I’m seeing some negative comments so just wanted to share my experience with this pump. I’m an exclusive pumper for almost 5 months now. I got this one from my insurance and also bought a handsfree Elvie stride pump. I call my Medela pump my “good pump”, but also love the freedom of my Elvie. Pros: love this pump overall. Not heavy. Rubber things on the bottom so very stable. Definitely strong enough suction. Also fits dr browns bottles. Can also be connected to a medical pump (my job has lactation rooms with these pumps). Cons: no display what setting you’re on (amount of suction). The starting suction is too much for me, so have to turn it on while not connected. The fast stimulation mode is too strong for me, the extraction mode can go a little lower (my subjective experience). Had to separately buy a smaller flange, don’t understand why they don’t supply a few sizes.

Realmente me ayudo para tomar una desicion y sin duda prefiero un sistema cerrado que la version anterior, ademas super practica sus mangueras. Mucjas gracias

Thank you for this thorough explanation! There are several breast pumps that I can get either free or at a discount and I'm so overwhelmed with all the different kinds!

I got the old style flanges with mine! The ones that have the flexible white edges

Thanks for this!

Not too many reviews show you what it sounds like. I thought mine arrived broken because the noise pattern was strange, so I started watching reviews to find out if it’s normal. Looks like it is, thank you!

Do you know if the original 36mm flanges/breast shield work with this pump or not ? I am referring to the kind that were not oval shaped. Thanks.

Do you know if there is any way to pump directly into storage bags with this pump? I bought Medela’s Pump and Save bags with the adapter as they were advertised as fighting any Medela pump. It did not fit this one.

the pump has a vibrating shaking like sound is that normal? seems to work ( ftm) mine didn't have a white ring flange so not sure which one is the newer or older. ( didn't check) when i first started with another pump it was quiet and apparently i been using the flange wrong ( i was using it sideways and it was hell to get my nipple in it) saw yours was upright i felt stupid when i tried it went in easy peasy ( i have size H on right and triple d on left) my nipple doesnt come out very much like i been seeing online when i first started ( i mentally shut on on third week) so trying to relactate (sp?) after a month and half ....

Thank you for such a good explanation!! For a first time mom would u recommend getting the Medela pump in style max flow or the lansinoh??

Should these new parts/ connector work with Dr. Browns bottles. My baby is almost completely bottle fed and it’s sooo many dishes to wash!

doesn't look like it comes with a tote bag or the milk bag or the freezer pack like the old medela pumps used to come with.

The suction is so awful, waste of 💰
