Unimom Minuet LCD Portable Double Electric Breast Pump
Verified5 reviews
My unimom only lasted 9 weeks. Then it died – I loved my pump. Its discrete traveling on the road. When I use it I have pumped at least 9oz at a time within 15 minutes while the baby slept.

Short of Perfect – Positives - very quiet and light, charges very easily with a usb cord, portable, different massage and expressing options Negatives - does not have a memory setting so need to change each time. Suction pressure is not very high so doesn't express as much as other pumps I've used. The two plastic tubes are tacky and get dusty and dirty very easily, very weird material used for these tubes. Also it doesn't come with any attachment to hold the two pumps so having to hold it with your hands and adjust the setting it difficult. Should look into getting a hands free bra or something that would allow you to hold both pumps in place whilst pumping.
Overall I would not buy again if this one needed replacing. Will look into a hospital grade machine even if it's dearer.

Concerns/comment. First impression – Hello. This morning was my first time using unimom minuet LCD and I was worried I may need a new size, or maybe I it may be something else. However, I’ve noticed that while I was pumping, milk was getting IN the flanges and sitting within the bubbles, therefore the milk was going back towards me instead of falling forward into the bottle. If someone can shed some light on this problem that I may be doing something wrong or something please, that would be greatly appreciated. This is not my first time using a breast pump as I’ve used the Avent for a whole year with my first child (1.5 years ago) so I’m relatively familiar with how to operate a pump and what feeling comfortable is during a session. I wanted to sit comfortably but instead I had to lean slightly forward to ensure my milk would go in the bottle. Aside from that question/comment, I wasn’t too thrilled with the massage option. Although, the highest level is a 7 I still rarely felt anything and seemed nearly impossible to achieve let down. I’m currently 7wks post partum and my breasts are still a little sensitive and with that being said I still barely felt the massage at all. Hopefully my review changes as time moves forward.

Prefect breast pump – Portable, quiet and lightweight. I've been using it the last 2 months and I could not recommend it enough. The batteries are chargeable and it is compact and lightweight unlike the previous Phillips Avent I had previously.

The best breast pump! – In all my pumping experience with my 3 children ,Unimom is by far the best brand. The latest Minuet LCD pump that I purchased 4 months ago from Ubere is amazing! So small and lightweight. The USB charge port means I can charge it anywhere. So much easier to travel with. I love the 2 phase settings and can create another let down once I’ve almost finished expressing when I set it back to massage mode so I can fill a bottle each time or the pump and store bag. It’s so efficient! Thanks Unimom!

Hi Maggie, Thank you for taking the time to review the Unimom Minuet LCD. It does sound like your Silicone Massager was not inserted and sealed properly which could explain the milk accumulating in the Silicone Massager bubbles and the reduction in suction.
Have you tried expressing without the Silicone Massagers? It is optional and I personally prefer not to use them with my Unimom breast pumps. Try and see if the suction improves without the Silicone Massagers.
Please feel free to drop us a message through our website if we can be of any further assistance.
