Nothing better!
This pump is absolutely worth every cent! Combing Fenugreek (8000mg per day as advised by midwife) and a lactation Biscuit recipe www.thebakermama.com whilst pumping for 15mins every 2/3 hours increased my supply from 30ml to 180ml plus in a matter of weeks! Easy and comfortable... cannot fault this product at all.
Purchased in December 2020 for $250.00.

Breastfeeding mum's best friend!
This pump saved me so much time, effort, and from getting constant bouts of mastitis.
I used the tommee tippee brand single pump to start off but it became too time consuming and wasn't helping get my milk supply increased.
I bought the spectra s1 pump second hand as we were a bit tight on cash with a newborn.
IT WAS A LIFE SAVER!
I bought all new accessories from eBay and the spectra website ( for health reasons). Wasn't disappointed at the amount of options available and price range for them.
The minute I put the pump to work it was insta...

Absolutely disgusting service and horrible product
This company are the worst company I have ever dealt with. I bought my pump back in April of 2020, the pump started having suctioning issues in June of 2020. I contacted the team at spectra who insisted there was nothing wrong and that I needed new parts, I sent a video through and they still told me to buy new parts. I am also having issues with the battery which started in July of 2020. They told me to log the battery hours and after logging the hours the pump will only last 90 minutes off charge as opposed to lasting for 3-4 hours (as stated...
Read more on their website). After messaging them several times because they were reading my messages but ignoring, they blocked me and now I have no way of contacting them! They are a disgusting company... Do not make the same mistake I did. They are a money hungry business who do not care about their customers. The moment you have an issue with your pump they will dismiss it and then eventually block you, all you have to do is read the other hundred reviews that are stating the same thing. Their reviews on their website are fake. Do not trust this company they will rip you off. They claim the pump comes with warranty but that is a lie. Unfortunately, I learnt the hard way and have been blocked. This company isn't even registered for GST! They are dodgy. Fair trading NSW will be contacted tomorrow and I will not hesitate to fill a court claim. Good luck to them.. They're going to need it. I wont stop until I get what I deserve.Purchased in April 2020 at birth partner for $372.00.

Horrible customer service: blocked me
Terrible company: avoid this company at all costs. pump became very weak and The battery life decreased under the guaranteed battery life. We were well within our consumer rights to get a warranty claim however this company ignored my messages and then blocked me. I have never dealt with a company like this my entire life. How desperate can they be for more. I will be taking my claim to NCAT. Disgusting people and I will be ensuring the word spreads. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Horrible customer service!! Constant same issue with their pumps!
Horrible customer service! When asked to speak to the manager after the poor service i was blocked! I wrote a letter and was never responded to!
After just over year, the pump died. It would make a ticking noise and then off. They sent a loan pump which did the same thing and made me prove it was the pump and not my brand new parts! Didnt seem empathetic to the fact I exclusively pump to feed my daughter and was very upset as my supply dropped dramatically. Forced to give formula now
My milk never came back to its full capability that it was ...
Read morebefore my pump broke and now 2 months later, my pump is dead again. In my opinion i should either receive a brand new pump or a full refund of the receipt price. To have the same issue in 2 different pumps in only 3 months is shocking.Purchased in May 2019.

Perfect pump
I love my pump!
It has a massage mode to trigger letdowns and a backflow protector to keep the milk and machine safe and clean.
It is powerful.
The only con to this pump is while it’s rechargeable, it’s not super portable. It’s quite bulky to carry around.
But I’m still very happy with my purchase.

Love this pump!
This pump is exactly what I needed. I'm exclusively pumping as my baby was is special care. It is potable enough that I can still move around the house if needed. The suction and cycles are fantastic. Being able to double pump is life saving.

A good breast bump
I bought this product for my wife when she just gave birth to our son but found it difficult to produce any milk by herself. The bump was comfortable enough to use, but we found it did not work that effectively as we expected, it took quite a long time to bump little milk though, so my wife had to sit on the bed for quite a while to produce enough milk for our child very often, so we eventually gave up using it because it just took forever waiting the milk. We had never tried to carry it elsewhere because we did not use it frequently after a co...
Read moreuple of weeks, but I'd image it would not be difficult to carry it around. Overall speaking, the breast bump does produce some milk but the amount of milk you get also entirely depends on yourself, if you do have enough milk, then you will get a good result.Purchased in August 2018.

Excellent suction
Has kept my supply great
Double pumping makes it so much quicker

Many options for pumping cycle and suction preferences.

