I hate this thing with a passion. And because I exclusively pump and have to use it 6-8 times a day, it's like being in a bad relationship.My main complaint is that it leaks. It leaks from the flanges, unless you bend almost completely over. It leaks from the top if you turn it even slightly sideways. And it doesn't have to be full -- it leaks as you pump so it can leak from the first drop.Today was the final straw that made me write this review (I review most of my Amazon buys, but I got this pump via a company that supplies them through private health insurance. But you people have to know before you buy). This morning while I pumped, I turned toward my son next to me on the couch to practice smiles. After 20 minutes I noticed I didn't have much in my right bottle. After doing this for months, I'm pretty familiar with my output. And then I saw a little puddle on my blanket. No big deal, there's usually one every time I use this piece of crap. But still, I had twice as much milk in my left bottle so I kept investigating. The puddle went on and on. It soaked the entire top half of the blanket, through to most of the bottom half of my shirt and the top half of my shorts. As most pumping moms know, loss of milk is HEARTBREAKING. Especially since we usually pump for heartbreaking reasons -- premature babies, babies with mouth issues, sick babies, irregular breasts, low supply...even a few drops lost is upsetting, but when you lose ounces...there is a reason we call it liquid gold and why we have all literally cried over spilled milk. I don't cry anymore, now I get infuriated.Usually my first morning pump yields 8-9 oz. Today I got 6. So at least 2 oz leaked silently into my blanket and clothes while I smiled at my baby.And let me tell you, the leaking is the only thing silent about this monstrosity. It's so loud that my husband has to jack up the TV volume which isn't the best thing at 10 o'clock at night when there's a baby finally sleeping in the next room, or at 2 am when everyone but me is sleeping.Let me get back to the leaks. There are leaks from the flanges too, unless you bend over. The neck has to be at a 45 degree angle or more with the floor, or what you pump drips right back out of the mouth of the flange. I don't even know how this is physically possible with the suction but it is. I have not tried a hands-free bra with this pump for this very reason. You have to sit and hold the flanges in a very specific way or all the milk just comes back out the front. I don't think a bra could achieve the finesse it took me weeks to develop. And there are still leaks. They're just smaller and have become tolerable. And there will be more leaks and drips when you remove the breasts from the flanges, due to all the milk that has accumulated around the mouth while pumping, regardless of how you sit. How you sit just prevents it leaking out. It's going to accumulate at the mouth of the flange no matter what.Now, the flanges. Besides the leaks, there could potentially be a sizing issue. They apparently only make 2 sizes, standard and large. I knew the standard ones weren't really comfortable for me, and from my research I didn't think bigger ones were the answer, but I had to try. No, they weren't. I know now I need smaller ones, but they don't make them. So my whole nipple plus some of my areola gets sucked in and wrung mercilessly for 40 minutes at a time, 6-8 times a day. The nipples are fine, this is what they're made for. But I now have a semi permanent (I hope semi, maybe it will turn out to be permanent after a year. Who am I kidding, I'm not going to make it a year like this). red, distended ring around the very inside of my areola, outside the nipple. It's like a pre-nipple. No longer areola, but not part of the nipple. My breasts are like those collapsible camping cups. And it's sore. Not the nipples or the areolas, just this one area that gets sucked into the flange neck that shouldn't.What else...oh the tubing. I got this pump because it's a closed system, which I naively thought meant milk couldn't get sucked back into the tubing. Apparently that only means that, once it does, it can't be reintroduced to the main system and collection bottles. That's great because my tubing is full of old dried milk (that's where it goes when it doesn't leak out all over you). I had read horror stories of mold growing in non closed systems which is what I wanted to avoid. And honestly, in this Southeast Texas climate where humidity hovers constantly around 70+%, I'm not sure how mine hasn't turned moldy. But if/when it does, it will have to be replaced because it's impossible to clean. The best case scenario is just to let it dry and hope for the best.I'd like to say a little more about positioning. Besides the leaks, it's hard on the body. Hardest right after birth. I can't speak to standard delivery but I had a c section and hunching over to prevent leaks was not comfortable. It still isn't, but less so with an 8 inch wound in your abdomen. It's also hard on the back, more so if you have pain from your epidural because that's right where you have to bend to prevent leaks. And even after you're recovered, the acrobatics still take their toll. I get what I call my "pumping headaches" about every day, sometimes multiple times a day, because of the head and neck strain of hunching over the collection bottles.Finally, it's overall poor quality. The printing on the buttons started to come off with the first use and now is completely gone after 2 months of use. Thankfully there aren't many buttons and I know what they do. But what crap...you don't make a product FOR breastmilk and then make buttons with icons that can be erased by breastmilk.I would get another, different pump tomorrow (I would have gotten one 2 months ago) if I knew which one to get. But all the reviews are similar. The next time this one leaks half a feeding all over me and I chuck it into the street, I'll probably rent a hopital grade pump instead, because I had no issues pumping at the hospital and they're like $2k to buy.

