the rental was adding up and I finally bit the bullet and bought the Ameda. I am glad I did.
I have not used a Pump in Style so I can't say how this compares, but I seem to have as good results with it as I did with the lactina. When I pump after the morning's first feed, I get around 2oz with either pump. When I pump after later feeds, I get between 1 and 2oz. I know these amounts are not impressive but this is after nursing two babies, and what matters is the results between the Ameda and the Lactina are similar.
I like that this pump has adjustable speed and suction, like the original pump in style. I don't care for the "let down" feature of the PIS original - I like to have total control. If you start with low suction and high speed, and then switch to high suction and low speed once your milk starts, you have the let down feature with even more control. (I briefly rented a medela symphony which has the let down feature and I didn't care for it - the lactina just worked better for me)
I guess there are 3 things about this pump that I don't like, none of which are cause for not buying it.
1. Comes with BPA plastic parts. Not a huge deal as you can use any old standard bottle with it - I use the cheap BPA free evenflos - and the milk passes through the BPA horns too briefly to leach any way. You can also obtain BPA free horns - either in the hospital or from Ameda directly (you have to call and order the disposable hygienikit - I don't know why they say it is disposable, it is sturdy polypro plastic!) or from websites which sell the horns (I suspect they are buying the kits and splitting them up to make more money by selling the horns/bottles and "extra parts" seperately)
2. I often find myself using the highest level of suction and worry that if the pump loses even a little suction over time, it will not work for me - so I try not to crank it all the way up so my body doesn't get used to the max amount of suction. The max on the Ameda is not as high as the max on the lactina but it is still sufficient. I wouldn't reccomend this pump for bringing in your supply if you are ie nursing a preemie or otherwise having difficulties, but after that period I think it is fine for maintaining, occasional pumping, pumping at work, etc.
3. I have heard Hollister is selling the rights to the pump to Evenflo which makes me wonder if quality or service will suffer. Have not been able to get a hold of Hollister to ask this but may be something to consider. As it stands, it's not a problem now.
All in all it's a great pump. Skip the beefed up packages - you can store the pump in one of the hospital diaper bags and buy cheaper (and possibly safer) bottles to pump into. Save your money for something fun.
