The First Years MiPump

Stopped working after 5 months, clunky and pretty inefficient – I've never liked this pump but as I don't often pump I never bothered to replace it. It's pretty lousy at extraction and I have to compress my breast whilst pumping to get it all out. It started making a funny noise last use and the. Today it stopped sucking altogether. It's in the bin now! I think it's best to spend another $50-100 to get something really reputable. I used to have an event 6 yrs ago and preferred it.

Excellent pump at low cost – I was sceptical about this pump because it was so cheap and was very pleasantly surprised. it's the most comfortable of all the pumps I've tried, including the medela symphony, and just as efficient. the soft breast shield is awesome, with no tugging or chaffing. it's very small and portable, easy to assemble and simple to use. the one small… Read more

problem I've found is that if the breast shield has any soap residue on it, I can't get it to create a suction. but making sure it is 100% clean and shiny solves this.

I have two friends who also rave about this pump - each of us has very different sized and shaped breasts, and it works for all of us.

this is the best pump I've tried, and is an absolute bargain. Very comfortable, efficient, portable Loss of suction if shield has any soap residue

Great mini breast pump for use at home or out and about – Electronic breast pumps can be daunting to assemble for first time mums, but once you have the knack its really quick. It has a charger so the compact unit can be taken about with you in the mini tote with all the parts. I used this a lot in the first few months as it was easy to use any where at home. The biggest advantage is the size and… Read more

material of the funnel. Unlike the machines in hospital where the funnel has a small opening and quite rigid, the funnel with this model has a large aperture and is quite flexible. This means if you are larger, then you don't get the horrible chaffing and bleeding due to having too small a funnel. This turned expressing from a horrid experience to one that was really easy and relaxing. Good battery life, truly portable, easy to assemble, large & soft funnel Some milk gets sucked into the air hose, which can't be cleaned with water/soap

A good budget pump – I initially bought this pump because I had never tried expressing before and I didn't want to spend a fortune on something I potentially wouldn't use for long. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and size of the unit. It was compact and achieved decent suction. It was also easy to put together and clean. I would have preferred battery… Read more

operation, but for the price I didn't expect it.

After quite a few tries, my main dissatisfaction is due to the lack of suction. I can pump 150ml easily when I am engorged, but this pump struggles to extract the hind milk. It starts to get very tedious after a while as it slows right down after the initial letdown.

I would recommend this pump for women who a) are unsure about breastfeeding/expressing and want to try a pump for a budget price, or b) intend to express infrequently The slowness and inefficient suction would be incredibly frustrating for someone who expresses often. Inexpensive, easy to use, well-built Inefficient suction, small container to express into

So easy to use..best purchase ever!! – I was very apprehensive when first purchasing this pump, due to the small price tag. I didn't have great expectations. I was pleasantly surprised. I pumped 150ml in the first 20 minutes. The pump is virtually silent, and the attachments so comfortable and easy to use. I love the fact that it is so lightweight, and the pump is not connected to the… Read more

breast shield as in alot of other pumps. The pump unit connects to the breast shield and bottle via an airline. I would definately recommend this pump. I especially love the great little tote bag it comes in. What a bargain for around $100! lightweight, comfortable, reliable

Reasonably priced, does what it's supposed to! – I purchased this pump without expecting it to be anything special (it is quite a lot cheaper than other electric breast pumps on the market), and having nothing to compare it to I felt it was a risky purchase going for 'the cheapest one'. However, I've found it to be efficient and reliable and it does exactly what it's supposed to do.… Read more

Inexpensive, can run on batteries, comes with carry bag, easy to assemble, parts easy to clean. It's a bit noisy, bottle only holds 150ml so a larger one would be helpful. Only one bottle provided, two would be handy.

Easy to use, excellent value – This is my only experience with an electric pump (after trying 2 manual ones) and I have to say this is a million times better. It pumps quite efficiently, and is an absolute breeze to put together - I couldn't believe how easy it was! I still find it a little tedious to use at times so often squeeze my breast to help speed up the process, but it… Read more ·  1

is still much quicker than a manual pump, and only requires one hand which is a huge plus.

In saying that though, I do know some people who find electric pumps painful to use, and I can see how it can be a problem as I did get a bit sore after a long pumping session, but not really any different from a long feed. This pump has adjustable strength settings at least, so you can control the power.

I was not willing to fork out hundreds of dollars for a breast pump when I wasn't sure how it would work, or how long I'd need it for, and after reading some reviews on the MiPump, that's why I chose to give it a try. And I couldn't be happier really! very easy to assemble, reasonably efficient to use, great price quite noisy (but I guess that's to be expected from an electric pump)

Bought it for $35 on sale and been fantastic – Does what its meant to do, easy to use. I only use a pump perhaps 2-3 times a week if I want to express enough to go out and it's been great. My bub is now 6 weeks old, so far so good. The pump attachment is comfortable, and all parts are easy to clean. It's a good size to take out (if you have a big handbag!!) Runs on batteries and power Would be… Read more

much better if it was rechargeable on power. Difficult to tell how how much you've expressed if only a small amount as first measure is 50ml