I have both the Lansinoh and the Medela pumps. I like them both for different reasons, but either one will certainly get the job done. If this is your first time breastfeeding/pumping or your experiencing nipple tenderness, I'd go with the Lansinoh, it is gentler. I think this is because each pump on the Medela is directly connected to the motor by its own independent tubing. The Lansinoh is one tube out of the motor which splits into two after about 18". Full suction on the L is about 40% suction on the M. I've turned the Medela up a little higher a couple of times but always turned it back down! I think the Medela would have just caused more pain when I was first starting to pump. I like the Ls let down cycle more than the Ms. The L also has a better visual representation of the suction where Ms is a dial I find somewhat difficult to read with sleep deprived eyes in the wee hours of the morning. The Lansinoh is also easily battery powered by normal batteries in a built in compartment. You have to buy a separate battery adaptor for the Medela. The Lansinoh is just a touch easier to disassemble for cleaning though it has slightly more parts. The Lansinoh also has a built in timer which I really like.The Medela has it's pros too. Mine is just the pump, not the pump built into a bag, so it is just a little cube, with small Cary handle and side net pockets for the tubing and power adaptor so it's a very neat and tidy little package. I find the Medela easier to use if I'm only going to be pumping one side. The M also has noticeable longer tubing so if your pumping hands free you have more wiggle room in mobility. The biggest benefit to the Medela is being able to use the 2.5oz bottles to pump into instead of the 5oz size. The bigger bottles are just plain discouraging when you just start out pumping or your pumping after a feeding. 1-2 oz in the little bottles just feels like more and more worthwhile or successful than the same volume in the big bottles where it barely makes it to the first measurement markings.I'm glad I have both pumps. I mostly use the Medela to pump once each morning. I use the Lansinoh when I'm going to be away, like pumping in my car in a parking lot. When I was gone for a three day weekend and had to pump exclusively I took both pumps, used the Medela for the first day and a half, then the Lansinoh. I had similar output using both pumps and as I said, I think the Lansinoh is gentler.The other big difference is that the Lansinoh allows the user to adjust the suction pattern independently from the suction force. It's hard to explain, better to hear but: the L has three settings in addition to the letdown. The letdown is suck/suck/suck with no pause but you can adjust the suction force from low to high. The. There are three pumping levels. Suck..suck..suck..suck again you can adjust the force from low to high. A medium which is more Suuck...Suuck...Suuck...low to high force adjustable. And a high which is more Suuuuck...Suuuuuck...Suuuuuck also adjustable force. Basically how long the suck is held before release. The slight pause between sucks stays the same. On the Medela, the suck pattern is directly linked to the force, so if you have it on high it's gonna have lots of force and hold the suck for longer, low will have less force and hold the suck hardly at all. The Medela also has a letdown pattern which is a rapid suck and it's force is slightly adjustable, though I find it more difficult to do.I don't use either the Lansinoh or Medela bottles for feeding. We use the Kiinde Twist bags/bottles which I absolutely love! And they do have an adaptor for this newer large mouth Lansinoh but as of now you'll need to contact them directly to get it, it's not in their kits yet. Read more