Best breast pump !
Was recommended the spectra 1 by another mum. Love how I can transport it around the house without being bound to a PowerPoint, Ease of use , that is is hospital grade so I can sell it after I'm done with it, and how much Milk I can get out of it. Great price esp compared to other well known brands like medela. It was just as good as the Medela I used in the hospital. Love it and highly recommend it to other mums.

The best breast pump
I brought the S1 to the hospital with me when I had my second baby and it was even better than the hospital grade pumps there! The shields are really comfortable and I love how customisable the suction and frequency is.
I had a different brand with my first baby and the Spectra is just so much better. I get heaps of milk comfortably and easily, and the parts are easy to clean.
And the shipping and support is SO FAST! I ordered new breast shields to get a better fit and they came the next day. I cannot recommend Spectra highly enough. It is less expensive than other brands and yet the product is far superior.
Also, my toddler loves playing with the light on it! Haha!

Efficient double pump
Fantastic efficient pump. Relatively quiet compared to others. Can be portable unlike the S2 and allows for double pumping. Only negative is that pump itself is a little bulky, but makes up for this by the superior pumping. Lots of different settings ensures comfort.

Excellent breast pump
Really happy with this purchase of this breast pump, I like the fact it is portable once charged without use of cords which is the reason why I purchased. Excellent suction and easy to use. The light on the machine comes in handy

Excellent!
Excellent range of settings, fantastic quality pump and the battery life is fantastic. I pump while at work and can easily get 2 weeks (if not longer) without having to charge the battery. It's comfortable and for a hospital grade pump is not hard to carry around. The pump itself is very quiet, the only thing I wish was that Spectra sold more flange size options directly (I use the pumpables parts and they work great).

Easy pumping and can be used single or double
Started off using as a double pump but didn’t have enough hands. Now use as a single with one tube connected and a Haakaa to collect the runoff from the other crease.
Chose the S1 to port around without having it plugged in but it’s so bulky that I mostly keep it plugged into the wall. Probably could’ve gotten the S2, which has to be plugged into mains.
Use it with avent bottles interchangeably.
Took a while to find what settings worked for me but now I do massage mode on 75 and low (2-3) for a couple minutes, drop the frequency to 54 and 4 strength for about 5-10 mins and finish on 75 and 4 for a couple minutes

Worst customer service
I waited months to order this pump. I finally order it on sale with the storage bags and they fail to mention at the time of ordering that the storage bags will arrive after 1 January 2020, so I order the pump and boxes of the storage bags and then Im told after I submit the order to just sit back and wait until after 1 January 2020 for my breast pump as well. My baby is due soon and had I have known, I wouldnt have made the order. Spectra then proceed to tell me they cant deliver the pump without the bags, they need to reverse the entire order...
Read more, I then need to pay another $330 and re-order it. The customer service was terrible and extremely unhelpful. Do not buy from this site. Misleading and deceptive advertising. Save your money and time and buy elsewhere.1 comment

The BEST pump
Very comfortable to use with many different settings to suit everyone.
I used my Spectra S1 up to 10 times per day for the first 10 weeks after my baby was born. The portability and battery life is second to none. I pumped more milk with this pump than any other pump I have used.

Best.
As a mum who struggled to breast feed my first i done so much research into the best breast pumps and this one always came out on top without a doubt. I unfortunately learnt i couldn't breast feed and passed it along and the 2nd lady had absolutely zero issues and loved it as much as i did

Boost my milk supply
I have low milk supply for the first 5-8 weeks PP but this has dramatically increased it. I nearly gave up breastfeeding my bub but this helped me a lot and gave me all the courage to continue on. I am really glad I've jumped on the Spectra bandwagon. Definitely worth the money. Still using it and I am on my 6th month.

Good pump
I use the pump 2-3 times per day to help boost my milk supply.
So far it's been good, the adjustable suction is useful.
The battery life is excellent and would definitely recommend people to get the battery version.
The thing I'm not too keen on is the bottles it came with. I ended up buying an adapter so I could use a range of bottles. I was also disappointed that the smallest spectra flange was too big so I had to buy a compatible different brand.

Help my spectra pump has turned on but now none of the buttons will work to switch between modes, increase suction or even turn it off.

I was pumping and all of a sudden the Spectra turns off! I tried to turn it back on and the screen turns in but there’s no suction or pumping sounds from the pump. After a few seconds, it shuts off.
The battery is fully charged! Can someone help?!
