Okay, so I was SUPER skeptical about this pump at first because of the price point. Like, how good could a $100 pump really be? But let me tell you - this little machine has been my breastfeeding MVP!
The suction is no joke - it's got 9 intensity levels and I rarely go above level 4. The massage mode is *chef's kiss* for getting things flowing before switching to expression mode.
Battery life? Amazing. I can get through 3-4 full pumping sessions (about 20 mins each) before needing to recharge. And it charges fast with the included USB cable - I just plug it into my laptop while working.
As someone who EP'd with my first baby using a hospital-grade pump, I can honestly say this portable one works just as well for me. Plus it's so much easier to toss in my diaper bag when we're out and about.
The only minor complaint? The buttons can be a bit finicky - you have to press them just right. But after a week of use, I got the hang of it.
Seriously considering buying a second one as backup because at this price point, why not?