Even at peak fullness and with an ample milk supply, this pump pumped nothing. Attempted multiple times and used multiple sizes of flanges. The problem seems to be with the pump itself, not necessarily the flanges. With other pumps 5-6 ounces after 5-6 minutes is average for me.This one struggled to produce three ounces total. Hugely disappointing. Read more

Muy satisfecha con la compra, facil de armar y de utilizar, muy practico, es a corriente, pero tambien tiene la opcion de que sea portatil si le colocamos baterias, me parece una buena compra, feliz con el regalo del bolso para llevarlo a cualquier parte y las bolsas de muestra para almacenar la leche, gracias x el envio rapido.

This pump is amazing! I went from a manual Medela pump to this Lansinoh double electric and I absolutely love it.The only bad thing about this is that the battery life does not last long at all. I got my pump in on a Monday and the batteries died on Wednesday. Also, The power button on the pump doesn’t always turn on and off easily. I have to continuously keep pressing it down in order for it to turn on/off. Other than that, everything about this pump is great Read more

Es un excelente producto, llega tal cual esta en la imagen. Muy facil de acomodar en el busto realiza la extracción sin dolor, lo magico es que funciona igual con pilas que conectado a la luz, mi experiencia en 6 Minutos extrae 5 onzas a mí, sobre bateria tengo 2 semanas con el y las pilas aun estan carga completa lo uso 2 veces en el día 10 minutos, utilice pilas de marca reconocida! Ampliamente lo recomiendo; es una buenisima inversión, calidad de materiales de 10. Si tienes duda en comprarlo no lo piences es un excelente extractor de oro Blanco :)Otra cosa importante, no es necesesario tener el cable de luz en extractor cuando se usa con pilas, y es resistente se me ha caido 3 veces :( como es manual lo tenia en mis piernas sentada y se me callo y no le paso nada hasta la 3era vez se astillo minimo el platico.Espero les sirva mis comentarios!!

Mi esposa está muy contenta con este producto, antes teníamos uno manual y acababa muy cansada al extraer 6 onzas, en cambio, con este producto puede obtener la misma cantidad en 10 minutos sin cansarse, NO INCLUYE EL BRASIERE, así que si no lo compran tendrán que sostener los extractores con la manos, recomiendo comprarlo para que realmente cumpla su función de extraer la leche y dejar con las manos libres a la mamá.

Lo amo!... Me ha ayudado mucho con las extracciones, tiene niveles de estimulación y extracción para que lo ajustes lo más similar posible al estilo de tu bebé. Casi no hace ruido, la he usado mientras mi bebé duerme y no le molesta, es fácil de transportar y me encantó que incluye la bolsa. Lo único malo es que la caja llegó súper rota, la cortaron por todos lados al pasar por aduana y se veía fatal, estaba destrozada. Eso me decepcionó mucho, ya que mis entregas siempre habían sido excelentes. Afortunadamente llegó completa. Pero me gustaría que tuvieran más cuidado con eso. Read more

I have used the same version of this pump but more expensive one (one with bluetooth feature) for past 8 months exclusively. Previous one broke because my toddler dropped it so decided to go with a cheaper version. It works the same. Same suction and easy to clean and put together. Its quiet as well. Great value for money.

Me decepcionó demasiado ya que a los dos meses de uso empezó a fallar y no sabía que era lo que le pasaba hasta que me di cuenta que una de las piezas no funcionaba, para lo cual trae otro par de repuesto, total que en cuestión de una semana más los dos pares de piezas ya no servían se habían roto, no creo haberles dado un mal uso ya que solo las usaba como debía de ser y la limpieza era la correcta, me metió en varios apuros ya que me fallo las veces que estuve en mi trabajo y no podía extraer nada, lo peor es que venden el juego completo de copas y demás, para poder obtener otras piezas de esas, lo que hace que gaste lo mismo como si hubiera comprado el de medela Read more
