wouw 👏🏼👏🏼 This is a great video. I’ve watched many videos of medela machines and No one talking about their lifetime. I was looking for a good pump and I’ve seen many negative reviews about this machines stop working after 6 months or so. Now, I can understand why they don’t work anymore.

This is a great video. I live in. NY and our private insurance covered our old Medela pump. It was the boxy one, noisy and quite old. We gave it away after using it. Now pregnant with baby#2 the insurance covered another pump. We were able to upgrade to the freestyle for an additional $242. Haven't used it yet. But I think I made the correct choice

Sorry for the delay in replying to your message! Have you had a chance to use the pump that you upgraded to now? You are lucky that you had the coverage in your insurance to get that upgrade! Would love to know what you think of the freestyle?

does the freestyle not switch over to expression mode in its own? also are the connectors (plastic pieces) not interchangeable with the pump and style and the freestyle?

Good info, but I think you mixed up the bags? The links you posted show the grey bag to the pump in style, and the black to the flex?

It's not clear if they are both portable pumps. Are they both portable? Or do you have to stay plugged in with the pump in style?

Thank you for this video! Is there any difference on pumping between the two? Maybe that the Pump In Style can get more milk or anything that differentiate both of them in that sense?

@newmummyco. 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Claudia, You are most welcome, we love making these videos! The amount someone will be able to pump will vary from person to person hugely based on multiple factors so it's not as easy to differentiate them in the way you would like us to. We have identified the main factors that you should be aware of in the two pumps to help you make your decision. One of the things that makes the most difference in the volume you can pump is often the correct breast shield/flange sizes. We have a separate video on our channel for that.

do these pumps have the "vibration" feeling like the spectra? I am trying to find a newer pump that does not do that motion similar to how the old instyle was more of a smooth pump or how the ameda platinum pumps (but smaller)

@newmummyco. 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Drew, I am not sure what you mean by the vibration feeling, as we don't have the spectra here in Canada as yet so I cant comment. Did you make a purchase in the end?

Just had a question about the lifespan hours...if the flex has 250 hrs x 60 mins, /45 mins is 333 days. Where you said the pump in style is 45 mins a day for a year (365 days) would mean the PIS is actually a longer lifespan?

Hi great video. The Pump In Style says it has a hospital performance so how it's the other one in comparison? Thanks

@newmummyco. 3 жыл бұрын

Do you mean in comparison to the Flex in the video or the Symphony pump? Just wanted to clarify as you commented on that video too. The hospital grade pump is really the only hospital grade pump that Medela make. In terms of the pump in style, it refers to the technology they are using in the new pump in style but as an entry level double pump it is a little like comparing oranges and apples when you compare the pump in style and the symphony.

dont buy either. Low suction volume and low suction strength waste of money if you want pump in style buy the older P.I.S unit. works better. Fact.

@newmummyco. 3 жыл бұрын

Hi David, thank you for your feedback. The older pump in style was a real workhorse of a pump and incredibly popular mainly due to its reliability and overall use. Unfortunately the old pump in style is no longer available for purchase and we would not recommend purchasing a second hand pump in style.

I would expect an response like that from you. Its all about you making sales $$ not about what works best for the user.
