Medela Swing Maxi Double Electric Breast Pump, More Milk in Less Time, Chargeable with USB, Featuring PersonalFit Flex Shields and Medela 2-Phase Expression Technology

Having a fussy newborn is never easy so my partner bought this particular model after several recommendations from midwives and even doula's. It's easy to use and straight forward to clean and causes no pain or discomfort to my partner (everyone's different though so don't shout at me if you do feel something.)One important thing to note is that you have to dry the "cup" where it connects to the piping with a thin rolled up piece of kitchen roll completely before pumping otherwise water travels through the piping into the pump itself. Only happened to us once and we soon learned what the issue was. The manufacturers solution was to buy new piping but clean pressurized air done the trick saving a few quid.Would definitely recommend.

Really happy I purchased these as it gave me much more freedom to move around while expressing. You need to ensure you click the parts in correctly after cleaning to prevent leakage but all in all an excellent addition to support baby feeding

Like so many other reviews, my pump has suddenly stopped working after 4 months. It has lost suction and intermittently switches on and off with very strange noises coming from the unit. It had also recently begun to spill, the membranes aren’t made to last. The pump was expensive and I am so reliant on it as my baby exclusively drinks expressed milk. We are outside of the return window so a lot of money wasted and we’ll need to replace so my child can be fed! Very disappointed.

Nice

Good. We cut holes into a crop top to put the pump through to make it hands free. Comfortable when pumping, can take a little longer than some other pumps.

There is a reason Medela pumps cost more, I have tried four other brands and these are the only ones that work for me! Maybe I am sensitive, but other types are very painful to use even on the lowest settings while the Medela empties my milk without hurting. It’s also quieter than any others I’ve tried. The pump is straightforward to put together, use and clean. The charge only lasts about three pumping sessions (about one hour of pumping), but it recharges quickly.Also customer service is amazing and my defective pump was replaced quickly, the replacement was delivered within 24 hours of my complaint.

I purchased this pump after hearing many good things about Medela breast pumps. When I first open the box and assembled the pump, I wasn’t sure how on earth I was meant to hold both bottles and switch the pump on at the same time I purchased a pumping bra, to hold the bottles in however this meant that the suction came loose around my breasts and therefore it didn’t work effectively. I have to use one at a time which takes twice as long and I find it quite uncomfortable even with the correct flange size I’m very glad I purchased this at a reduced price , as I would be quite disappointed if I had spent more money on it.

I did loads of research and thought this would be the best pump to get.Its good for getting milk out but I did find myself having to hold onto the pumps during it so I thought I would buy the bra to help free my hands up so I could get on with chores but then found my milk would spill out if I lent over to get washing out of the washer or pick up my baby from the basket. Also the round device part is heavy and bulking to carry around!I also found when on my own that holding my baby with them attached is difficult and baby knocks them off. Battery life isn't that brilliant either. Wish I went for something more subtle to put in my bra to do the job. Real shame.
