LOOOOOVE the Spectra! I chose it based on this video. Very gentle. Let me relieve engorgement even with bloody, cracked, sensitive nipples. Feels like your baby and not a machine. I'd buy it all over again and recommend it to my friends.

What a fantastic demonstration! Thank you so very much!

I just wanted to add, that after using the pump a bit more, the Spectra isn't as loud as it sounds in the video, when you're actually using it, there's not a clicking noise.. if that makes since. I think the balloon just couldn't exactly resemble a breast.

Just for everyone wondering If you go to the spectra site and express interest in reviewing a pump they will send you the S2 for Free and all you would have to do would be make a video or write up reviewing for them :)

I think I’m liking the Medela a lot more. I have an evenflo one and it’s good but looking at the medela that seems like a really good one to have.

I was going to say that my Spectra doesn't sound near as loud as this one 😔

Waiting on my spectra to come in the mail I hope I made the right choice by going with the spectra

this is a great video thank you!

did you get more milk with the spectra?

Thanks for the video. I have used the medela with both my boys. I am erring towards purchasing the medela because it’s more familiar but I am hearing a lot of great things about spectra. The only thing I am concerned about is in time does it lose suction, is there a car adapter so I can pump in the car and also can I pump at work without using and outlet? How long does the parts last so they need a constant replacement of parts like the medela (white membrane) that they suggest you change out after x amount of usage.

are they on single or the double pump feature ?

Should I get a used symphony or spectra? I respond pretty well with symphony but I dropped in milk supply using an elvie and baby buddha

i always see people saying they love madela pumps and they have saved their milk supplies with them and im so the opposite! the madela RUINED my supply! madela just will not work for me, i can be extremely full and it wont even get half an oz out! idk why but madela just doesnt work for me at all!! anyone else have this problem with madela pumps???? and any recommendations for good pumps that arent madela?

I still don’t know what to do. I rented the symphony from my hospital when my pump in style just wasn’t getting the job done anymore around 8 months PP. I used the symphony until about 12 months when I stopped pumping. Whenever I have my next baby I can get a spectra for free with my insurance or a new PIS. But I may want to buy a Medela Sonata with my own money. I’m just not sure which would be my best bet, especially considering I have so many pump parts for the medela PIS already and don’t really want to invest in lots of parts for a new pump. Any suggestions?

I am wondering which pump you preferred more and which one pumped the most?

Am deciding which breast pump to buy myself. My friend recommended the spectra and said its quiet herself. Ive never used spectra before but ive used the medela swing single pump. Does the spectra s2 make that loud clicking suction sound or is it because shes sucking the balloon up? I would really like to have a quiet breast pump..

The spectra looked way better

Thanks for the review!

So which did you like better and which did you feel felt more like baby sucking and which one do u thank gets more milk out when pumping

they are not both hospital grade. hospital grade means the pump is powered by pistons. they are both closed systems though.

This would have been cool with real milk... or rice water... an easily visible liquid.
